The underlying game is just that much fun that you feel compelled to keep soldiering on despite the bugs. But there’s the thing – despite the bugs, I still find myself wanting to take my ship out for a spin. However, they are still early in the development and not without bugs or balance issues. You can already trade, bounty hunt, refuel and mine both in space and on planets. These are just some of the careers planned in the game and some of them are already in.

Losing a capital ships is going to be a costly affair. Capital ships have a big target on their backs and as WW2 taught us, big ships are vulnerable to bombers and torpedos and need adequate fighter escorts.

Medium fighters can have stealth (Sabre), be good at brawling (Hornet) or be glass cannons (Hurricane). Small fighters like the Galdius and Arrow are fast and nimble. Because these maps are only meant for small skirmishes, performance is very very good. There is a mode called Arena Commander where you can go against other players or AI in small pre-generated maps.
