Terrible game balance

Started the game. Did the first two story kind of missions, which I assume were part of tutorial. Went great. After that, tried to do regular missions. Took "low risk" pirate hunting missions. Got completely slaughtered. OK, maybe I need to do something different at frist. Took a "low risk" delivery mission. That mission took me to a station surrounded by enemy capital ships, uncounted numbers of fighters, loads of missiles being launched. Best I could do was boost out of there with a huge repair bill. Kept trying. Didn't just give up. Some missions it was downright impossible to escape the overwhemling enemies from the low risk missions. Sorry to all those who figured out the game's secret, but a game this unfriendly to new players is made by ametures or people who simply don't know how to make good games. And I don't want to hear "Oh it's an indie dev crew of 1-3 people" excuse. I've played many indie games with far better game balance than this that were made by 1-3 person(s).

Typical arrogant game design nightmare

Like most games nowadays, no less indie games modelled on AAA-classics, this game immediately gives you loads of things you should do or consider in the form of barebones text descriptions or remarks about trade and stuff (including location names without ever having been anymore), without explaining how anything works (aside from giving the message to use hyperdrive every once in a while), or giving any motivation to do anything. Accordingly, one jumps from one place to another, all exactly identical, keeps pressing some standard buttons for shooting and tracking, fighting pointless fights, without knowing why or really how to do it slightly better, occasionally running into other NPCs relaying barebones text messages about joining this for a fee or taking on this pointless, identical mission. This kind of lazy design disaster is usually excused nowadays by an arrogance about games being some kind of work- or life-substitute, where one does nothing willingly or with enjoyment, but for feeling good about oneself about doing it at all, and despite of or because it is not understandable and has nothing enjoyable about it.

Buggy

Yeah, what can I say, just played this Game for a few Minutes and it crushed to times. It crushed the entire PC that nothing works anymore. Than the Handling of this game is like a bad joke. You can't even save in a proper way! The game saves automatic, when docking on a station, fine. But it also saves every time when you live the game and because there is only one saveslot your progress alwys gets overwritten, if you like it or not. My opinion not playable.

Grindfest in space

I'll start with what I liked: Graphics of the space sections and ships and the sound design. Sound design does NOT include the music which I turned off after and hour. The rebel country music rock is super annoying as it replays constantly. Right. Everything else then. People who like the grind of Chore->Money->New Gear->Chore->Money->New Gear will be in heaven here. That's all there is to the game. Nothing else. There isn't any background or context to anything. At all! Every single mission is the exactly the Same. Start at A, go to B, kill C and return to A. It's lazy as hell. Avoid if you don't want to waste your time. If grinding for hours to get slightly better gear appeals to you, then go right ahead.
