Cool concept, but without a working prototype I'm not buying any. Too much like No Man's Sky, and we know how that went Undecided

What kind of prototype are you looking for? There is this prototype deployed on the Ethereum chain right now, and it works.

Here's a listing of the stars in the (0,0,0) sector, from the test suite:

There's a nice G-type star (number 4) that might eventually have some habitable planets, and a relatively rare giant K-type star, and a white dwarf. There's all sorts of gameplay possibilities there; even something as simple as a Noctis clone, where you fly around refueling at white dwarfs, would be pretty fun.

Reading console dumps is not a particularly slick way to explore the universe, so I'm planning to develop a nice front end to let people explore the generated world in a web3-enabled browser, to hopefully be completed before the crowdsale is over. Is that the sort of prototype you're looking for?

Cool, didn't see that. Looking forward to seeing this coin mature. But yeah, some sort of fancy thing is gonna be needed for this to go big, i think most people don't want to buy meaningless coordinates. Also, there should be some super-rare types of things.
