Expecting a reboot to be exactly like the originals is a recipe for disappointment. So far the game looks great, sounds great, plays okay, and is good overall for an early access game. The combat is simplistic as of current date. You can position to flank the enemy, and you can give each of your ships a priority target. In summary, it's not the same game but it feels like Orion to me, it's playable in it's current form, and the rest is all hope :D
