Blockade Runner is a game where you will be able construct your own ships, fly around with your friends, gather resources, etc; basically Minecraft in Space. However, at the moment it is in VERY early development, it just falls short of being labelled a game. But, I've already bought Release 1, and I'm having great fun just building a ship and then causing a lot of damage to one of the default ships floating around.
