A 23 minutes review done in a very moderate tone and with quite some attempt to be fair and balanced. I agree with most, but not all what he says, but I give him cudos for trying to be fair and especially for telling people what bad a mess their behavior is that shout and yell and call each other names in a way they would not dare to do in real life.

My own biggest complaint so far is that bad balancing and the lack of challenge in fights and dogfights. The Albion is an über-equipped ship-killing monster already at the beginning, outclassing everything of its size and smaller, and even bigger ships. Some people say the combat AI actually were pretty well scripted, but doe snot have the opportunity to shine because the ships it controls die too fast. I use to blow my dogfighting enemies out of battle within one second of encounter. And that is what makes it tiresome and pointless.

I agree with most what the guy says in the video, maybe not with all, but he gets it right, all in all. But currently I have the game in sleep-mode a bit, until fighting has been beefed up, the trading works, and the problems being encountered in boarding procedures and ship building are sorted out. It is buggy, yes, but like the guy in the video it has not stopped me from playing and enjoying it until here.
