I really don't understand the design of this game. I liked the concept of it enough to buy it (obviously) but when I gave it a try found that it lacked well, a lot. Its not just the fact that this game is in alpha, its that it has an amazingly bad interface and control scheme, bad graphics and sound, and sub-zero immersion factor. Its like this is a ship building tool with a few minor non-ship building features. The ships look and fly like toys. There is no sense of flying a technical marvel of space travel, it just feels like you are taking your cardboard box out for a spin in the driveway. Let me put it this way, if Steam let me try this before buying, I would not have purchased it. My advise to the devs, play a few space games like Freespace, or EVE Online or Privateer or Indepence War or something then take a long hard look at Kinetic Void and make some much needed changes. Frankly I am shocked that anyone can even play this game is its current form. Kudos to you who find something of value in this game but it makes me wonder if any of you have played other space games.
