I went and consulted
The Oracle for you about this game, since we're buddies, me and that Oracle.
Reviews from January of this year or earlier said it was an unfinished mess and not worth your time. Reviews from March through May said that it is a good example of an early access game - incomplete, buggy, and unpolished, but with a good idea and good implementation. I didn't find any reviews from this month. Also, Metacritic is of no use for this title, yet. So, while I haven't played any of it, the consensus seems to be: if you wan a ship-building simulator, this is a great use of ten bucks. If you want a full game, you need to wait.
EDIT: Damn you, foxworks, and your ninjary!
