Great Game
This is a great game. While it has some small quirks, its still worth the money. I chose this game because I beat Galaxy On Fire and this game is similar, except this game might have more customization options. The Pros and cons are listed below.
Pros
+Smooth/realistic flight
+Beautiful graphics
+Lots of systems to explore
+Creative space stations, asteroid fields, landing pads etc., to explore in each system
+Pilot customization with classes/stats
+Missions you can take to earn credits/experience
+In depth Ship types
+In depth Ship customization. There are lots of kinds of ships with their own capabilities. Some, but not all, of things you can customize on the ship you choose to fly ship are below. I would like to note. There is a huge variety of everything listed below. I mean EVERYTHING. (Example: theres not just one kind of repair droid. Theres several kinds of repair droids, which can repair your ship mid battle etc.,)
-afterburners
-engines
-shields
-armors
-batteries/generators
-primary weapons (I.e., lasers/phasers etc.,)
-secondary weapons (missles etc.,)
-equipment (I.e., repair droids, scanners, tractor beams/teleporters, cargo/armor/shield mods etc.,)
Cons
Sometimes your targeting system wont work on ships that are already engaged in a battle. I think you can still do damage to them if you hit them though it is very hard to do so.
Update:
This game gets more exciting every time i play it!! Below are some tips.
1) If you cant engage targeting, select the ship you want to attack and when you get close enough targeting will be back on.
2) Illegal goods wont be picked up by your grappler automatically. They will show as red and will appear on your radar. You can pick these up by selecting them and waiting for them to be beamed aboard. They sell for a lot of money!! If you do so, sell them in the current system. If you enter a new system with illegal goods you will be scanned, the illegal goods will be identified and you will be fired on by local security. That being said, you can actually purchase a Smugglers Den which will allow you to transport illegal goods by making them invisible to local security scanners.
3) Some missions provide way more credits than mining if you pick up the illegal goods dropped by pirates you shot down and sell them in the local system.
