About Drop Drive, from BoardGameGeek:

Instant Space... Infinite Possibilities! Gather your crew and prepare to explore the vast reaches of infinite space! Your newly installed rocket drive will aid in mining valuable resources from nearby asteroids, while your experimental drop drive will let you jump to distant and unknown depths of space. Orbit strange worlds to sell your cargo, pick up passengers, and collect alien specimens, all while battling unscrupulous pirates hell-bent on profiting off your tireless efforts... ...it's time to drop into infinite space! --- Drop Drive is a lightweight sandbox game for 2-4 players (5 with extra add-on pack), featuring a "drop-style" mechanic that assures no two games could possibly be the same. Drop Drive blends strategy with a novel spatial element that will challenge casual and hardcore gamers alike! THE BIG BANG! At the start of each game, objects of all kinds are dropped onto the table from a height of 4 to 5 inches. This creates a galaxy layout with infinite possibilities. You will then assume the role of an alien starship captain, exploring space, upgrading your ship, mining asteroids for precious resources, and landing on mysterious worlds to sell your cargo, pick up passengers, and collect strange alien specimens! -description from the publisher
