"Flight" model is very good, core gameplay is fun, progressing through ships and upgrades feels good. Unfortunately the game is practically on life support until early 2021 (delayed from late 2020) when the next large paid expansion is supposed to come out, with the only content release between today and next year being fleet carriers that were themselves delayed almost a year. There seems to be a large disconnect between the developers and players (the classic "none of them play their own game" issue we see so much these days), so what's released and what players want to play are sometimes very different.
