Great start. need something to do with the nice ships when you finally get them. I also found it odd that no matter how big a shield I had, there was no way to kill the big bosses without boosting out to recharge shields at a base. And yes a hanger would allow someone to taste some of the interesting variants such as the assault fighter without losing their main ship. The trade and jobs might be nice but most are impracticle until pirates are cleared.
Having a game like this, that is geared towards people who will spend money on it is totally against the spirit of a "free games onlne site".
The other thing I noticed was that you can sell things for credits, yet are required to use real cash if you chose to purchase that same item.
The extra gas can does not fill the tank, you need several to do that. With max upgrade you still can not go too deep on a volcanic planet or you get enviromental heating. The endgame...all items are upgraded..all items are found. whats the point? Nothing is stated anywhere to what is needed to "complete the game" . I played through and fully upgraded twice. and yet it still shows a incomplete game why?
