1- you can build stuff.
2- you can improve your built stuff.
3- you can painstakingly design a ship from any sci-fi, comic, movie, book(etc) universe.
4- you can show it to your friends who will be impressed.
5- you can build this ship of yours in a survival server after spending several hours struggling to attain the resources needed.
6- you can forget to turn the dampeners back on after a long flight and run into your dock at near full speed.
7- you you can build a new ship bigger and better than the last because you learned. (hopefully)
8- Ram 2 different huge ships together and watch the simulation speed tank as your graphics card struggles.
9- Once you think you know how to build a decent warship in a survival server you have the option of joining a server with mods so you get to relive the days where you had no clue what that block does but it looks cool so ill slap one on the side anyways.
10- Spend 35 minutes staring into space trying to figure out how your going to start your new ship build, before inevitably deciding to just run about terrorizing your friends.

this game is primarily for people who love to be creative. if you enjoy space games where the ships are what you make them and the combat doesn't suck. this is your game.

PROS:
-Script Support.
-Huge modding community.
-Huge range of ways you can build.
-Fun physics moments like launching mechanical parts at your friends using the power of god himself.
-Low building skill floor with a skill ceiling as high as you want it.
-Chase your friends around with an angle grinder.

CONS:
-Recent updates have been primarily cosmetic DLC with little gameplay change. although DLC has been fairly high quality for a low price. (not really a CON i guess, just a note on the current Development Status)
-Lag spikes and low FPS during combat with larger ships or multiple ships at once.
-Game doesn't want to let me duct tape hundreds of custom turrets with custom turret controllers to my ship and have them actually work. (this might be a me problem for wanting to use that many)
-Certain blocks have wonky hitboxes.
-Sometimes the wrath of Zeus, Klang and whoever else is feeling bored at the moment will make your ships spontaneously combust if you use moving parts incorrectly.(can also be considered a pro. its amusing at times)
