CLUSTER SPACE-GAME-PLAYERS · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-09-15

space trading and combat games

This cluster includes space exploration and trading games as well as one companion tool for sharing in-game market data. Its dated history is too thin to read a shape from, since only 4 dated entries exist before the index start. Traction is led by Endless Sky, Oolite, and E:D Market Connector, each showing 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
