"Giant alien spiders are no joke." -- person making a bad life decision
An impressive starship roguelite, with intricate ship-to-ship combat, careful trade-offs, a good variety of random events and ship parts (especially with the free Advanced Edition expansion), and a lot of smart design. Being able to freely pause the real-time combat however you want is deeply appreciated, and lets you take your time with planning your tactics. I adore the music, which has a good blend of more ambient and more melodic pieces.
My only major critique is that the difficulty levels feel mis-labeled. What they call Easy / Normal / Hard, I think would be fairer to call Normal / Hard / Very Hard.
