StarDrive 2

I have played for over 500 hundred hours. This game is ♥♥♥♥ dont buy it. Game is buggy and have a ♥♥♥♥ ton of anti player mechanics design to slow you down and ♥♥♥♥ you over. Why do the master fleets only target the player? Why do enemy races suddenly ally themselves to each other when the player is winning? All "random" events just ♥♥♥♥ you over. All "diplomacy" ♥♥♥♥♥ you over. You think your winning? A master fleet spawns on the opposite of your empire and blows up everything causing you to lose money like crazy and your ships abandoning you or joining enemy empires. Ai has no range limit like the player who is limited by fuel. Think your system is safe far from the front lines? Ai suddenly appears with a giant ass fleet ready to ♥♥♥♥ you over. The ai cannot run out of money and can produce huge fleets with no economy. If they are near broke they are gifted 100 gold+ per turn. The ai empires cannot have their planets starved to death like yours can. If you go over the command points cap you lose hundreds of gold per turn. The ai doesnt care about the cp cap because they dont lose money from going over their cap. ♥♥♥♥ this game and ♥♥♥♥ the greedy ass abandonware creator. 4x games means explore, expand, exploit, exterminate. This game is just fighting all the damn time. Their is no breathing room and everything is tense all the time. All the ai act the same they all want the player to lose thats it. Their only goal is to make the player lose. They dont act to preserve themselves or accomplish their own goals they only act to counter the player. This game has so many bugs it totaly ruins immersion. The war cabal bug forcing you into a complete genocidal war that will drag the rest of the galaxy to fight against the "winning" player. If you dont accept the cabal's demand to declare war they will spawn a buggy fleet that will stop all production on all your planets until they are defeated. If you declare war and propose peace later the cabal war fleet will spawn causing the bug. The cabal war fleet does not actually spawn where your ships can reach it so the game ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Your citizens will never produce anything again. Ship movement bug = sometimes ships will randomly stop moving and then cannot ever move again. You cant disband them because they need to fly to planet to be disbanded. They just sit there eating up precious command points costing you tons of money. The ship refit bug = when refiting ships the ships cannot actually be completed and just sit there so the planet does nothing. Diplomacy is awful. The ai will never agree to anything unless they can make you go over your tolerance level. When you go over your tolerance level your citizens become upset and refuse to work until the tolerance levels lowers which takes 20+ turns. 20+ turns of your citizens refusing to work or produce anything. Everything in this game is design to slow you down and tie your hands. Also what the hell is with the planet generation of this game. Also a majority of the planets are ♥♥♥♥. Most of them are tiny, ultrapoor, asteroids, useless gas giants or just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ empty useless star system. Give us some damn decent planets to work with. Its like playing chess and your only given 1/4 quarter of the starting pieces. Its no fun. A game is no fun when you have no choices or options. This game feels like it is the player versus the developer not varied unique alien empires. Also what the hell is with the stupid empire expansion debuff to your science? if your empire is larger and more powerful it should be able to naturally support more scientists and output more science not less. You can never get ahead everything is designed to pull you back down. Its fun at first the battles and ship design is perfection. Everything else is ♥♥♥♥. Sell this ip to someone else and let them finish this game or release the codes to modders.
