This is the kind of game that, in the old days, would've come with a cardboard surround and/or soft plastic overlay for your keyboard to show you what all the dang buttons do. I can't remember the last time I've had to do this much pausing and looking at the control-bindings setup screen to figure out how to work the UI.

I mean, it's pretty, and for what it's worth the interface is no more complex than it NEEDS to be with so much going on, but, yikes.

Also, I think Commander Z. Gryphon is going to have to find a line of work that doesn't involve much shooting at stuff. Just navigating is challenging enough, although I have to say I like the composite FTL model they use, where frameshift drive works like both warp drive AND hyperdrive depending on what you're trying to do.
