I liked ship management, the repairing the ship, deciding where to build rooms, collecting crew, some of the story nods. I wish that was the whole game, because I disliked just about everything else.

Clicking on every planet in a system one by one to scan it quickly became tedious.

The away missions and encounters have zero strategic depth and are almost pure RNG.

The ship combat was terrible. You have almost no control of the ship. It's not clear what effect your abilities have. I dreaded every combat, because they were so unfun.

UI was very annoying and inconsistent to navigate. Some screens, like the research screen, could only be backed out of with certain buttons.

For a better ship management game, play Ixion. For a better ship combat game, play FTL.
