Here one of my experience playing this game: 1. Explore a lifeless ship. End up losing a crew member. (F***) 2. Encounter an enemy ship that nearly sunk my ship. (*U**) 3. Found a trade station, but can't hire anyone because money was used up to fix the ship. (**C*) 4. Encounter another enemy ship that hack my pilot cockpit. (***K) 5. My ship can't evade any incoming hits. (......) 6. My ship blows up. The End. (F**KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK) This game is filled with lots of bad game designs that diminish player winning chance. Especially by randomization. I would describe this game as: rolling a 6-face dice, anything besides 6, you lose. Even so, I regard this game has less than 16-17% winning chance.
