    Once you get the hang of the game and it's systems to start beating the AI handily, the game is pretty damn fun.
    But if you're alone, there are pitfalls that can really wreck you.
    The Derelict Ship that can appear can only be explored by controlling a unit. And sometimes it has some really game changing loot too. Only a couple times have I managed to loot the special, super rare Dart Fighter from it. But it's a big upgrade to the regular fighter. It also can have things like 150 Tritanium which can be a huge boost early game.
    Problem is, since you have to do it yourself, and can spend between 8 to 10 minutes doing that, it's not uncommon to leave with loot only to find your frontier system has been overrun and a swarm of ships are descending on your base because while you were playing an FPS, the AI was playing an RTS.

    Each of the 3 factions are definitely unique with their own ships, power sources, research and play styles.
    The Industrial one has nuclear waste that needs to be managed, and dumped off somewhere. But since it creates an AOE cloud of damage that can harm anything, including the container its in, players realized it was very effective to fly the waste to their enemies base, and dump it off there instead.
    This strategy became so well known, the developer coded it into the Industrial AI's own behavior. Which makes playing defensively against an Industrial opponent, an extra hassle. As they will send nuclear waste cargo ships to your defensive lines or fleets, let them get destroyed, and if you aren't paying attention, you can lose a fleet in a couple minutes of that.
    And if you're a "tower whore" like me, who likes to set up defense platforms around jump points to secure your systems, this tactic is extra annoying lol.
    But the good news is if you have a star fighter, you can pilot that, or any other ship, and fly over to the container of waste and shoot it to destroy it. And that will dissipate the waste. Though the resulting explosion can cause damage, so I recommend a cheap fighter for the job, rather than a cruiser or other ship

    There is a game called Machines - Wired for War (the source code for it has been published a few years ago!) which lets you both control the units in the RTS-style as well control any given unit in the first-person view. The thing is Machines was released in 1999. I've always thought that was one of the coolest features and hated that no other RTS has done that (at least I wouldn't be able to name one). It's pretty cool to see something similar here!

      Some VR games come to mind. BattleGroupVR for example. No economy to speak of though, but it's practically the best feeling of commanding a small fleet that I've ever experienced.
      There's also an arena FPS (Think Quake 3 or Unreal tournament with tactical equipment and classes) That's mixed with a space fighting sim. If you're just looking for the chaos of such combat from first person perspective, it's great, but a bit faster. It's called "Angels Fall first".
      Only high production that I know of is the already mentioned X4: Foundations

    This game looks so awesome, adding it to my wish list for sure. Indie games are so nice and refreshing because a lot have really good core game ideas and features, and I don't have to deal with greedy MTX strategies like in some of my other games. But this one having combined arms, space battles, building, strategy, I'm very impressed they managed to put it all into one game. I agree on the FPS could be fleshed out, but I'm still just happy they included it. Maybe you could customize your soldiers like you can ships? Different classes and customizations to enable you make guys like snipers, or upgraded weapons with like red dots.

      The core might be good, but most of the time everything else, graphics, animations or polish, is subpar.
      And there is Infantry customization. You can research new weapons and stuff like personal shields or auto heal for them, depending on the faction you play as.

    I had pretty high hopes for that game when I first saw it around 2 years ago. But sadly it is only a 2D tactics game, with an additional ego perspective. Maybe if the character part is going to be fleshed out it could work for me. But I think that will not happen. It will just add in some ego shooter elements, instead of making roleplay in a sandbox world with a customisable station possible.
