If you think the solar system is already crowded enough, get ready to expand those horizons with Leaving Earth: Stations! This isn't just any expansion; it's the ultimate upgrade for those who want to take manned exploration seriously. While the base game focuses on raw logistics, Stations dives deep into the idea of habitation and survival within the inner solar system. You know that feeling of colonizing a new world? Well, here you'll truly experience it.

The expansion brings a complete overhaul to the map, replacing several planets and moons with new locations filled with local features to explore and exploit. But the real leap is in the complexity of space life: we now have space station modules, including habitats and hydroponics systems, essential for keeping the crew alive out there. Additionally, the mission pool grows considerably, introducing long-term habitation objectives that require much more detailed and strategic planning.

To streamline transport logistics, the expansion introduces the Space Shuttle as a reusable launch vehicle, changing the dynamic of how you manage your routes and resources. It's a game for those who love the realism of space exploration and want to see the solar system transform into a true hub of human activity. If you've already mastered the base game and want more depth, more survival challenges, and an even more immersive simulation experience, Stations is your next mandatory destination!
