    The game features significant grinding elements, which can be enjoyable for players who appreciate space brawlers and loot collection, but may deter those who prefer a more streamlined experience. While some players find the grinding manageable and even rewarding, others criticize it as excessive, particularly with the lengthy time required to unlock items through faction-specific leveling systems. Overall, the grinding aspect is a mixed bag, appealing to some while frustrating others.

    • “The grinding is bad but it's manageable.”
    • “Very grindy game and there is quite a bit of room for improvement.”
    • “The leveling system is supposed to unlock some of these items for you... after about 30 hours of grinding a single faction, that is (every single faction has a separate leveling system for unlocking their ship parts).”

    The game's story is largely considered non-existent, with only a vague narrative involving a character named Jan Solo, who requires assistance. Players primarily engage in sandbox-style gameplay, completing missions for or against various factions, but many feel the lack of a substantial storyline does not detract from the overall experience.

    • “You can help other factions out through missions or you can take them out.”
    • “Over a year now with little to no content added and still no storyline.”
    • “The vague whisper of a storyline exists with Jan Solo, the merchant who needs your help, but otherwise, it's very sandbox and isn't any worse off for its lack of a story.”
    • “[*] non-existent story”
