Game review

Sorry, this is not an actual 10/10, but a 9/10, deduct that from the following review :P

Excellent game, though the battles tend to be extremely long (but that is just how these games are, and that's why there is my friend the "speed up" button).

I adore customizing, so the ability to blueprint your own ships was what made me buy this game. What i found extremely disappointing though is that the placement of items didn't seem to matter that much. all ships are the same dull model with maybe an extra small engine or some other small additions, but basically everything looks the same. I understand that making a new model for everything would be WAY too time consuming, but i think you can let the game model the units itself, ased on the placement of items, so if you put two giant engines in the sides of the ship, the game just adds 2 3D models of engines enlarged greatly to certain points of the basic hull model. that would already significantly add more diversity in ship looks. and there is so much difference in hitpoint between the light and heavy hulls, why is there so little difference in the "space" slots? 14 minimum and 16 max while the hitpoints are roughly 10x as much. i think that making the gaps a bit bigger would make it again more diverse and better.
