I thought the same thing... I wish they didn't pretend that they existed within a vacuum, and made it clear how they're different.

But they're space games...don't they exist in vacuums by definition?

Space Engineers only sometimes exists in a vacuum as it simulates pressurised spaces and planets ;)

Has that become any better? last time I played with it about the only mechanic that worked was slamming ships into rocks and watching them crumple

Planets, programmable systems, automation, the game is basically constantly under development

Why would you want anything else?
