    The game is a totally bug infested and poorly made mess. It was a good idea that was horribly implemented. Add to that there is no way to be entertained solo and the PvP is totally unfair because back in testing there were exploits that created people with far more money than over 95% of players will ever earn combined.

Add to that there is no way to be entertained solo and the PvP is totally unfair because back in testing there were exploits that created people with far more money than over 95% of players will ever earn combined. The developers announced after ending the exploits that they would never be resetting the game at or after launch. That made those few permanently in control of the large corporations and free to do anything they like forever along with any they choose to bless with tons of money. Not even Amazon can screw up a game as bad as these folks did.… Expand

    Short Story: Do not buy if you have any reallife and if 95% bugs and 5% game scare you.

    My last 3 days in Starbase: -| Make money to buy a cool ship -| Travel hours into the moon-belt (not the starter belt) -| Mine hours in the moon-belt -| Run out of fuel -| Realize the refill recipes are outdated -| Contact support -| Wait for support -| Realize support will not help you    Short Story: Do not buy if you have any reallife and if 95% bugs and 5% game scare you.

    My last 3 days in Starbase:
    -| Make money to buy a cool ship
    -| Travel hours into the moon-belt (not the starter belt)
    -| Mine hours in the moon-belt
    -| Run out of fuel
    -| Realize the refill recipes are outdated
    -| Contact support
    -| Wait for support
    -| Realize support will not help you within the next days
    -| Also realize i'll never know if my ticket got even looked at
    -| Insurance transfer back to origin, leave all the ore and the ship
    -| Buy a new ship
    -| See it's Propellant Tank is broken and it's built using several glitches
    -| Attempt to fix it, won't snap where it should snap
    -| Pick up the Tank with support attached -> the tank vanishes
    -| Craft a new Tank
    -| Realize you need the meter upgrade for that again
    -| To save time, just buy it instead
    -| Try to put beams so it may snap where it should snap
    -| Forget about the Tank-eating bug again
    -| Pick up the tank + Support again
    -| Realize it's vanished again
    -| Realize i've no time for all this bugs

    I would really really love to give this a positive review. I love the game itself. But all this bugs and stuff missing which was in there in closed alpha already makes me sad. It's way too time intense and you mostly always lose stuff due to weird bugs which should have been ironed out since CA already. Now it's in Early Access and it looks like they just removed everything what was causing heavy problems instead of fixing it.

    Trapped in space since 2 days due to a bug and i don't know if i should sit there any longer, waiting for support to MAYBE help me, or just spawn back to origin, forget about the 6h travel time it took me to get there & suffer from another bug the next time. Also the economy get's ruined by devs like every single patch.

    Support is not aware of which ore is obtainable atm and which ones are not. People claim they have lost Ore which is not even obtainable now, but support gives them what they were asking for, leading into some people can make a lot of money with stuff which isn't meant to be ingame now. Really, idk what to say about this game. It has so much potential, but all the missing QoL features and bugs are making it a nightmare. Also, if you have a reallife &/or job, you simply cannot compete with the nolifers. Big groups selling stuff without making profit, just to drop prices in the auction house, leading into newbies losing motivation in not being able to make any profit by selling their stuff. They should not have moved to Early Access now.

    At least they are honest and tell that they don't really know what they're doing balance-wise.

    Don't get me wrong, you can still play hours over hours. But you will get frustrated maaaaaany times & in the end, it's not even rewarding at all. The whole research tree is nonsense, idk who designed the tree, but half the stuff is missing & most of the stuff there should not even require an unlock at all. I am afraid they just use early access to slowly bring back what was ingame already, don't fix any of the gamebreaking bugs but then fully release the game in a broken state.

    Again - I would really love to rate it positive, but the amount of bugs are insane.

    Also instead of helping, devs laugh at you when you tell your story. I am sorry i was put in this situation by all your bugs    … Expand
