I played on release but got bored because the pattern of "burn some rocks, fly to next planet" was unappealing and exploration felt non-existent with everything being vaguely the same averaged out by an algorithm. POI on each planet were evenly spaced out and uninteresting, space combat somewhere between boring and unplayable.
I love the idea of exploring planets, hoping from one to the next chasing a mystery, upgrading ships and encountering alien life. Is the game now living up to this promise? What's the core gameplay like now?
Also is VR any good? I remember trying to play again when VR support first released but it wasn't great and I stopped almost immediat
