Is this a bad game? - no.
Do I have fun playing it for hours? - Yes.
Would I tell you to buy it? - Yes.

But! When I am realistic, it needs a lot of polish (And I don't mean people from poland!). Especially when it comes to advanced multiplayer fluidity. We're 3 friends playing career, only mod we have is increasing our crew/fame ratio, so all of us have 4-6 ships, some of them rather huge and the game tanks down to like 20fps (I had far over 100 in the beginning).
I blame pathfinding and storage.

We improved lags and wait time by having only the host autosave - the other players will ctrl+S whenever they sense the autosave lagspike and remember to press it.

Trading missions feel kinda useless.

Another issue I have with it is depth. I have a few ideas:
A) Let us produce and trade customer products - like drugs/meds, furniture, tools, weaponry, habitats.
B) Let us colonize planets.
D) My buddies asked for a little story with text fields. Doesn't have to be too complicated.
E) Larger galaxies with more higher-leveled systems or occasional huge space battles you can get entangled in.
F) ???

That's it from me. If you made it this far, check out "Captain Corbin" on yt and spotify, might be up your ally (I am not affiliated).

Godspeed, may you have sufficient O2 on all your travels!
