Evaluation
Rogue System is a one-man project developed by Michael (of Digits Crossed Interactive). The game was in active Early Access development through early 2018, receiving regular feature updates. In 2018, the sole developer suffered a head injury and was unable to continue work. On January 23, 2019, the publisher (Image Space Incorporated) posted an official statement confirming that development is on hold and that Michael had not returned to work on the game. The publisher added a notice directly to the game's Steam store page reiterating this situation. There have been no developer communications, patches, or updates of any kind since that January 2019 post. The game's store description still references planned future content — a full campaign, Extension Modules, and gameplay systems that were never completed — but none of that content has been delivered, and there is no indication development will resume. The game is currently being sold at a reduced price as an unfinished experience in its current state.
Evidence

Publisher added a note to the store page stating development is currently on hold due to the developer's head injury sustained in 2018, and that a purchase is for the experience as it currently stands.

About this game
** Added by publisher: Development is currently on-hold. As detailed in a Steam community forum post in 2018, the one-man development person suffered a head injury and is yet to return to working on Rogue System. Obviously a purchase at this time is for the experience as it currently stands. **
Rogue System's goal is to depict the possibilities of space exploration and combat within a realistic environment--choosing not to ignore the "science" in science-fiction. Key features do/will include proper orbital mechanics for all objects in space; detailed ship system control, functionality, inter-dependency and damage reaction; and the ability to move freely from one ship to another, EVA, and effect repairs while in flight.
Rogue System’s Core Module (CM) will be a complete campaign-driven sim on its own. It utilizes both dynamic as well as scripted missions to allow for greater replay-ability while telling an intriguing story.
Finally, Rogue System is fully moddable, allowing both DCI as well as the sim’s community to add new ships, missions, and even campaigns.
Later, Extension Modules (EM) will add even more gameplay.
