MOTHERSHIP by fabsy
This is a simulation/management game where you rebuild your ship and explore a procedurally generated galaxy for resources.
In this prototype, the objective is to research the ancient artifact to its completion (100%) and keep the oxygen and carbon levels above 0. You cannot interact with the crew screen or reassign roles, and the ship building is purely cosmetic at the moment.
There is a small chance to lose crew members or finding new ones when harvesting any planet.
This entry was inspired by Dwarf Fortress, EVE Online, Aurora and Prison Architect.
----- Resources -----
Oxygen - Needed for crew survival
Carbon - Same as oxygen (food)
Silicon - Needed to advance research
Iron - Needed to build any tile
Hydrogen - Fuel for the ship
----- Controls -----
Right-click and middle click: Drag camera
Scroll wheel: Zoom camera
Left-click on a planet on the "planet survey" list: Harvest planet
BUILD MODE:
- Left click: place tile
GALAXY SCREEN:
- Left clicking on a star sets a new destination
----- Intro -----
Commander, we have discovered an ancient alien artifact during an expedition
During its retrieval, an unknown force coming from within destroyed
half of the ship and most of the crew along with it!
Only three remain. we must find some scientists to figure out
how to destroy the artifact

What made you think this game it's about ancient technology? The objective?
Most of the time I will try to fit Space into any theme though, so that's a challenge!
I think I accidently demolished part of the ship, but I'm not sure what happened. It wasn't clear to me what happened. The numbers were hard to read, but that may have been because I was playing it as windowed, rather that full screen.
I do think giving the crew names would be a nice touch for future versions. :D
Good job!
