Recommended for the $18 I paid for it, probably nothing more... maybe $20:

+Great soundtrack - gives it the Firefly feeling
+Combat is fun enough
+Different variety of ships to choose from
+Voice acting is great, especially compared to Starpoint Gemini 2

-Post-campaign is lackluster - Dreadnought class wrecks anything within two beam broadsides
-Trading is weird. Traders offer to give you an item for 5k while they offer to buy the same item at 9k. Wat
-Story is super bland - EVERYONE is forgettable; even the last boss is forgettable as I neutroned his ass into oblivion with barely any hull damage.

You control your ship on a 2D plane while the non-capital ships have 3D movement. Feels like AssCreed Black Flag naval combat in space - could be a negative for some but nevertheless, still fun.

tl;dr: Not GOTY content, but enjoyable at the pricepoint - realistically can enjoy it for about a week before moving onto something else
