UPDATE September 2016:

The game's development is basically abandoned at this point. A recent Kickstarter update has the developer claim he "lost all his code on launch day" and then took a break to stop being depressed about it for months. Following on from that, he also takes a dump on people wanting refunds and calls people posting on the Steam forums "fake Gamers". The line "Have fun, vandalize the forums, I do not give a ♥♥♥♥" makes his attitude unmistakably clear.

I'd also like to point out that, while FleetCOMM is a commercial product being sold on Steam and Kickstarted, to the developer it is nothing more than a hobby ("FleetCOMM is where I have fun") and will only be worked on when he feels like it, if at all.

Avoid this clusterfrak.

---------------

It is utter garbage made by a megalomaniacal asshat. Just stay away for sanity's sake. Heck, even the menu design is terrible.

The first chapter missions are not available to play yet, either. It literally is unfinished while the developer laughs about and bans people asking from the forum. The incomplete state would be one thing if it was sold as an Early Access title, but it isn't. It is a full release that has the bulk of its content arbitrarily gated depending on the whims of the developer.

Performance is all over the place, and the game speed seems to be tied to the framerate. One moment you might have 120fps, the next 75, or 60, or even down to 20, all while your GPU spins its fan louder and louder. The framerate also inexplicably drops when you open up the Esc menu. Cool to see 10fps on a static screen.

The developer is clearly taking the piss. Avoid.
