The contrary opinion
The good: the music, the cutesy graphics, the beep-boop sounds. The bad: One of the worst designed games I have ever seen. Every single session without exception will converge on one particular loadout and set of tactics. To the extent you aren't using that loadout it's because you just haven't gotten the equipment or upgrades yet. It doesn't matter what unusual ship you start with; you always want to converge on the optimum as fast as you can. For example, if you start with the Rock ship - a missile-focused ship - you can't just keep using missiles, because you use them about twice as fast as you find new ones, so if you don't swap out for normal weapons fairly quickly you end up dead in space with no more ammo. Similar issues apply to all the other alternate loadouts: they're cute ideas but don't balance against the optimum. Random encounter details don't matter; you want to fight, because fighting gives you more scrap and you need scrap to get all good upgrades. So it totally doesn't matter what the specifics of any encounter are; jump in, click through text, fight. And every fight plays out the exact same way. If there were alternative viable tactics against different ships that would help, but no: every single fight is the same, just with a scaling difficulty in terms of enemy power. Game becomes EXTREMELY repetititve. The end of the game reinforces this problem. You simply cannot beat the boss ship without using the optimal loadout. There are no alternate tactics or approaches to it. A comparatively minor but still annoying problem is the plotline (warning, minor spoilers): having desperately spent however-many spacejumps staying barely ahead of the enemy, your beat-up scout ship finally reaches a friendly naval base, who then informs that not only must said beat-up scout ship take on the most powerful ship in the galaxy, but the navy for which you've been busting your butt is going to refuse to help you in any meaningful sense whatsoever.
