Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the ineffective blueprint system that requires them to rebuild ships from scratch after destruction. This repetitive process detracts from the overall experience, leading to frustration and a sense of unnecessary effort.
- “Saving ship blueprints is a little tedious and lacks a resource-free ship building/editor.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”

Players find the humor in the game largely stems from the chaotic interactions and lively banter among participants, especially during multiplayer sessions. The combination of ship modification and maintenance adds a unique layer of fun, reminiscent of previous enjoyable experiences in other games. Overall, the social aspect and player creativity contribute significantly to the comedic experience.
- “The servers can be a bit dodgy, but when you have a good number of players, you're guaranteed to have a blast. I haven't had this much fun since I tried out naval battles in Holdfast, where it was mostly just people yelling funny things on voice chat. This game takes it to a whole new level, allowing you to modify, build, and maintain your mothership and other ships while enjoying the humor throughout.”
- “The humor in this game is top-notch! The interactions between players and the absurd situations that arise make every session a hilarious experience.”
