I watched a few YouTube streamers play this game and it looked fun. Did some reading and noticed a lot of users mention the "steep learning curve" holy crap....were they right.
This game is really nothing more then a space flight sim. Battles, cargo, landing, etc all require flying skill. At time I would forget my button combos like down and circle lowers your landing gear, etc. The button layout on this game is horrible.
The games UI is also a total mess. It's funny how "real" this game wants to be with space flying. Want to land on that planet? Sorry you need to be in the exact location in order to do that. So many times I over shot something I was tracking only to lose it on screen then spend the next 15 minutes moving my space ship up, down, left, right to find it again.
This type of game is only for a select few I can imagine. Be warned. The learning curve is massive and a lot of extra research is need for GUI options like contacts, galaxy map, etc.
Would not recommend if your a casual video game player like me.
