this strikes me as a step down from blueshift so far...useless shields seem to make up 90% of the item drops, only 1% of items are actually useful, and only 9% are weapons...also, why do enemies just now appear in wall formation, in blueshift multiple units in varying formations were on screen at any given time, now its just one wall of enemies, this not only takes alot from gameplay but also defeats the purpose of using a laser which penetrates enemies
