I've just spent a few hours on the demo and I've only 1 impression... mid-space collisions!!
After a while it really stops being funny and turns into nothing but pure frustration. Even a fighter running into my fully armed cruiser III would strip off the whole shield, all 600+ points of it. And for all the combat experince they have gained my crew doesn't even know how to avoid a PLANET while their captain tries to sit back and relax with time compression! Collision damage is way too severe. If something is going to let the game down, this is it.
