Miksi Early Access?

Spacelane Express is releasing in Early Access so it can grow alongside its players.

The core experience — flying, docking, and hauling cargo between planets and stations — is already playable and polished. Early Access allows us to refine these systems based on real player feedback while steadily expanding the universe with new routes, stations, ships, and quality-of-life improvements.

Rather than rushing toward a massive scope, development is focused on making space trucking feel calm, reliable, and satisfying, one update at a time.
