Fun Space fight/RTS. Lots of potential, think Mount and blade in Space

This is an amazing mixed-style space game. It has 1st person, 3rd person, and high-level fleet control mechanics. The AI pilots are actually really good at pulling their own weight. I also love that I can play this either actively flying a ship, or just passively moving ships around if I'm distracted by other things. For anyone who remembers it, this is THE spiritual successor of "Wing Commander Armada" (old DOS game). It has many of the same elements, and even some of the ship designs are a bit nostalgic.

A very good mix of a space strategy games like Homeworld with direct control of the ship games of the ships like in Eve Online, with very enjoyable progression and missions. Waiting for further expansions to add more higher class ships like cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships and carriers, also more zones and corps to battle against! A good idea would be to add the Marshal bandits ships as a separate new faction and add a career flow with them fighting against Nova Corp.

Really fun, maybe a procedural campaign to extend it but really solid start.

this I would keep and rate "ok" (not good, not bad) it has issues. the game starts off super slow and feels super grindy. not many different things to do. it also doesn´t really know what it wants to be. rts or piloting sim ? it looks great, but if you play zoomed in on the great looks you dont even see what is really going on . travelling in the sector takes forever, even though you have a "boost mode" which speeds up ships significantly. it still takes forever sometimes. you do not have an weapons / equipment "arsenal". you replace loadouts by buying new guns. you cannot stockpile and reuse / refit. (or it is somewhere hidden and I couldnt find it. ship progression and level progression seems kinda off: enemy missiles always seem to hit. PDC are super unreliable. you wipe the floor in the 1st sector and get to a point you think "lets get the next sector" and there it just welcomes you with death. ship progression is somwwhat limited (few weapon types , levels as well as different ship types) if this game would have better weapon balancing plus a little bettr sector travelling, as well as a bit more weapon variety, it would be a gem. right I cannot recommend. refunded.

very fun and mostly chill game. enjoyed it all the way from piloting a fighter, to flying around in a medium destroyer. Very much looking forward to the rest of the updates on the roadmap
