Solid product in the mixed bunch of Early Access games. Development is steady and of good quality. So far updates have been well made with a good amount of content and very little gamebreaking bugs. Long-term development goals have been somewhat unrealistic, but everything in the history of this game suggests that the game will be finished in a reasonable amount of time. Here's some pointers for those who want some.

+ excellent shipbuilding possibilities, one need only have a look at the workshop
+ good combat, improving all the time also
+ good resource management
+ decent AI (devs have clearly shown they are capable of improving it even further)
+ massive world
+ for now a very good game for a group of friends, in the future for even bigger groups of people
