Dug up my old GOG account to give some feedback.
I love the premise of the game. Very original and the setting is great.
I realize that this is only early access but I miss the danger of getting into a fight that Everspace 1 had. More limits on weapon energy, nanobots, healing, and special abilities meant that I had think and prepare before attacking. And if I did decide to fight I made sure to pick a spot where I could easily retreat or take cover behind asteroids/wrecks while keeping an eye on the bigger ships that were a major threat. Combat in Everspace 2 is better in many ways but the threat of being overwhelmed in a fight is gone.
There's a couple of minor improvements that would be great to have. An option to make your ship semi transparent so you can better see what's going on in 3rd person and a distance indicator on your crosshair so you know how far you are from whatever it's pointing at. Not just targets but all solid objects like walls and ground as well.
