What a mess. I've played on and off since release, and somehow it just keeps getting jankier, the AI more and more broken. Community fixes/mods don't last since they keep rewriting the game a-la-carte.
I really want to try it again, but it just doesn't feel like a "space sandbox" when the AI is so dumb, and I know it'll slow to a crawl by endgame, even on a 7800.
Routine is nearly out?
