Space Station 14.

Frontier station gameplay: This game is intentionally complex. Gettimg a space suit on? Don't forget your oxygen mask. ..and helmet. ..and to make sure the oxygen's on. ..and that you have grav boots. ..and that they're on.

Grab an ore bag in one hand, pick in the other, and start breaking rocks. If you're lucky, you can get with a good captain and make some dough.

But honestly, i usually get paid more working as a janitor for the station. Or as a bartender, mixing up various drinks, if it's a good day and people are tipping well. I've been trying to run my own food truck, but it seems mostly what I do is die.

..but, then there's sitting at the bar after a good run, drinking and playing music. You can join in a midi band, or play your own uploaded song. Dance with people, or drop banana peels and watch 'em slip. It's a good tune to be alive.

Regular SS14 play: Or, try to do the above. But the station is faced with some awful inevitable catastrophe. Serve drinks and secretly dose them with hallucinogens, until the zombies come, or terrorists with nukes, or alien artifacts that do.. ..Things. Or join sec and try to keep the station going by dealing with whatever threats there are (including errant bartenders slipping drugs into peoples' drinks), or at least evacuate the people. ..and anyone could be a bomb-packing terrorist.

Or be a hamster. Or, y'know.. Anything you want to.
