Melted the Avenger for a Gladius. It’s my favorite ship so far. On Parsifal’s advice I bought an Avenger Titan and did a few cargo hauls. It’s a pretty sweet little ship, and it looks like the whole Avenger line is getting reworked to be bigger.
The game is a lot more playable than when I first got it a year ago. I’ve been able to play it for long stretches instead of turning it off after 20 minutes in frustration. My concern right now is how quickly they’ll be able to expand the verse. We know they can take care of bugs, add ships and improve performance. But the actual gameplay arena is really small and hasn’t expanded much during the years it’s been in development. They’re supposed to have 100 star systems on release. It looks like they’ll be lucky to get 3-4 in. Still, that would be quite a big play area, but nothing close to the scope that they promised.
