Just got Starpoint Gemini Warlords recently. LGM's previous game was also in Early Access and turned out excellent. I wanted to hop into alpha immediately so I can cooperate with my ideas. Game looks excellent, there are many glitches at this point, but there were already 2 updates with fixes and new ships/stations. I feel this will be another successful story if developers keep listening to their players.

Plus, community members have devised a religion of sorts on Steam forums. Named "Meep" it is a very fun read to have every day :)
