I specifically bought this game on this account to play multiplayer, but I've played it singleplayer before. I very much enjoy the singleplayer, but holy shit the multiplayer is unplayable. - Desync every turn. If combat between ships ever causes a ship to die, the host needs to reload the session or ghost ships will be left lying around. - Sometimes, the turn can't end. This requires each player to leave and the host to rehost the server. - Delay on every action, DESPITE constantly having desyncs. You'd think the desyncs would be caused by the game updating your client before it contacts the other player, but everything has a delay on top of that which would imply that it's talking to the host first??? We specifically played on fast to see if we could finish a game, but around turn 70 we were having to restart the session and game multiple times per turn. Absurd.
