My only criticism is that even after playing the beta for a while I’m not sure what the point of the game is. Maybe they left too much out.

I do think the other factions will help, but ultimately it's a game that kind of expects you to make your own fun at times. Some people are into that, some not.

Are there enough mechanics to make your own fun?

yeah I have concerns about any sort of long term progression. Besides making money for cosmetics, what else can I do?

I think progression is shallow right now. I somewhat disagree about consequences for failure, though. If you die and your ship sinks, it's not a big deal. If you lose your treasure, though? YOWCH.

Yeah but if someone jumps you and kills your entire crew, you can just respawn on the ship (if it hasn't sank) so it doesn't feel like you lose anything. Also, you don't get anything for attacking, unless they happen to have treasure that you steal...

Wait, so we are agreeing, right? I was responding to @TisCaydiem saying that consequences for failure are "severe".

I was sayin' people want severe consequences, not that there really are any. Losing your treasure sucks, but it's just a little time, as opposed to people requesting that you have to earn a new ship and such.
