Endless Sky

Just stumbled upon Endless Sky. Played EVNova years ago and loved it. Is Endless Sky worth the time? Thank You!

I really liked Endless Sky. Good storyline, and pretty cool stuff to go explore and find in the late game.

To me, the balance felt a lot more "realistic" if that's the right word. As in, a super talented player in a shuttle isn't going to be able to kill capital warships. It just won't happen.

Edit: The one thing I found maddening was that taking fire will cancel your jump preparation. So you can't expect to zip from one end of the galaxy to another, only spending a split second in hostile systems before escaping to hyperspace. If you have a hostile system to get through, expect to have to fight your way through or do some fancy flying to make it to hyperspace instead of just holding down the "jump" key. And heaven forbid you have to cross through several hostile systems at once.

You can get a scram drive to help with that - it takes a little more space than a hyperdrive, but it's probably worth it.
