The game fully justified its cost. Active gameplay as a spaceship pilot at the beginning of the game, and almost strategy at the end. I would also like to mention the economy - it is something unique; I have never seen such a powerful economy anywhere.

I would also like to note that the plot is not the strongest aspect of this game, one might even say it is weak.

Of the bugs, there is also something to talk about, but only the most “infuriating” ones are worth mentioning:

lags of AI ships, penetration through textures, and ship captains approaching you directly when you are piloting the ship. I hope they will be fixed soon.

The presence of Russian voice acting is also a huge plus.

The game is not bad in principle, although there are many shortcomings in the gameplay. But the main problem is the seriously inflated system requirements. The quality of the graphics does not reach such a level (unless, of course, you are maniacal with fleets and battles). Of course, my computer is far from top-end, but it’s not very weak either. However, even when the ship maneuvers in asteroid fields, the system noticeably slows down. As soon as you run into a mess in such a field, the game immediately crashes to the desktop and closes. Disorder

It’s impossible to say for sure. The game attracts because you think: what’s new, you need to try it. But when the game has a lot of bugs, it’s impossible to get pleasure. The game is already 4 years old (if not exactly, then that’s how I personally feel), and with With any new update, old bugs are removed, but just as many new ones are added. The developer is like a blind kitten poking in all directions. Only modders save - I can’t even imagine how it’s possible to play without mods. But it’s infuriating when developers make mods with every new update unplayable. Thanks to the majority of modders for updating their mods on time. When the game will be completed to a playable state, it’s impossible to say, probably never. The developer will just get tired and announce the final version. I’ll be very surprised if it’s different.

The game is crude, the beginning is delayed, I play without mods, I’m tired of saving money, but this is not the main thing, I can’t find a lot in the game, for example, where can I buy elements??? the crew had 2 stars each and remained, suddenly the stations stopped buying mining, the mining boats stopped and that’s it, I dragged them to other sectors, there was enough mining for an hour and that’s it... there is a freebie in the form of boats, but it’s so poor, why when when shelling enemies, the following ships do not leave behind, as in x3, and of course, sometimes you end up in textures from which only a reboot helps you get out... You can’t capture xenon ships, and the Khaaks are generally garbage...
