Design any ship you can imagine, hire a thousand-strong crew, and get all of them killed.
If you're anything like me, your favourite part of any game is when things are spiralling out of control. The best stories happen when half the world wants you dead and the infidels are at the gates in Crusader Kings, when the lower levels flood with lava in Dwarf Fortress, or when your crew are split evenly between suffocating, possessed, or on fire in FTL. Cosmoteer
It sounds very much in the vein of a Rimworld or a Drox Operative: one of those small but impossibly dense, systems-heavy games that only ever seem to get made by tiny and fanatical dev teams. The game's description promises an"easy-to-learn yet incredibly flexible" starship designer, and in the trailer it looks like your personal starship Titanic can take whatever layout you're able to draw before you start layering modules on top of it.
To me, that sounds like a system that's going to generate endless stories. The best parts of this style of game happen when one of your little guys suddenly gets it in their head to do something wildly inadvisable that totally obliterates your progress. Even if Cosmoteer doesn't promise NPC simulation on the level of something like Dwarf Fortress, I'm pretty intrigued by the possibility of going down with the ship because one of my legioned morons got stuck in a corridor.
