I had a lot of fun with this game back on the Xbox 360, and was really excited to see it here. This game has one ship you can upgrade in all sorts of different ways, and you can make progress in the story in just as many ways to. You can shoot asteroids to mine them, spec into becoming an interstellar freighter, hunt down pirates, become a pirate, automate away the fighting bit if you invest in turrets, go all-in on customizing your ship's capabilities for a certain playstyle... All sorts of things. Sadly, I am one of the people who gets a consistent crash when FTL jumping between systems, so I can only play the tutorial on this version. It's a known bug that's never been properly fixed, and seems to stem from a change in DirectX that happened at some point. Console versions still work, but weather even compatibility mode can help you with a PC release is a roll of the die.
