Dear pilots, First of all and with all our hearts, the entire ROCKFISH team would like to thank you for your interest and participation in our forums. It has been a tremendous pleasure and invaluable help for us along the entire development process and beyond. Now, with EVERSPACE 2 still in early access for several months and with decreasing traffic and less than a dozen active users on our forums, we decided to cease hosting our own forums. The vast majority of discussions are taking place on the STEAM DISCUSSIONS anyway. By the end of March 2022, we will cease hosting our own forum and kindly ask all remaining pilots to head over to the official EVERSPACE Steam Forums for future support and discussions: EVERSPACE 1: https://steamcommunity.com/app/396750/discussions/ EVERSPACE 2: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1128920/discussions/ Kind regards and all the best, ROCKFISH Games

Hello Everspace Community! We're almost down to ONE WEEK LEFT for the full launch.

@ROCKFISH_Andi

has some important information regarding joystick controls at release:

Before buying, please be aware that the game currently does not support joysticks. We will start working on joystick support right after release.

Also note that only XInput controllers are fully supported (XBox controllers and the likes). When playing in VR you will have to rely on a controller.

We know that there are many space game fans out there who own joysticks and might be wondering why there currently is no support. Please consider the following:

• Unreal Engine 4 does not offer native Joystick support in version 4.14 (which we are currently using) and we are a fairly small team of 12 people, with until very recently only 3 coders working full-time on the game.
  
• Everspace was specifically designed for mouse and keyboard. It is the

We're very excited to announce that the Kickstarter campaign for Everspace 2 just launched! The sequel to Everspace won't be a roguelike, but an open-world space shooter with deep exploration, tons of loot and classic RPG elements. Your invaluable feedback helped make Everspace the success it was, which is why we'd like to get you on board as soon as possible. With your support we will be able to stay in full creative and financial control and increase the overall quality of the game. So please have a look at our reward tiers and maybe help us unlock a few stretchgoals as well. We would also like to point out that anyone backing on a digital game copy of Everspace 2 will receive a playable Demo Version before the end of this year!
