How does this compare with EV:Nova?

Why do you say Starfury has better combat and ship design? How is it different from EV Nova?

Thanks for the replies so far

They play similarly enough, but the differences are pretty big. My biggest beef with EV:N's combat, is you can fire off the screen but can't target off-screen without scrolling through everything on the map.

The ship design in EV:N consists of "You have X tonnage, Y weapon points and Z turrets. Fill as you will" with upgrades tossed in. Starfury's is quite a bit more detailed, and where you place components actually matters for internal damage (EV:N has no internal damage- you get to 10% HP and are disabled, end of story)

EV:N does have pirates that act like pirates, though. They disable you, then loot you and leave you.
