The basis of the gameplay loop of collecting resources to improve your ship and collecting genetic material for improving your crew is not bad. But the implementation of so much leaves much to be desired. The alien infestations can VERY quickly get out of control leading to a complete wipe. The pirate ship invasions feel half-baked with near endless enemies teleporting at random throughout your ship killing everyone; with no real benefit or means to counterattack the enemy ship with your own ship invasion and there is no ship to ship combat. Yet, the loop to collect resources and build and design a ship is pretty fun. But everything in between those moments is so grindy and fraught with annoyances and quick deaths.
