I do actually like this game but am giving a negative review for feedback reasons.

Biggest issue is its too easy to raid other peoples ships. Once inside you can basically control the enemy ship with ease to the point where it has become the meta of the game. It invalidates all the other really cool mechanics of upgrading your ship and its weapons. No need to do all that when you can fly over to the enemy ship, walk in like you own the place, and spawn camp its inhabitants until you blow the reactor or destroy it with sal bombs and fire.

Currently due to these issues, the game is more Call of Duty than it is Sea of Thieves or Guns of Icarus.

I would personally make it much harder to get into ships. I feel like you should need to break into both the shield and the doors before being able to get inside. Its already bad enough that most players constantly leave the doors open.

Additionally I would suggest that whilst inside an enemy ship, you cannot teleport home, it makes stealing upgrades too easy.

On top of that I think there should be a consequence for a failed boarding, perhaps double or triple the spawn timer if you die in or around an enemy ship.

Please fix this.

I've been waiting to play this for a long time. With the latest update I thought I'd give it a go to see if it was now optimised. Can confirm it isn't. With a RTX 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800x 32GB RAM you can't even get a stable 60FPS on medium settings. On higher settings its 20-40 fps. Even with DLSS. I wont reward EA with my money for this game if they cannot be bothered to finish developing it. My refund is pending.
