>uhh you hit your head and you are a part of a group of explorers and you need to find mcguffins. by the way there was an epic galaxy battle that happened right before you started playing, want to hear an audio log about it?

as someone who REALLY gave it a good chance it's the story and lore that just really fucking make it stupid. the parts are not bad but it's SUCH BORING lore it's unreal. It ruins the immersion. basically nothing you do matters and you are not allowed to go off the rails at all because Emil is a lazy piece of shit that can't write branching narratives. the fact that there isn't even a counter faction to constellation that you can join instead is insane. all the other factions are just completely optional quests that don't tie into the main story at all. it would be so easy to make the pirates a legit "evil" faction but they are so fucking neutered it's ridiculous. the entire big plan with them is just hurrr get lots of money. they hire you and you have GODLIKE POWERS OVER TIME AND SPACE AND A MAP TO OTHER UNIVERSES and that's the best they can think to do with you, steal money.
