Hello, I wanted to say that this game is fully playable solo! It's a bit more challenging, but there is a ship type called The Lone Sentry which is meant and designed for solo play. I just posted more in depth stuff regarding playing solo on another thread called "How is Void Crew for Solo Play? Is it Worth it Alone?" which is currently the most recent thread. The TLDR; of it is that you should go a slightly weird hybrid character of multiple classes and you're able to make up for the lack of other players, and it will be getting significantly improved on the games full launch on November 25th. I recommend giving it a try, but if you're on the fence about it, maybe wait until after the full release and see if anyone on YouTube posts a good solo gameplay video to give you a better idea of it.

Thank you for trying to re-leave my concerns, but i certainly don't want to be limited to one ship, especially one i may not like. additionally games that are geared for co-op are geared for people, not person. so the difficulty for one spikes way up, and that too im not interested in. if i found out there's a solo mode. or maybe one with bots ect maybe ide revisit.

There are only 2 ships, they just do different things.

And they've announced the game is being made more solo friendly also.

Update. got the game to give it a try. its exactly what i feared. the ship you can play solo is the sad crappy one. cant use the cool one. Was completely unable to complete even a single mission. barely into it when some big bad randomly warps in and slaughters me, with the AI telling me to leave the mission.... the mission i just started... why would i leave? happens both times i tried. lots of deal breakers here. 1) looks like infinite enemies. Thats never ok. 2) time limits. Spend every day working againced the clock. ya i totally wana come home just to do that in a video game. Time limits are never good. 3) unkillable enemies that you have to run from. I don't run from battle.

Any one of these would mean i tell people its not worth playing.

The other ship is just bigger. it had its drawbacks, especially if you are undercrewed. Playing as the engineer of my team I regularly wished I was on the smaller ship just because of how often I needed to run between the sections of the ship.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the game! I personally prefer the smaller ship because the bigger ship is slower and easier to hit, and if you complete the missions quickly enough the enemies are usually manageable. However, if you don't like time limits, I don't think this game is for you as they are a big part of it. I understand the pain of going from work where you're constantly on the clock and feeling rushed and how a game making you feel the same way is far from relaxing because of that. The difficulty does scale down depending on how many players you have, and it gets a lot easier the more you play because you're able to figure out the strategies and ways to complete each mission really quickly, but the time limits are pretty integral and they seem to be one of the biggest deal breakers for you. I hope you're able to have a great rest of your day, I'm sorry my advice didn't help you out.

Thanks. Definitely a disappointment. But while its certainly not for the same reasons, if modern games have taught us anything its how to live with disappointments.
