I really wanted to recommend this game, but after 16 hours I've kind of given up on it. The RNG reliance and thus difficulty is too high, and NOT the kind of difficult where you feel a sense of accomplishment when you overcome it. Being able to 'beat' a run, even on the lowest difficulty, is entirely about what random encounters you end up with. Events will be repetitive and you will quickly know the correct dialogue answer to get what you want, but what you NEED to succeed is from a limited scope of encounters. The game encourages you to hail every ship you see, and this is important for gaining reputation as needed, but often you'll want to avoid certain encounters as they will result in reduced rep for a faction, or more cargo ships than you can hope to supply the water for. There are many interesting ship types and mechanics but you won't actually have the time to use them due to the forced fast-pace of the game. Missile boats are the only realistic way to clear the final challenge, so you're forced to be friendly with the Empire and pray to RNG that you can amass missile ships (and laser ships to screen for them) through the random events. This usually doesn't happen and you go into the final battle feeling like it was all a big waste of time. These detractors aside, the style and gameplay elements that exist are very fun early on when you don't necessarily expect to win; it only became depressing after many runs.

It's a fun little game. I picked it up on sale and after 25 hours of play time I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. On the other hand, after 25 hours of play time I'm ready to move on to something else. The game gets a little monotonous after a while especially since you have to start over from the beginning when ever your flagship is destroyed. There is no saving the game except when you quit and then you can pick it up where you left off but that's it. After starting the game over a few times you will find yourself encountering the same obstacles over and over and you learn what the right answers are to get past them. I finally made it all the way to the last jump point but had my ship destroyed before I could make it and I'm just too bored to start all over...AGAIN! But I do recommend the game, especially if you can pick it up on sale. It will entertain you for a while and I will likely go back and play it again sometime when I'm in the mood for something light and simple to kill a little time.

I am enjoying the game, but it is a bit buggy. Sometimes I get stuck and cannot select any of my fleet, or I cannot jump. But the variety of ships and little stories that pop up are entertaining. I'm hoping they fix the few issues that I've seen.

me gustaria que este traducido al español porque no entiendo mucho ingles. pero es increible juego

Very nice game, but some mechanics are still a bit clunky. for example when i trade there is the canche that the icon of the object on the other ship start flashing and blinking

So much fun even at this stage. FTL and BSG (Episode "33") had a baby and boom this is it. The Dev team (and big boss man himself ) is actively reacting and responding in Discord. Look forward to the new patches as the game adds sectors and expands things out to flesh out the game. Got more then my money's worth thus far and and this feels like it's only started and will get better ;) for years.
