Wells, it really is baby's first space game. Kids are having a blast playing this I guess.

For the rest of us, it's still an ocean deep as a puddle, no matter how many settlements or space stations you own.

It was, is and always will be a boring ass repetitive game.

    Has there ever been a game focused around ship combat/trading, either in space or by sea, that had more depth than a puddle? I feel like that is kind of the genre.

    X3 Terran Conflict. It might take you 30 hrs to figure out how to do literally anything. But man, you can go from piloting a frigate telling 3000 ships to attack a station, to deploying spy sattelites so you can route your space weed smuggling ships away from the law/pirates, to piloting an attack fighter in the thick of the battle you just started... all in a single breath... once you've learned all the keyboard shortcuts, that is.

    I would be fine with that. But i couldnt recreate the approximation of the 2014 trailer in 10 years. I never had the pleasure to see a single cool planet of which i could hop off and do some mediocre space battle. Its just such a frustrating game and i really liked the original artstyle.

    Anyway, i should really put NMS in my filterlist because it gets me angry and worked up every single time. Ugh. Stupid.
