Are there examples of censorship or prior restraint you'd like to highlight?

It's enjoyable, but I've never been really engaged with it. There's no progression, I don't feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I'm upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they're all unique.
I think it would be better if you started out in a "settled" region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.
Yet Trump can declassify documents by thought alone.
Generally it will work on any mortal except dwarves.

Some have stopped working, like SteamLink, but others still work. I know it's just a matter of time.
Mine can because it also has Netflix, Hulu, etc. built in.

The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it's bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.
If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.
