While it looks like a nice game and it's very pretty it has the worst flight controls I have seen in many years. The enemies constantly regenerate their Shields so even if you get a few shots on them it does no good there's no good lock on system because they tell you Target them and it does nothing seeing as how the ships are faster and more maneuverable than you are so they simply run around you like bees so you're lucky to get one or two shots on them at best good concept but nope.

The game isn't bad but it isn't perfect either, to begin with the ai pilots are nothing like the ones from either of the warplanes games, in those games the pilots actually did something and they aided in battle, here they might as well not even be there, they shoot an enemy every blue moon and half of the battle they're doing god knows what while Im the only one fighting the enemy fleet, also the bomber ai sucks, they don't even try to target the enemy ships and they miss 99% of the times

Great game. It's better on the Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC just due to the controls being more intuitive. I haven't tried pairing my PC controller. So I don't know if that works. Attend: it works be amazing if we were able to scavenge wrecked ships or get auto-pay bounties for wiping out pirates on the map (amount could depend on the fleet class and numbers). Also if we could eventually build our own carriers, corvettes or other capital ships it would be amazing.

Great graphics , Great content., Like the jobs in-game. However I find most of the enemy ships are vary easy to take out. Infact the game is too easy. I went against 20 fighters and never once did they hit me. Not realistic, so maybe a difficulty setting with levels of intensity would be awesome. If a game is too easy it gets old fast. Decent game tho, did vary well on it. Just make it harder and add more ships would be a plus.

A really enjoyable game. One of the best I've ever played. Critiques: I noticed when the game tells me I'll be payed 3x for combat, I only get paid 1x. Also, the game tends to be tedious with wave after wave of small craft to destroy. IMO, it would be less monotonous if you only had to shoot down 10 smaller crafts rather than 17. I like seeing the occasional large craft. It adds a new dynamic that makes it more interesting than just shooting dozens of fighters down repetitively.

Good graphics, playable game, and minimal ads! I've got one major thing to ask, though. I think that we should be able to build or purchase corvettes, transporters, carriers, destroyers and dreadnoughts. In my opinion, they can be bought or constructed by delivering massive quantities of ship parts to the desired location. I would also like a way to obtain money or ship parts by scavenging wrecks of ships. This would make it PERFECT. Thanks, One very happy player

RE: there's some things that should be featured ingame 1. Large ships should actually open fire on eachothers hull, dealing damage. 2. Add a cutscene feature to campaign builder (allows for different camera angles and focusing, and overall would be epic) 3: Make it so the enemy spawns closer, and Add warp effect for ship load-in, and maybe more real-time stuff that doesn't need loading? 4. Allow for ship edits (not minor ships) and spacestation and surface base turrets and damaging

I wish there was more to do. Please add more stuff, I'll play it, add more ships I'll buy them. To people browsing games, this game looks great, plays great, just don't forget to calibrate your accelerometer. It's basically a space version of Warplanes WW2 Dogfight but with the whole milky way galaxy as your playground plus a trading and quest system of multiple quest givers of varying difficulties and rewards. The Mk 2 Brutus is my favorite ship and the Black Swan is my second, B3 my 3rd fav.

I loved it, I only uninstalled because I needed the room on my phone, I'm looking for the game that can one up this one, still haven't found it yet, if I could land on planets surface and explore on foot, I would have continued to make missions and kept playing this game as my one and only game to focus on. To the devs, notify me pleases if you decide to add a planetary surface explore and harvest system incorporated and I'll come back and start redesigning huge campaign missions. -Chrismas G.

Great game, I just think it needs a little more variety regarding most things; missions, dialogue, purchasable ships, etc. But I love the open game after the main campaign. I'm now on a conquest; I'm buying every buyable station in every solar system, making infinite money trade routes in each, and taking over the galaxy. I'm making so much money that money actually is no object. It's so unreal lol.
