Visually it's really nice and it plays pretty fluid, it's a nice game, but in various ways it still feels like half a game. If the question is play or don't play, it's definitely a yes, go play it, it's worth experiencing.

Ive enjoyed it. Only onto the 2nd main system (probably the endish of there as ive done loads) but ive properly hammered the side missions and got to the top level of renown or whatever its called. Think ive ruined it a bit for myself as i found it got way too easy. And now ive just got an Orange Legendary flak cannon which destroys almost everything very quickly. So will probably put that away and carry on with my lasers.
Its just a fun arcadey space shooter that i know would have been played to death when i was younger as i loved that.
Ive currently saved and got 500k cash. I cant figure out, do the Hangers that sell ships always have the same ones? Or do they rotate. Im sure i saw some better ships i wanted to buy somewhere and dont know if ive lost what shop it was or theyve just changed them. And what are the top level ships? Im seeing purple mark 3's i think the number they have. Or 3+'s?

3+ is the top level, available at 17 - that's the max, unless you upgrade one of your followers in which point you get level 4 ships...but it's a fair old grind to get the materials to upgrade him so I suspect you'll have finished most of the content by then.
I was pretty disappointed that I got to the 'best' ship so quickly and easily by 17.

Tier 4 is top level, which you only get access to once you complete the last stage of one of your companions perks, Tier 4 ships can also equip 2 legendary items instead 1 (you're limited to only having 1 on at a time with other ship tiers).
You can always notch the difficulty up midgame(and knock it back down later if it gets a bit too spicy) if you're finding your setup is swinging the odds in your favour too heavily.

Playing this on XSX with gamepass and absolutely hooked. Not sure if I’ll make it to the end, but it’s a good stop gap to Starfield. Definitely bringing back freelancer/tachyon type vibes.

I lost interest partly due to the price at release. Will be waiting a couple of years. Sub £15 I think I will bite.
New systems and ships ?

- Any plans to introduce ray tracing along with converting to UE5?

Nice. Will eventually give the game a go. But dude, you guys should make your next game like Freelancer. That would be a instant buy from me. Still yet to play something that comes close

I've been loving this recently, and really enjoy how the game deals with travelling between and within solar systems. Helps with immersion too, and gives a good sense of scale.
There's so many options and playstyles. As soon as I think I've found my fav (rail gun and beam laser) I hit a new level with a random weapon drop and everything changes again.
Just starting to get into Union properly now, around level 13. Will be looking to jump into a Tier II or even III ship soon. Might take the time to explore different ship styles too, Vindicator seems interesting but I think I'm leaning more toward Sentinel style of play.

There's no penalty for switching ships in monetary terms as the ships don't devalue, so if you want to try a ship out, but find it's not your thing, then you can sell it for near enough what you bought it for.
I'm a Gunship pilot, just love how tanky it is!

I just wish all space games handled like Everspace 2 
It's just so nice.

Thats true, its just tricky trying to find new stock rotations. Haven't quite figured out how far I need to travel before going back to get different ships in the hangar.
Bought a II+ Sentinel in end, though will jave to try a gunship/vindicator. I'm almost certain I'll find them too sluggish, but only one way to find out.
Thanks. It's something the team really wanted to get right and we're glad when people really enjoy the feel of the ship handling across the series.I just wish all space games handled like Everspace 2
It's just so nice.
Ship stock rotates as time goes on, with one ship rotating after seven minutes, half of the ships after 14 minutes, and 75% after 28 minutes. All of the ships will have changed after 56 minutes. The stock only rotates while in supralight or in a different location. The whole stock can be refreshed every 10 minutes with Tareen's Ship Dealer Perk.
Our next free update Incursions will launch on April 29th.
