It's the same sensibility that make Lego so appealing. No slide bars, no stats, simply 'here are some pieces, stick them together how you see fit.'

And it's not just the physical details either - diet, mating, it's all up to you.
But it begs the question - how does something like this end? We're not entirelysure it will - space is purported to be a fully functioning galaxy, not just a one trick pony add-on. So that just leavesus to plan our grand designs in anticipation - and we've got a flashy bunch ofnew screenshots to get inspired.
