Shouldn't they finish Space Engineers before dropping ANOTHER Early Access game on Steam?
Not that Medieval Engineers didn't make me feel all happy in the pants. Because it did.

Space Engineers will never be finished, it will evolve forever like Minecraft. In a way, it is already finished, people seem to love it and not many complain about it being Early Access or anything.

That was my initial feeling that they should finish Space Engineers first. If you buy the dev's explanation a lot of the technology is the same and SE won't suffer from the development of ME. Looking at the alpha footage that could be true (plus you can edit the actual terrain!) but let's face it these things never work out as well as the devs plan it.
Falconeer also has a point. SE is already a pretty damn good game, I've happily spent a LOT of hours over the last month playing it and haven't even touched multi-player. I bought it on sale for $10 and it's the best 10 bucks I've used for gaming in a looong time.
What would seal the deal is adding more depth and objectives to the gameplay, whether this come from devs or a good modder remains to be seen.
Now excuse me while I go back to fiddling with the new fighter craft for my space carrier..

I appreciate that they keep evolving the tech. into designs that may make a bit more sense, as long as they give precedence to those folk who were with them from the beginning (as they did with Miner Wars). Though, Space Engineers has a tremendous upside; I also kinda fail too see why'd they'd dump development unless they planned on making it open source. Perhaps they were waiting as long as they could for a big box publisher and never got one. This may be the only biz model that keeps them afloat.

Make sure your carrier doesn't accelerate at more g's than your fighters landing gear can take.

This game sounds fun but then I see the programming stuff.

Programming is only for the hardcore players I guess? I'm not touching it and probably won't.
BTW the symmetry function is such a god send.

They added planets Kinda wish they'd combine the two games so you could land your spaceship on a castle and terrify the peasants.

This had been on my wishlist forever, so I picked it up on sale the other day. Played through the tutorials and was a bit 'meh', then fired up the default 'Quick Start' game. Start with a ready-made base with a turret, a few completed small ships and a couple of unfinished things. Hopped in the 'Deterrent' small fighter just as a tiny space pirate ship flew over and started harassing me. Chased it off, started mining with the mining ship, started putting things together.
All 'meh'ness banished, this is fun!
