I think I bought the game for 3 bucks.  Can't beat that price.  I have played it for 38 hours (almost a full work week).  Initially I liked it, but it started to get so repetitive.  I like the combat system, but there is a lot of room for improvement for instance if you get a ship that has more than 5 weapon slots then it's hard to separate those since if you don't you run out of power and have to wait several seconds before you can shoot again or it will only shoot the weapons that it had power enough for.  Several UI improvements I would suggest would be:1. Sorting.  It would be nice to sort or search for items since after a while you have a laundry list of items stored in space stations.2. Suggestions on what components would be better for your ship or not.  If there was 5 it wouldn't be that hard but when you have a list of 40 different components its very hard to keep track of them.3. It seems that every space station wanted something, which is some what repetitive over time but having to click on each one of them because you have 600 of them and they all want different components takes to much time.  If it could show me what components I need and if a space station actually had them would be AMAZING.  4. The trading Codex is a great start, but only showing me the average, low and high doesn't help as much as telling which station had those prices.5. Trading, I figured this out in about 20 minutes.  Just find low prices on expensive goods which there is only 3 or 4 really and you can make a fortune.  If you think I'm going to buy iron because is 12.00 and on average it sells for 18.00 your crazy.  For 1, I can't hold enough of the iron to make it worth while in my ship (unless you have purchased a level 4 ship or higher and even then you can only hold so much), and for 2 making 6.00 on 100 iron will net me 600.00 if I can find a place that will pay that since its luck of the draw really.  I can buy 50 platinum and make 500.00 profit on each (that's 25K for our math challenged readers) in about 5 to 10 minutes which begs the question as to why I would do anything else?  6. Ships.  I like the ships, its fun to fly them but when you save up 300k to get the "Juggernaut" and its slower than my other ship it doesn't matter how many guns you have.  You'll be dead before you can turn and shoot.  Bigger better ships should be just that bigger and better.  It was a huge let down when I finally did get that big ship only to discover that it kind of blew compared to my smaller faster ship.  I mean once you get a cloaking device I could go anywhere and do anything without getting killed anymore.  Which is what brought me here to post since I couldn't think of a reason to continue playing it.7.  Purpose.  Other than just endlessly trading and killing pirates I have no real purpose.  Which is why I don't play it anymore.  It would be awesome if I could actually build space stations and become my own faction or develop my own empire.
For 3 bucks it was worth it. I look forward to them adding more.
