so got into this game recently and it is a very strange FTL like game, not fully a rip of more like strife compared to doom.
there more story and lore compared to FTL if you care about that.
also if you want a more ship building and changing, you can make more weapon spots more utility slots etc, but this makes a problem were ships with more slots seem better and your right, any ship with more slots are just better there no contents in this game bigger the ship the better.
and the hull system is odd were (if your not playing on the hardest skill) you will loss hull permanently after it goes to zero I can't make heads or tails of this is bad or not, like on one hand you don't imminently die to getting some back to back fights, but if you get into a very bad spot and don't die you kind of have under half of your ships hull gone forever.
and than there the weapons and there interesting ideas, were you use a very common and easy to get ammo to use them, but they use all the same ammo group so you will at some point run out and not be able to fight other ships or if the player uses energy weapons were the ship can just deflect the damage and shields just stop them dead in there tracks of not sporting the weapons to help are very bad, but they have unlimited ammo so it just better if the player use them only.
this makes ships like the rouge rat trash over tiger fish, easy tiger rat has no good back up weapons if they player runs out of ammo, the other 2 have weapons that work alone with out ammo at the START of the game.
than the big gimmick of the game over FTL start fate points, they are given from doing stuff like killing ships, exploring planets.
they give you these point to use at the start of the next game and you need to use all of the points other wise you loss them.
so you get massive amounts crew and extra stuff like weapons and other perks that have lots of extra metals and food etc, so you end up with tons of stuff that seem to make need extra crew if you don't than you seem to not have the crew needed to do anything or if you get the random diy weapons seem to just not be helpful and a waste of points.
so over all it is something that people who love FTL but want it to be more complicated and have more consistences for not playing well you will love this
