the game overall is good but later of the game, mostly late game. I usually build large ship but the range of gun did not scale up with the size of the ship. It feel like i controlling a giant but have tiny pee pee.

> think of something nice ship hullform > components can't fit > not feasible in fights against AI > brick it is the sad part, we can't modify weapons trait (rate of fire, range, etc). melt down update gave someway to alter weapon trait a bit, not much but a very specific package. no way to improve ranges or accuracy. the first 2-3 hours is fun, but late game kinda lifeless with all the quest gone and we can't live by mining or trading only.

The mechanics are incredible, and fighting is satisfying, but the world itself is boring. Building the ship is complex and the larger the ship, the harder and more satisfying it becomes to optimize. The game is still early access but the developers seem to be only focused on the ship building aspect of the game, and it's a shame if the decide not further work on the world. 10/10 for the ship building and fighting 4/10 for the world

I enjoy the game, but the biggest hurdle is variety. The way you build your ships are basically going to be the same. You need flak, you need shields, you need lasers, and you need ballistic weapons. There's not really a reason to specialize unless you have multiple ships, but even then they ALSO need the above to really work in combat. Also, combat is kind of janky. You can control individual ships in your fleet, but there's rarely a reason to until you get to the harder fights. The enemies and your ships just kind of do a dance while shooting at once another without any strategy involved. I think you can target certain systems with your emp weapons, or your missiles but every time I try my entire arsenal just focuses on that specific ship section. Trying to have a fighter squadron just isn't viable ether since the only way to do it is to manually fly the ship and that is a bit... unwieldy imo. Also there's no carriers, so every ship you build WILL BE a battleship, capital, or destroyer. No sorties or screening really. Just very rudimentary combat. The career mode is pretty lackluster too. Just do basic procurement and attack missions until there are no more missions in the area, then move on to the next system. There is a faction system but it's kind of meh. So that's a lot of negatives, so let's look at the positives: I enjoy the progression a lot. Your ship and fleet size scales with how many missions you've done, and what your reputation is. As such there's a clear goal to achieve. I love the physics, and how asteroids can be broken apart to provide an "arena" for you to fight in to defeat some of the harder pirates. The ship builder is a lot of fun, and it reminds me of Rimworld crossed with Factorio. The music is a bop. I love the art style and how you can tell at a glance which enemy ships are going to be annoying to deal with so you can counter them.

Fantastic game and the best, most physics-realistic and yet fun ship builder of all the many ship-building games I've played. Yet I can only give it a 7 out of 10 at the moment for one IMO bad decision from the dev. There is currently no purpose to the experience except building and fighting. There is a galaxy with different factions having control of regions with no way for you to influence this. No overarching story or goal to work towards. Its just sandbox fighting. Once I worked my way up to a ship able to take on the highest lvl enemy there was nothing new to do and I am now waiting on Phase 6 for Career Mode 2.0 to be developed. But we are only on Phase 3 after 4 years. I believe having a Career Mode with a story goal and the ability to fight for a faction and influence the galaxy should have been one of the first things implemented to give us emotional attachment to all of our actions and successes. WITH that included I have no reservations rating this 10 out of 10.
