endless-sky VS mpevmvp

Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point!

There's an open source successor to Escape Velocity that's fun and continues to grow:

#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game.

Well I did build this: https://github.com/eamonnmr/mpevmvp which leans more towards EV than endless sky. Not that it's caught any attention.

I tried to play this but I think i'm doing something wrong? went to here, downloaded everything including the pck file (windows user), launched up a game hosted a server 26000 (allowed all connections through firewall), launched up a 2nd instance of the game, successfully joined the server but all I see is stars. Am I jumping the gun on being able to play this or am I doing something wrong here?

Multiplayer EV clone: https://github.com/eamonnmr/mpevmvp

Started out as sort of an experiment in 'can you do multiple levels with godot's high level multiplayer API' and the answer turned out to be yes. On the way I ended up finding that loading data via CSV was a pain point so I spun out a project to load CSV rows into classes... All the work I did at work with a Python ETL framework is probably showing through there.
