Cool game
I really tried, but this is just too clunky and boring.

Docking is great - UI is bad looking yet but we can't care Update the User Interface to a better design please The connection buttons between the space station and the ship is also pretty off the grid for space games Those aesthetic flaws are not a crime though
X3 very lite. Gets boring pretty fast. There's no way to swap between fleets that are in a different sector, the only remote orders you can give are trade related, you can't give any combat orders to fleets you're not in. Sure it's a free game but if you're into this but want a lot more depth and control just get X3 which on a sale is like €2. Or X4 if you want something more recent.
烂尾了可惜了
Simple but good game.
Игра 'Helium Rain' - это уникальный космический экономический симулятор с элементами RPG. Здесь нет динамичных сражений, зато есть глубокая экономическая модель, заставляющая просчитывать каждый шаг. Управление корпорацией, добыча ресурсов, торговля, строительство станций, научные исследования – все это создает ощущение реального космического капитализма. Графика, хоть и не самая передовая, создает приятную атмосферу суровости космоса и индустриального будущего. Интерфейс поначалу кажется сложным, но спустя пару часов погружения становится интуитивно понятным. Самое главное достоинство игры - это ее нелинейность. Вы сами определяете свой путь развития, будь то торговля, военная экспансия или научные изыскания. При этом игра наказывает за ошибки и дарит ощутимое чувство прогресса за успешные решения. Однако, стоит отметить, что игра достаточно нишевая и требует терпения и усидчивости. Любителям аркадных космических шутеров она может показаться скучной. Но для тех, кто любит вдумчивые экономические стратегии в космическом сеттинге, 'Helium Rain' станет настоящей находкой. Рекомендую!

I was genuinely so excited to try this. I loved the newtonian-ish flight mechanics. I loved the trade idea. I loved all of it really. But what killed it quite simply was the 3rd person camera. How painfully dull. If the cockpit was better maybe, but I ABSOLUTELY HATED the 3rd person camera disabling all flight maneuvers except keyboard controls. No pitch/yaw at all in that view. Absolutely killed it and it's hard coded in the game... no way around it that I can find. My suggestion, if you don't hate the cockpit view as much as I do or the 3rd person camera issues, it's probably a great game. Especially for the Newtonian physics and spectacular views (if you're into space as much as I am) But if you got into this hoping to try your hand at some more realistic flight mechanics that every space sim fails miserably at... better get used to that god awful cockpit view.
