I finally downloaded the demo and decided to play this... thinking I'd be in for some cool space ship commanding EVN-style only to find it's pretty boring.
There's all this cool module shit and spending money and balancing power and crew availability with the weapons you select, then you put your ships into battle and decide what orders to give them before the battle begins, then you basically hit a "go" button and...
Sit. And watch. And do nothing.
If the "Admit Defeat" button was renamed "Concede to Boredom" I'd have pressed it.
It's like, they had all these cool spaceship designs and I was really hoping to make some nice sweet ships and kitted out modules only to find that the game revolves around all the boring aspects of battles in space and none of the actual exciting battle bits. :/
I felt like there should've been a "Did I Win?" button which bypasses the boring space battles and just tells you whether your ship design is awesome or not.
Was really hoping it was more of a "you have a personal ship" which you actually command, like with a keyboard or something and are madly clicking and pressing keys to fire your lasers and cannons and manouvering around and shit while in battle.
