    As a fan of both games, this is perfect. And even though you can already be a space trucker in Elite Dangerous, there’s no truck-shaped space ships, so I guess that’s the untapped market they’re going for.

      Depends on what you consider a truck. Those flat-faced European trucks with an enclosed cargo compartment look a lot like a Lakon Type-6.

          I love the look of the Type-7. I can’t wait for Starfield where I can make my own blocky, bulky cargo ship like that.

    Elite dangerous and even eve online always boiled down to me becoming a space trucker. I’ll have to check this out

      It was fun doing transports mission in ED with the big transporter ships. It was pretty barebone and got bored rather quickly though. Hopefully a game where it’s the sole purpose should have more features and interesting things to do

    Damn, this looks good.

    Although I wish it was as campy as the film it’s obviously loosely based on.

    Space Truckers (full movie free with ads on YouTube)

    This movie is such a god damned stinker its a pleasure to watch. Dennis Hopper and Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones) giving some of the worst performances of their lives in the campiest piece of shit you’ve ever seen. Bonus George Wendt. This movie wanted to be The Fifth Element so badly and failed so miserably. Magnifique.

    That’s interesting! I was not expecting a game like that, but it kinda looks…fun?!

    By the way, for some reason the link didn’t work for me so I had to look it up on YouTube. Here is another link that worked for me.
