Well I played through the campaign and it was pretty fun until:
the enemy started acting like complete idiots and the FRED missions were so stacked in the players favour so as to be unlosable. Like the big "battle of endor" in the asteroid belt, when both the Orions become invulnerable who do you thinks going to win? Or what's so great about the Solaris? It can't even take out an Orion on its own. And yeah the Solaris has beam turrets but so does the Orion so what makes it so great? That its better than the Zagreus or whatever it's called in ED? And then the Galaxy arrives RIGHT after the Solaris gets killed, maybe they should've arrived 5 minutes earlier to help it out. And then again attacking the Galaxy with four Cruiser, and two of them are set to invulnerable. I don't know if I saw a friendly ship actually die before the last mission, unless of course I was specifically supposed to be guarding it. Like if there's a trap, sprung by the enemy, make the friendlies actually take some losses instead of having them all survive (as far as I could tell). Oh wait, one Cruiser died. When it entered the blue zone or the red zone or whatever and exploded for some reason. . . . And the enemy is quite frankly a bunch of morons, like the one mission were the player attacks a cargo depot in captured fighters. Okay, that could work, but then they call in a friendly cruiser for reinforcements. It's like "Oh, we're getting attacked by the Arabs! Damn them! They stabbed us in the back! Oh what the hell, wait, wait a second, here comes an Earth cruiser. And the two of them are working together . .. maybe they're not Arabs after all." But anyway, was pretty fun except for all that.
And yeah, I know, disregard the demo because it's all changed now with yadda yadda yadda. But for the demo on its own, the above applies.
