Poked around this for an evening. Zero dependency claim actually checks out, no console errors, no CDN calls hanging when I throttled the network in devtools. Procedural galaxy generation is the part I care about since that's usually where these tribute projects fall over silently and give you an empty starfield. Didn't hit that here in my playthrough. Diplomacy dialogue felt a bit stiff but functional. Wouldn't mind seeing how it handles a corrupted save state though.
