Yeah, so, failure to babysit the db node that was scheduled for a reboot on the 5th resulted in a bit of database FUBAR that left us temporarily losing everything from then to now. Fortunately we had a backup less than six hours old, restored from it, and appear to be copacetic now. Except for the missing five hours and change.
I'd usually make some sort of dumb joke here but it was already four hours past my bedtime when I found out about the problem. My brain is no work good anymore. Fill in whatever dad joke or snark about getting a do-over for a change strikes your fancy.

I don't seem to recall the actual adventure part of the gameplay. Just the space battles. Maybe I only played Urquan Masters? Beats me, all I remember doing were the skirmishes. I liked the Earth Vessel, whatever it was called. (Earthling Cruiser according to duckduckgo-fu.) Though, I seem to recall enjoying using this bad boy: "Ur-Quan Dreadnought".
I do remember playing Starflight a good bit, but I think it was on a console? Ah, yeah, I played this one a good bit: https://www.ign.com/games/starflight [ign.com]
Though, I think I eventually found it on PC, it was so out-dated, I wasn't terribly interested. Also, had already played that sucker a ton on Sega Genesis.
Space Engineers is a really awesome game too, but it doesn't have much in the way of NPCs. Also, very little in the way of storyline and pretty much nothing with regards to having a space encounter with dialogue. https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/ [spaceengineersgame.com] Still, it's #4 on my games with most play time on Steam. Below Dungeon Defenders, 7 Days to Die, and Terraria. 3 of those 4 allow you to build a base / home and are sandbox style games. Dungeon Defenders is the exception (also at the #1 spot), but it's an exceptional Tower Defense / First Person / Third Person / Hack'n'Slash'RPG / Shop Keeper Sim / Online Multiplayer / Online Co-Op / Local Co-Op (Sit on the couch.) game.
