It's a pretty, fun, super arcadey version of Escape Velocity. Everything is stuck on a 2D plane, so it plays out like naval battles with you focusing mainly on spacing (hurrah!).
The only complaints I have are that your warp engines cut out even if you're well clear of an object (which then involves you slowly pulling away to restart your engines) and you're initially told that broadsides are the way to go, but the first area is full of angry little fighters that can only go down to turrets.
I do appreciate that they seem to have done a pretty solid job of making trade worth mixing with bounty runs without completely breaking the economy. You'll still make shit-tons more by trading, but it seems like there's more checks and balances with stock and events.
Also, ramming other ships is encouraged with the right deflector shields. Hurrah! |
