Prosperous Universe is a space economy MMO from the German studio simulogics. You run your own company: set up bases on planets, produce goods, ship them and trade with other people on commodity exchanges. It is about real-time supply chains, not combat.

The economy is entirely player-made: every resource and product has to be mined or built by someone, and prices follow supply and demand. You choose base sites by atmosphere, pressure, temperature, water and minerals. Production runs over real-time hours, so planning matters more than time spent logged in. Everything is handled through APEX, a customisable interface that resembles a trading terminal.

It suits fans of spreadsheets, logistics and markets; others will find little action, and convenience features sit in the paid PRO license. It is in Early Access but still gets regular updates.
