This is definitely a "wait until things are patched to buy" title.
Here are some of my complaints:
1. The keyboard controls cannot currently be rebound though a dev in the forum said "they are working on it". No ETA given.
2. Despite being set in space, there is no 6DoF. Lateral movement is not available nor is single axis vertical movement.
3. While FoV is adjustable, the hood on your star truck requires constant pitching to see things right in front of you since it takes up almost 1/4 of your forward looking view.
4. The trucks in ATS and ETS are exceptionally more maneuverable. The titular star truck handles like an overladen garbage scow in a tempest.
5. Lining up your truck to jump through a star gate is a little finicky and sometimes maddeningly annoying when you're hauling a load due to number 4. This matters because you'll be jumping to a lot of different systems and places to deliver loads.
6. Backing up in to delivery spots is...challenging. I've backed in bumper pulled, loaded 40 ft trailers with less difficulty. The containers you haul don't pivot at the connection joint as you would expect. They pivot far aft of it like the pivot point is set at the rear of the container. Also, the yaw rate is ridiculous given the poor handling. Correction becomes overcorrection in the blink of an eye.
7. Lining up to jump and some AI truck rear ends you? That's your fault. Enjoy your loss of income.
It's a noble effort from a two person team and you can definitely tell that a lot of love, passion, and drive went in to making the game. It just needs more refinement.
