Too bad the basic gameplay loop of the game has never been fun. I've installed the game multiple times over the years, after seeing it showered with praise, and it's always the same; some minor corner of the game is improved, but the basic actions of exploring, resource gathering, combat, and most importantly flying your spaceship all feel like ass. I've legitimately played multiple Roblox games that have a better grasp on how to design ship controls, and Minecraft was making significantly more interesting procedural environments before it even fully released.

100% agree. I’ve been in the same cycle of wanting to like the game but the progression is just awful. A lot of cool ideas that only work if you max out the game. Problem is early progression feels so boring and id rather build a shitty house in minecraft than spend an hour flying to different planets looking for a random map that will unlock something or go to a random temple that unlocks a word to partially understand a merchant to unlock the next item.
