Early Access Review
Pros:
-Large expansive worlds
-Interesting ship balancing mechanic

cons:
-UI needs work
-Stupid AI
-No tooltips

I think this game has potential but it still needs a lot of work. Currently in version .61 there's really no direction or story for you to follow, it's all do whatever you want mission or mining or w/e. Ship AI are kind of stupid, no evasion just charge at you then run away till a certain distance then u-turn and repeat charge. Would like to see more improvement on the UI especially regarding the active missions like some what to automatically plot the course to your objective rather than manually finding it which gets very tedious. Also would at least like to see how many credit I have when i'm trying to buy stuff on stations. Have to leave the station to see it -_-.

Why is there no strafe or some rapid emergency left/right boost dodge. Havn't used the launchers much at all after the tutorial as it's kinda useless and pointless with stupid AI. Money is easy to get and it didn't take more than an hour or two to get enough for a higher spec ship. Trading seems tedious with the hard to read ui. Really not sure why there's a CD on the lightspeed jumps as you literally spend an entire minute staring at the screen waiting for it to be over so you can move on which gets worse if you have to do several jumps. There's very little interaction between your ship and the world outside of missions. Rare to see any random event if at all any ships.

In the end I would say this game is worth a try, but for the price tag might want to wait till it's more polished or reaches version 1.0 release.
