Do You Prefer Real Hard Physics or Easier Physics in Space Games?
I built a ship for me and my friend.
Spent around 2 hours collecting ore, refining resources, assembling materials, and finally building the ship.
Everything looked fine.
I switched engines, adjusted power, stabilized the thrusters, and we boarded the ship.
Two minutes later, I realized I completely lost control.
The ship crashed.
Gone in a second.
Honestly, moments like this make space engineering games feel incredibly immersive and memorable… but also painfully unforgiving.
So now I’m curious:
Do you prefer:
Realistic, difficult physics where mistakes can completely destroy you?
Or easier/more arcade-style physics that let you focus more on exploration and fun?
For me, realistic physics creates insane tension and memorable stories, but sometimes it feels brutal after losing hours of progress.
