I've been building a space game called Sector 37 and wanted to share it with the space sim crowd.

The main mechanic I'm experimenting with is making ships feel like actual machines rather than fixed upgrades.

Your ship is made up of individual components:

• weapons
• engines
• reactors
• shields
• other systems

What you recover and install changes how your ship performs.

Combat involves managing power between systems, pushing components into overdrive, and adapting when environmental hazards damage your ship.

There is also a strategic layer where you manage territory, resources, and defensive fleets while taking your main fleet into battles.

I'm looking for honest feedback on the simulation side:

• Is it fun?
• What's good, what is terrible?
• What would be cool to add?

Sector 37 is a story-driven space action RPG with light 4X strategy elements.

The core idea is simple: your ship is the loot you collect. Every weapon, reactor, shield, and subsystem you salvage becomes part of your build, letting you gradually turn a single stock ship into a heavily armed fleet.

Outside of combat you'll expand your faction's territory, defend resource sectors, and build fleets to hold what you've conquered. During battles you'll manage power distribution, overdrive critical systems, survive dangerous environmental hazards like nebulae, and fight increasingly difficult enemies and bosses.

The farther you push into unexplored space, the tougher the encounters become but the better the rewards.

I'm a solo developer looking for honest feedback on gameplay, progression, controls, balance, UI, or anything else you notice.

A bug reporting tool is available in the settings if you'd like to use it. It's disabled by default and only submits game log information—no personal data is collected.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
