Check out the Internet Historians video for the best description of the fall and rise of this game, but personal opinions on it, I really enjoy it, is a bit grindy at times, combat is pretty solid, ship piloting is pretty smooth, the mission system is cool, and base building is awesome, the game does still has a few optimization issues, and bug fixes that will probably be worked out soon, but all in all the game is a 8/10 not a bad game anymore but also not without its own flaws. i recommend anyone to check it out if you can.
