I saw this the other day and thought it looked interesting, so I downloaded it. Since I cannot play Tomb Raider due to a game breaking bug, I thought I'd give it a try.

I played 2 games and quit.

Yes, that's not enough to judge the game, and yes, I may go back and give it some more time... but the ridiculously over powered guys who sit miles away and 2-3 shot you are too much. I got into some really good dog fights up close, had a bit of a laugh, but whenever we moved away from our spawn point, it's just BLAM BLAM BLAM dead. Absolutely no fun there at all.

And it's not like there's much cover, a few asteroids dotted around, but not enough to get close to them to hit them back, or flank them. I was even playing in the starter ship with stealth, I managed to get right up behind one only by stealthing and afterburning all the way, tried to circle him fast so he couldn't hit me, but it seems like they are invulnerable and even have the ability to turn and shoot you before you can even get them to 90% shield.

And these were all tier 1 ships, supposedly similar in power?

If this is a balancing issue, fine. If this is a P2W issue, then I ain't gonna put any more time into it. WoT is much better than this right now, at least you stand a chance (sometimes).

Yup the game does require lots of balance, not sure how they will go about it though. It can get quite grindy as well at tier 3.
