Thank you. Now it seems so obvious.

Great demo! I am an avid follower of your DD-series and it really surprised me how immersive and vast a game can feel with such a "simple" structure. I played on a crappy old laptop and encountered no bugs, but some major lag when on uninhabtiated planets. The rest of the game ran smoothly. Some other things that were not clear to me/ I'd like to mention:
The time system: It was unclear to me how time passes. I know that when sleeping, cycles go by pretty fast, but when awake and not traveling, I didn't really know how fast time passed, if at all. I still don't know how long one cycle is supposed to be.
It would be nice if, on the system map, one could see how far the ship traveles in a given time (=how many cycles it would take to reach a certain destination). That would make planning efficient routes between multiple planets possible.
And, although I feel like this is because I overlooked something, I could not get the warp drive. I took the ship upgrade from the wreckage and went to a planet with a crane-icon on it, but I didn't find a shipyard to upgrade my vessel.
Edit: Some issues I came across:
- The game freezes if you place an item into the wall. Other people already mentioned this.
- Changing your name when starting a new game doesn't always work.
