Great game, I got to know it already on version 2.05_010c.
Due to the large number of locations in such games the hard task is to fill and variation (as examples bright past, the lewd knight, pizza hot, the more places on the map, the more events (including repetitive)).
SJX is really addictive and has a good plot, which I think still has more to fill.
The fantasy itself throws in expansions of Krell's influence on all systems (after all, they were already able to come to an agreement with Iltari). Expansion of features on Xenos, Quthor, NX010 (each station could have different features and bar for example).
I would like to see interaction with Galaxina on the ship, after all we get the most interesting sexbot and so far we can only direct her to arcade. Quality control for all shells (alas a bit inconvenient to shoot some shells first before QC).
More development with ship members, I think Vee still has something to teach T'Ris, development with Ylyee. Additional training with Krell also comes to mind, perhaps a joint pet walk for the whole crew in the future. A chariot for the captain, harnessed by Nimhe and Seraphine.
Characters are also all interesting and maybe there will be additional interaction with them (Grand archivar, concubine Krogneath for example).
All these thoughts to the judgment of the developer, the game is very good.
And I hope there will be a version 3.0, and maybe even higher, because to disband such a great space team is very sad.
Thank you y.v. and may the force be with you.

Yes there is.
Open your in-game PDA (P key). In this menu there are 3 Tabs at the top to choose from. The middle one is Gallery.
Most of it is the images from Events. The ones with Golden Yellow Stars on them, are the animated scenes.
example:
I've opened the entire gallery, but in doing so I'm left with a couple questions:
1. How do I fix the slab in cargo bay (wall segment)?
2. How to get access to heavenly bodies?

1. use the scanner on it... it's nothing you can repair, but it sheds some light on why the ship is special.
2. Currently you can't... wether this will change is unclear, but the fact that it has a location marker on the map does indicate heavily
Meta commentary on game making: SJ-X is one of those games that successfully managed to use game systems, instead of story paths, to make something that seems a LOT bigger, more engaging, and more complex than it actually is...
Systems, as in, here, a set of stats that you need to reach to do anything, and you have a lot of freedom on how (well, not really how... which order of actions...) you happen to reach them.
More than it actually is, because all that freedom is an illusion: all the story paths are on rails, albeit on stats-related rails, that you can achieve in any order you choose, but with very little freedom in how you do so.
And that my friends is game design genius: giving players the illusion of agency, but with none, really, because the actual story is entirely on rails, and all the complexity (i.e. development effort work) is well managed.
Oh no, that's not a criticism, I loved playing this. But I also know when I, the player, am being played, and this is exactly what good game design is.
That there is no freedom is nothing new, since everything is pre-established by someone. For freedom to be real, it will take years until the AI is capable of making the game in real time, not to mention the resources that would be needed.
And yes, AI will dominate us at some point XD
By the way, this is just my point of view. I don't want to criticize your comment at any time.
EDIT
Small Heads Up:
Public version 2.10 release on Friday 16th.
Still about to integrate some patches in the course of the week

If you make a game with elements of randomness, and plenty of systems, you will definitely have "freedom" of the player to create a new story every playthrough, without involving any AI... but you will not see neat "storylines" emerging out of this unless you have handcrafted these in on top of the base game. There is a lot you can do in games like Skyrim or Stellaris without interacting with a single questline. Making sure that actually works properly is of course a lot of testing and debugging, something that is smart for a small dev team to not get bogged into.

Skyrim, same as its predacessors Oblivion and Morrowind, had both a very good storyline and great freedom where you can craft your own stories, but it required a huge amount of expertly handcrafted content, similar to liniar game, on top of all the big openworld and randomized content - they appeal to both groups by doing both - which meant double the work.
Titan Quest is a Diablo clone type game that is very linear with its content, its quest are the exact same, and so are all the maps, if you play a warrior, and then go and play a hunter or elementalist or rogue or any other class, it will be same maps and quests, but both your character and playing will be different and the enemies will still be as interesting, and loot, randomized as usual in such games - so its still fun. And that is because the linear stuff is handcrafted with quality.
THATS what we see in this game - quality.

The problem is that even if it gives you the false sensation that it is random, it is not really since the parameters have been set by the developers, so it is not random, it is just a golden cage like Skyrim for example, you have no freedom whatsoever, just a false impression since you cannot change any of the stories, only follow one of the paths that are given to you, for example in the Skyrim civil war there are only two sides, wouldn't it be interesting to take control of all of Skyrim and become emperor, but no, you can only choose the layers of the storm or the empire, not to mention that the story is not even well finished since the camps remain active after finishing but that is another topic XD
There are still 3 days of waiting left, but it will be interesting to see what you have prepared for us, you always surprise us with good content and fun art.

Precursor or the system map from the first task?
Precursor - Clear the junkyard area 3 times
Navigation map - Go to the Bar at 1800 or later to talk to the new character
You use it just like you would when you are using the wrench to fix issues around the ship.
Click on the bottle in your inventory. Click on the bottle in the bottom right of the screen and then click on the cargo terminal.
On the face of it that argument is a bit specious, IMO: it's like saying you have no freedom as an individual because the parameters of your life have been set by the laws of physics. And sure, there are philosophers who

, but if you are going to accept that free will exists at all, then the fact that you are evolving within a set of rules doesn't negate it.Note that I specifically excluded from my example the quests-on-rails that many of those games add on top of their world systems. In Skyrim, you can totally live the life of a normal Iron Age person, doing a job, hunting and making tools for a living, with many different outcomes and playstyles, without touching a single quest. There is even a "no hero" mod that makes this the whole experience... The argument is even more flagrant in Stellaris or Endless Space, where the base game comes with nary a quest (or event chains, as they call them), and you only get those from DLCs.
Likewise in SJ-X, you could totally ignore the quests (or perhaps only do those that grant access to new locations), and just live the life of a greedy trader only in for the credits, or a pirate in only for the loot. Which would be respectively two other actual games that are available on Steam, and probably fun in their own right, if maybe a bit thin.
