I had a mixed feeling about this game. The gameplay did leave a lot to be desired. The piloting for the hovercraft was horrible, it felt like I was trying to ride a segway across an ice-skating rink. The fact that there was no sensitivity setting made aiming abysmal, as my crosshair was flying across the screen. The gun felt like it was lazily made,the fact that it recharged ammo just gave me the impression that you didnt bother to create any sort of reload mechanic. Additionally, I felt that the first level was just a massive tutorial that took up half the game. However, there were things that I did like. The level inside the complex felt good, like some old-style shooter like wolfenstein. The end part when you run away on the hovercraft was exciting, though annoying due to the flight mechanics. Although i do not think that this game in my opinion gets more than 3/5 stars, I do think that what is already here is good and just needs polishing.
I would like the game more if it was actually at least a bit easier to unlock stuff without having to pay. As it is, you have to play for hours just to unlock your first class without paying. Because of the P2W, I give this 2/5 stars.

Would like to see damage on ships stay after leaving and then reloading a game. Annoying to waste time and money on a pirate hideout, then leave and have all of its health back.
Actually, I didn't find the boss that hard... Died about 17 times on my first try and when I replayed it I completed the boss without dying once...but I found some of the levels really hard on both of my tries (levels 16, 17, and/or 18... during one on my first try I died about 97 times...)
The problem with skins is that for Hardcore it would be more difficult to determine between friend and foe, so unless they make it so that skins are disabled for Hardcore, I don't think it will be a good idea.
Well, here's another comment on the annoying fuel system. The fuel system is just stupid. Having there be bonus stuff that you can get if you pay is fine with me, but having FUEL half to be bought with real money is a bit crazy. Either take it out and have it be bought with in-game currency, or at least make the rate at which you regain it naturally 3x faster or something.
