Last time I tried it, it didn't crash but after taking the lift and walked around the space station for a while I got bored. Apparently there's a game in there somewhere but I couldn't find it.

Apparently there is a way to actually find a ship to fly in, but they sure made it difficult to find out how to fly it.

Ah I understand that sentiment. One time I had the luck of getting to the lobby and experienced less lag than usual, only to be stuck in a similar way. Ended up having to dig through posts to figure out how to find shops, purchase from them, get my ship, how to start the ship, and take off.

Ngl, it was enjoyable when it worked, but I'm also the type who likes to aimlessly explore. Found myself heading to a random space station and then to a random planet and that was fun enough for me... until I got booted after walking around the planet for a few moments. Didn't know you have to rest at a location to have it count as a checkpoint, and upon reloading the game ended up starting back where I first spawned in the beginning of the game... only to find no elevator yet again...

Heads up though, when you get to a lobby there's usually a location nearby with screen panels or kiosks, and they usually have a yellow UI (forget if the UI is visible prior to interacting with the screen). You can use those to call your ship to a hangar
