There looks to be a lot of features missing that the developers advertised.

Planets in the game are just different coloured versions of each other with no meaningful difference, and the planets are just static elements rather than the physics based on solar systems that were discribed.

There is also no meaningful interaction with the NPCs as was advertised, they do not fly and trade between bases, they do not land on planets and mine like the player character.

My biggest issue is that there is no proper faction system in the game that influences the galaxy or that I am able to influence, the factions that are in the game are just NPCs that you trade with in stations and they do not war or attempt to expand.

I really wanted to enjoy this game, but it does not appear to be the game that was advertised by the developers.

I am aware that this is in early access, so these points may change.
However as the game is being charged for, it can still be critiqued.
The progression is ridiculous, unless you're on a custom server with highly inflated progression systems, you're not going to make your first structure in your first week of playing, even then it takes too long to gather enoguh materials to do anything in a single session of play. The learning curve is more of a near vertical rock face.

Until the progression system is changed drastically, I would advise against getting this game.
