Ship combat is not enjoyable whatsoever. Any space battle is a slog where the NPC out maneuvers you, aimbots you, and heals their shield within a second of you not shooting at them. Add the fact that flying spaceships is already very sluggish and unprecise, the experience is left unenjoyable- especially when there are multiple enemies. The only way to ensure success is to carry pretty much every item you could need to recharge your shields and of course hold down the 's' key so you can actually hit something. The 's' key gives the player their own aimbot- its much worse slower than the NPC's and is much less accurate. I understand the game expects me to max out my ship and simply out dmg everyone, but that is not a fun experience. I'd like to see space combat be more comparable to the StarFox games. A very Arcady playstyle which would be perfect for this casual game. It would be a major improvement over the 'gameplay' we have now.
