Cons
Con Still in alpha
The game is not complete yet which means there can be bugs as well as promised features that will never see the light of day.
Con Servers are a "lag hell"
Due to the nature of physics simulation of custom built ships, the game requires top hardware to host the game, still making it a "lag hell" if there are more than 10 players.
Con Still not a whole lot to do
Being an early access game there is still a lot of missing features such as missions, thus leaving no much to do other than the free building mode.
