Pros:
+ One of the best and only worthwhile full game experiences on mobile
+ Simple but gripping skills-based combat
+ Cool abilities
+ Great graphics for a mid-2010’s mobile game
+ Surprisingly memorable music
+ Entire factions and planet systems and lore
+ A weirdly robust item trading and sellong system you wouldn’t expect from a mobile game that causes a great feedback loop

Cons:
- Planet systems inside solar systems are completely identical inside their respective factions, with only the background’s planet and skybox as well as an occasional asteroid belt differentiating them from each other
- Late- and post-game the grind starts to get more and more monotonous until you have to pay 30 000 000 credits as well as collect 30 tons of the most valuable commodity in the game to buy your own space station
- DLC doesn’t add as much as its asking price suggests, the price should’ve been more evenly distributed with the base game
- Most NPC quests end up being useless when grinding as you’ll just farm certain commodities as you try to save up, discouraging 100%:ing the game unless you want to spend money
