i have no idea what they have decided to do (I presume you can still play it without the upgraded account?). Just noticed that they now have a 'Buy' button ($6) to upgrade accounts. Our soft-body physics engine models every vehicle component in real-time.

It takes a long time to get used to the game, but it's very fun and addictive (I suggest you play single player first, then try and get some friends to play on a relatively empty server with you, THEN go on a large server where people are more hostile ). BeamNG.drive is a remarkably realistic driving game with virtually endless options. Once the required files have been downloaded, the mod must be installed. Also things like mining lasers (Though shops only take what they need/can store), gravity blocks (For docking on capital ship) and a bunch of other shiz. The mod can be downloaded from the official BeamMP website.

Also, it's toaster friendly (Though you will need preferably 8gb RAM so that when you discover new sectors you don't hit mem limits). Completely free, updates all the time, fully working economy, procedural planets than can be landed on/mined, infinite sector system for entire solar systems, AI that have bases and actually pose a threat, multiplayer, basically minecraft in space, loads of weapons and custom configurations (Shields, cloak, different missiles, assign groups to keys, if the weapons computer gets shot, the weapons set to that computer stop working etc).
