Relaxing
Overall, a very relaxing experience. If you are looking for a hard-core space sim, this is not it. It's easy-going, with a very simple control scheme and straightforward flying. However, its graphics more than make up for this, as it is just a joy to fly around and enjoy the vistas. There is a very solid economy simulation running in the background. It's seemingly simple, but if you care to delve behind the front window, you'll find detailed production lines and the ability to greatly influence it, without messing it up, if you have the resources and inclination to do it. However, earning credits is not that challenging and there's not a whole lot to do with those in the early game. Right away, you can start buying ships and building an automated fleet that will earn money for you. After a while, you can start building your own stations, which will turn you a bigger profit, or assist you in other tasks, like research. Progress in the game is partly blocked behind a simple research game. Essentially, you just earn Research points by exploring, and then you spend them right away to improve your ships, be able to construct different types of stations, or just outright gain new options and abilities for flying. There's a small variety of ships, but it's decent enough. They all are good at one particular role, so while there's not a lot of variety, what you get doesn't feel too weak or too OP. It's good to do the job you want with it. One major drawback is the very limited map size. After a while, there's not really a whole lot to see. There's around 20 sectors to travel around in, and most of them don't really look that different from each other. However, in the little time I've had with this game, I found myself enjoying it. It's calming, it's easy-going, it's something to do to pass the time and have fun while doing it.
