This seemed like the right crowd  :P

I have good things to say about reassembly, and have heard decent things about starmade. Not sure on the rest.

YES, saw that these games were based around the theme of space and I checked to see if interplanetary was there and it is. Then I realized that I dont have access to steam for another week so I wont be able to get it :'(.

You don't have to have access to steam to get them though. You just need an ability to buy online things and email access, you'll get a humble bundle key page like every other thing they do. Later when you have access to steam, use the keys.

Got it already. I'm curious about Reassembly, the describtion looks already interesting.
I was also mainly interested in Steam Marines and Edge of Space.

Can somone who got this bundle tell me how Reassembly works? The control of the ship is really painful and the tutorial gives you only basic orders but does not tell you cirectly what does what.
I get the basic concept that you have to collect resources and can either sell them for credits (which are required for new parts) or save them so your home station builds new ships that auto collect resources and battle enemy ships.
However, how can I select another ship? What do the stats do and how do the different parts work?
What is the greater goal in the game? It seems I can expand if I build new stations at special points but besides that it look's I have nothing to do.

I got the bundle with Reassembly and can try to explain.

The best part for me is getting enough credits to design/build new ships. Hit 'u' or one of the other hotkeys to open up your information panel. The tabs at the top will explain mainly what they do. You can unlock new components or increase your maximum ship size in the upgrade panel. If you select an empty block in the fleet panel it will open up a new design from scratch and you can make your own ship! Ship control is WASD and mouse for aiming. Add more engines on all sides if you want to go faster. You can get fixed direction weapons or turrets depending on what you like better or find easier.

So far I have played with the first two factions you can unlock when you start a new game, and they get different parts. The game is a sandbox, so with the first faction I was just trying to take over as many stations as I could but I was getting owned by enemies. With the second faction you have a module that can seed r, so you can make your own r to c economy and this attracted a huge harvesting fleet from my faction (like 50 friendly ships on one screen).

I hope that helped, others with more experience might have different advice...
