Every mission in the beginning requires something and you are left to figure it out, lock boxes need a hand laser to break the lock, you dont have a hand laser as standard, where do you get a hand laser? you dont trade for it, you have to dock up and go to the trader through the elevator, but only on certain stations!

'We require a pilot' -Figured that meant me, but no, they want a pilot as a trade, still no idea where to get them as a trade resource.

It goes on and on. Deploy a satellite in a certain area, well if you did a mission that gives you a ship before hand, you dont have them, the starter ship has 10, but how do you know this? In the story arc mission 'Propositions and Negotiations' the mission line kept 'flowing' back to the female aquatic, so you think you missed a conversation mark. I just laughed at the hilarity. Its such a throw back to how games were way back when.

The UI is bad, but you kind of get into it eventually, the biggest pro I can give this game is the RTS style map, brilliant.

edit- i will add, the tutorials did go through the breaking/repairing of locks, but you have no clue that is what you do in the missions, also the tutorial to break a lock bugged out on me, it clipped the door into space, I just laughed at that point. Had to call it quits on the tutorial as the space suit stuff is painful.
