The game's story aspect is highly customizable, featuring options for game-mastered scenarios and player-versus-environment missions, supported by an expansive Python scripting system that allows for the creation of new missions. Users praise the custom mission mode for its versatility and the ability to involve multiple game masters and ships simultaneously, noting that the new scripting capabilities significantly enhance the potential for mission and mod development compared to previous iterations.
“The game master custom mission mode is exceptionally good with multiple ships and game masters at a time.”
“The new Python scripting far surpasses the old XML in the previous game, making the potential for missions and mods infinite!”
“There are options for game mastered scenarios where a GM can run out a story in real time or PvE scenarios, and a very expansive scripting system allows new missions to be made.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”

The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with users labeling it a cash grab due to significant technical issues, lack of essential features like keybinding options and tutorials, and overall poor quality. Players feel that the developers prioritize profit over delivering a functional and engaging experience.
“Do not buy - half the ship is cut off on engineering, comms don't reply to hails. It's basically a cash grab by people who care nothing about it.”
“You can't adjust resolution; only full screen or a window. There are no keybinding options or even an explanation of what keys do.”
“There's no tutorial to even explain the basic functions of the game - it's honestly just broken.”
