I kept waiting for the fun fucking part of this game and quit right after by Fortinbras 01/01/2008, 4:36pm PST
...the point where you finally get a fucking Capsule Drive to fly out of the starting system. The entire first act you're stuck with a shitty tugboat ship in a single system with crap weapons. Sitting around and shooting up cargo ships coming out of a jumppoint bored me to tears because you rarely ever got what you needed to get a badass plasma-spewing machine gun (which only came with 200 rounds and if it ran out mid-mission you were FUCKED), and the realistic physics engine was pure sodomy. Getting the two little mini-ships crewed by Bitch 1 and Bitch 2 helped things for a couple of missions, but there were still weird instances where I was supposed to do shit like push a crate full of munitions into a 360 degree firing turret to kill it or do things the hard way and just try and blow it up with my guns (which worked after 75 reloads..still a better use of my time than trying to fling a fucking crate at a turret and missing wildly every time)

The last straw was where I was so desperate for a new fucking ship that didn't look like a piece of shit and had more than two hardpoints that I looked up the mission string that gives it to you on GameFAQs. It was a blockade run and was absolutely unbeatable with my piece of crap tug.
