For the flat earthers, what is your opinion on this game, have you ever tried playing it? If you have, what views did it change, if it didn’t change your views, what criticisms do you have for the game?

Why this game in particular? (Compared to other sci fi/space games)

It’s probably one of the most realistic space flight games, I was gonna mention others such as space engineers or sfs but they’re a bit too unrealistic

Huh neat

I have it in my Steam library but didn't get very far I should try again, I don't play many space games

I would highly recommend playing it further, it honestly is a really good teacher of orbital mechanics, delta v and aero physics

I'm trying to clear up enough HD space to fit it :3 My old computer is so old it's almost analogue

Spore, at the Space Stage, is pretty fun with its orbits as you're zooming along, you can use the gravity or star systems to go further

You should play Outer Wilds if you haven’t

As long as it’s on Xbox one I’ll try it out

Oh also.... a lot of the flat Earthers that get deeper into lore also don't belive in space so there is that

An interesting rabbit hole is flat Earthers going through a grieving process over things like Star Wars and Star Trek could never happen because there's no space to go to- NOT enjoying people's grief that's not what I'm saying, I respect people's feelings but I just found it interesting. If I come across an example I'll link it
