RE: Unplayable - What gives?

<t>Yes Slay, I have figured this much. Very disappointed TBH, my bad for not realising what this game was. It is ultra boring imo. If you can't engage yourself in fighting enemies, then where is the actual gameplay? Sitting there twisting the ship around so your turrets still have a view whilst the ...

I filled it partially with Dark Star One but still yearned for something proper.Now the genre seems to be making a comeback.So ...
