50 hours to learn, 3000 hours and an estradiol prescription to master. 10/10, would play again

This is the best real time tactical simulation I've ever played. Having worked in the defense industry, it's really clear this game has been developed to be based on real life mechanics projected into a sci-fi world. Details like angling your ship to effectively increase your armor thickness, to using ECM screens, to ECCM tactics like target painters, and the incredibly in depth missile creation system which makes you really think about how to mix seeker types to defeat soft kill (things like chaff, flares, jamming, and the like). Even scouting and information denial is a really important part of each match: the one I tend to focus the most on as a matter of fact. This game is incredibly in depth to say the least. The multiplayer community around Nebulous is small but dedicated. It's almost a necessity to join the Discord, as the meta for Nebulous is pretty well-defined. In fact, this is my biggest complaint about the game: there are a handful of players that have been playing for a couple years, that all know each other, and have long saved optimized ship configurations, missiles, anti-missile missiles, and etc. Although the community is very welcoming to new players, it's extremely punishing to those that don't know what they're doing. The game desperately needs matchmaking, but the community is simply too small to support it. There's no appreciable single player beyond skirmish matches, which will very quickly get boring because the AI is really dumb. Besides the learning curve and the multiplayer necessity, Nebulous is top notch. I probably spend more time in the fleet editor than I do actual matches. It's that in depth!

This game has indeed been taken over in the multiplayer scene by sweat-lords who, as another reviewer put it, "squeeze and optimize the fun out of everything". And, on top of that, there is no apparent additional content other than carriers to the game for the foreseeable future, meaning the aforementioned rotted multiplayer is some people's only thing to do in this game. However, I believe this game still deserves a positive review simply because of how fun it inevitably still is. Modding is active and plentiful, AI battles are simple but engaging, and custom rule-regulated matches with friends are still entirely an option. Personally, there isn't a single other game out there where I can construct my own modded Thanatos Class battleship from Halo to single-handedly obliterate anything it touches, or see how far I can make it against a swarm of AI frigates. If your only joy comes from playing against matches with a 3k pt optimized fleet then this game probably isn't for you right now, but discrediting the entire experience when it still has plenty to offer is neglecting the majority chunk of it.

It's a great The Expanse spaceship simulator-game but it needs single player content, I'm not here for the pvp.

I've only played a couple hours lost like 30 battles and only won 4 but man is this game fun. This is not an easy game to play or learn you will lose 100%. But if you have patience you will learn how much fun this game is. But before you decide to buy this game though be prepared to struggle, be prepared to curse at your PC. But you will have a lot of fun playing. You can even build your own factions. I've built the MCRN and I am in the process of building the OPA and UNN factions. One thing though if i do move to fast the game freezes, this needs to be fixed. So for those that decide to proceed and dare to play I leave you with this: This is your ship. This is your moment. You may think that you are scared. But you are not. That is your sharpness. That’s your power. We are Belters. Nothing in the world is foreign to us. The place we go is the place we belong. This is no different. No one has more right to this. None more prepared. Inulada go through the ring. Call it there own. But a Belter opened it. We are The Belt. We are strong. We are sharp and we don’t feel fear. This moment belongs to us. For Beltalowada! - Camina Drummer
