I wanted to like this game. I wanted to a lot, but it has a complete lack of content. PERIOD. I completed the game in 2 or 3 days off of work and once I finished the story line I couldn't even tell. I kept doing a few missions waiting for the AI to pop back up and add more. Sadly this didn't happen. There is this illusion of MMO grinding to get the best stuff to continue on but it just that, an illusion. You can complete the entire game before you even have one of the killer ships. Seriously whats the point when all you need is the Barracuda and Mk6 weapons and shields? Final mission is a joke. The militia comes to help you and after some dialog of "Whew, that was tough!" it's over. I never thought I would say that I wish a game had some DLC. However, considering how short the vanilla story was it would need a lot of DLC to be worth grinding for the best ships. The positive reviews can only be explained by players that have played for the first hour or so. To be honest my first few hours of play I was stoked. Then I fell of a continental shelf of pleasure.
