I have over 1000 hours, I'll make this as short as I can.

BUYER BEWARE BRING A POWERFUL CPU OR YOUR SYSTEM WILL BOG.

The Good:
Modding is easy, Concept, Combat, Building, Crafting Ships, Resource management. Everything except one this is bad.

THE BAD:
MASSIVE late game performance issues that shouldn't happen. Your CPU is going to overload as soon as you make a fleet of ships. The problem is the CPU/Game keeps track of everything, (and I mean EVERYTHING) exact position and condition. For some ungodly reason this system bogs down everything and time compression crawls. If you have a total crew of 200+ between multiple ships expect the game to be completely unplayable. If you look at the drone systems in Factorio for instance you can have 10000+ of those running on the screen and then start to see some lag. Cosmo gets bogged down right before the crest of the hill of the game in my opinion. It takes you right up until things get good and then drops a hammer on your adventure by completely misusing cpu resources.

Whats worse is the devs are doing paint upgrades. WHY!? when you have such a glaring issue in front of you. It's right there. No offense. I have a massive amount of respect for developers and these types of games or I wouldn't place a review. But the team is missing the mark. Either address the issue or a great number of players are not going to have access to the game based on computer power. This is such a promising game. So many amazing systems and promise to have great additions and expansions. I could seriously see myself playing this game for decades. FIX the CPU issue or this will not get better.

10/10

This game is challenging and can be tough at times, however it can be fun to design and paint fun ships and watch them clash with other designs. Overall I had a great time playing it and would highly recommend. (9/10)
