Truly a Fantastic Game very happy I am playing it. 14 yr vet of Eve online to have so many functions like Eve makes me happy and its off line. love it. MIG

It's got potential, but it just feels to hard to access. Fighting the camera controls and having to fight the controls is just too much for me. The UX just needs a big lift in accessability to make me want to play it. I've played so many games which complex controls, like Warhead and Descent, with k+m so it's not a skill issue, although I am significantly older than when I played those game. There's just something missing, an element that's over/under tuned in the camera + movement that makes it too hard for me to enjoy it.

Had this on my wishlist for over a year and it has not disappointed. I will say that it is everything it seems like from the teasers. What you don't see is the time you need to invest to get there. No fast forward, no speed running. You have to put in the work and that is what I wanted. I will say their was a few things at launch that I did not like but the Devs fixed a lot of the complaints before I even has a chance to write this review. Autopilot...Fixed...Targeting....Fixed...Slow Item movements...fixed. I have not even reached the endgame as of yet and I already reworked my fleet to suit my mining/gathering playstyle 3 times. Started building a gate for easier travel and already eyeballing one of those motherships. I do wish the jump resource was renewable in each system to help prevent a softlock when I accidently jumped systems not realizing I would not be able to easily get back. Even if I have to take a few hours of gathering to purchase from a vendor at a ridiculously astronomical price. Overall it is a great game that is still growing and actively being improved by the Devs. 9/10 and I am still finding things that improve my gameplay. (There will most likely be a follow up comment soon where I found a way to get jumpfuel in all systems but I was a dumb-dumb and didn't see it.)

I'm really starting to warm-up to this game, whilst I'd really like to see the story, missions and gameplay expand, the core mechanic has developed nicely, still got some gaps but I really like building my space ship and having fun killing pirates or mission objectives. The ship feels sluggish sometimes, I wish there was ways with mods in tweaking this the engines at least as far as I've tried to use them haven't been as useful. If the ships agility can be improved by mods, I think that would really help longer term as the ship gets large.

Just completed the tutorials just prior to the latest beta update. Re-played the tutorials after the update. I really like the updates. I changed everything to Newtonian physics. There is enough controls to keep one stable if needed (i.e. R / T keys and now the SPACE bar). I like the "F-Key" now working to go back to your craft or station from examining something else. I can see the developers are moving this game ahead and it's going to be great!

Unique and exciting game, slow gameplay but still so rewarding to progress. A bit unoptimized and some crashed but thats to be expected. If and when they implement multiplayer it going to skyrocket. Great game.

Leaving a positive review in hopes that the devs will keep working on this game. I enjoy the core of the game and can see great potential in it, but, this being an early access game, it is full of game breaking bugs and the campaign structure as well as the learning experience still need some work
