A fun game and a nice addition to my library to play in my downtime, it is a unique turn based space battle game with many easy to learn mechanics as long as you read the dialogue in the tutorials. Some of the mechanics are a bit cumbersome/annoying but are still easy to learn and remember. Some examples being having to turn some systems off or on to conserve power, or changing firing modes to hold fire, firing at a certain % chance to hit, and firing at will. I am not saying these are bad mechanics and the only reason I say they are cumbersome/annoying is that you have to hover over your ship and go through menus to do this and in order to hover over the ship you must have the ship centered around the middle of your screen. Implementing a system where you can just click on the ship and go through the menus would be nicer but at the same time it is fine in it's current state im just personally picky.
Currently I have found 2 bugs in the game one being during the mission where you ambush the transport and set your ships to hold their fire once I was able to start shooting the transport I was told to have my ships target the transport and then set them to fire at will, I did this for both ships but the dialogue stayed there telling me to set my ships to target the transport and would not go away if I clicked it, made sure several times that I was doing as instructed and eventually restarted the game and replayed the mission where the bug did not happen again. The second bug was during that same mission while attempting to finish it after the first bug, where you are supposed to grab the cargo and leave, I went near the cargo and according to the mission objective and dialogue I had grabbed it, but once I left the mission borders the mission failed stating I did not, once again a simple retry of the mission went without either of the two bugs occuring.
My one con for this game is some of the dialogue is spelt incorrectly or seeming to be missing some words, some examples being loose when you mean lose, and there was one bit of dialogue in the tutorial I cannot remember where that had a very broken sentence that made very little sense until I read it a few times and added a few words to it I believe the sentence went something like "If happens it, do will." I believe it was for the mission where you hack The Sparrows Comms Array.
And finally just a personal request, please make it so that players don't need a scroll wheel to zoom in/out add a slider on a side of the screen or make it so we can use + - or [ ] to zoom because not everyone has a mouse and not all laptop touchpads can scroll, mine being an example, since it has never been able to recognize two fingers on it at once even after enabling/disabling certain options that should have helped.
Thank you for reading this and keep up the good work dev!
