this game is a p.o.s. try EVERSPACE 2 and see if I'm wrong.
see for yourself. Case in point, SHIP TO SHIP COMBAT, the ship in general, is trash. Movement is trash, combat is trash, try one dogfight against more than 4 enemies in Everspace 2 and see how fluid it is, how easy to understand and get good at. This game is an incoherent mess by comparison.

Let me give an example. In Everspace 2 there are usually obstacles or COVER you can get behind, that you can fly to, you have shields, armor and hull points three colored bars shield on top, armor in the middle, hull at the bottom.

IN Spacebourne 2? I do not see anything obvious as to where my shields or hullpoints are or if I even have any, it's a secret I guess. You realize you don't have anymore of anything after you blow up.

Like when I was on my way to a Freelancer Mission in the middle of a HYPER JUMP and I get stopped by 4 fighters/pirates. I decide to fight them, easy I figured because every encounter up to this point was pretty easy although it was like fighting a dog fight with one eye closed because there's not much information as to what your ship has in terms of defense points in any area, you don't know if you are taking damage, you don't know squat except to keep on switching those GARBAGE weapons as they overheat every 20 or 30 shots.

I have tried to get into this game but it's just trash. I took out two of those pirate ships, started on a third, I'm shooting at it all damn day long like I did with the other two ships I took out, switching back and forth fired off all 8 of my weak missiles. I keep seeing MISSILE LOCK MISSILE LOCK and the 4th pirate blows up my ship.

Stopped in the middle of a warp to a mission? There is no where to run to, no cover so I guess I'm supposed to have a dialog with these pirates so they can steal what little cash I had at pilot level 6. Another thing, you have three levels in this game. THREE. Dumbashell.

When my ship blew up I was not impressed with the game and the time I had already put in, this was after I had to start the game over with a new character for the third time because my saves were corrupted.

LANDING YOUR SHIP. isn't that fun, isn't that a good time. The zippo lighter flames coming out of the back of the ship, ain't that cool? How about juimping? Or the interface?

This game is like a bad hallucination after you eat the worm in a bottle of Mescal.

I like a few things about the game but it feels like a raggedy Alpha to me. Like a concept game from a PC gaming developer school.

Glad you're having fun in ES2. Maybe post on their boards instead?

Why would I post a bad experience for this game on that game's forums?
That makes no sense. I am frustrated with this game and I can't play it anymore. I have tried to play it but it's like trying to ride a jackass on locoweed at a clown rodeo. I'm done with it.

this game needs some serious quality of life improvements. Across the board. I can't believe I paid for it what I paid. It's not worth more than 10 bucks.

Everspace 2 is a fun game to be sure, but you're stuck solely in small ships and you don't really have a lot you can control. No AI buddies, no crew.

Maybe you just like the arcadey space games more, nothing wrong with that, but ES2 being what it is doesn't make this game worse for being what it is.

Your statements about SB2 are plain wrong, you get to know very well what your shield state is. I stopped reading here, because if you lie on this one, then I can confidently skip the remaining of your story.

And has ES2 any ground combat, any 4x elements like this game, no. Furthermore, it would be surprising if the only main feature ES2 has - space fights - would be bad, but it's just the only one. SB2 instead has a pleiade of features, and...it's EA at its soonest state, there is ample time to fletch-out the game and be even more convincing. ES2, as nice as it is, shows a terribly limited gameplay without planet descents, without ground combat. There are hundreds of such space games, they will soon become meaningless, forgotten in the mass of oldish games. Isn't ES2 on GoG.com already? That's where you are looking for Good Old Games. Even The Precursors, a space game from 2005 is much better than ES2 considered the many features it has.
You cannot compare ES2 to SB2, that's your major flaw. It's half an apple (ES2) vs. apples and oranges (SB2). Needless to say that the winner is SB2 whatever lies you may tell.

Sounds like you had the HUD hidden. The interface is not lacking in all kinds of information - unless your HUD is off. Hit BACKSPACE to restore it.

the dog fighting in this game needs work. to call it clunky, repetitive and boring is a compliment.

Your brain is probably too small to play anything else than brain dead arcade game....

Shield and hull are literally in the middle of the screen and to win fights maybe use your 4 wingmen ?
Anyway, keep pew pew in Everspace 2 too many mechanics in SB 2 for you it seems.

STARPOINT GEMINI, that's what the ship feels like in this game. I was trying to think of a comparison to describe it and that's pretty darn close.
