The cockpit perspective is hamstrung by the need to frequently pick things up with your ship's grabber-a graphically satisfying thing if seen from the chase camera as magnetic field lines fill and distort the screen, but which completely blocks your view from the pilot's seat, making it all but impossible to use. Turning off inertial dampening for a more Newtonian approach to propulsion, and moving into first-person view, makes Everspace 2 a more tricky proposition. Enemies come in waves of about five, with another batch of targets appearing nearby once you've taken one group down, giving you the option of going after them or not. It can feel as if the entire galaxy is against you, filled as it is with foes, including bosses and elites. Combine this with homing missiles, and it can be hard to miss, though chipping away at a ship's shields while making sure your own recharges, and avoiding incoming fire, is a skill in itself. Luckily, there's a generous lock on, leading fire indicator, and aim assist (which becomes stronger if you're using a gamepad). Enemies are fast, and combat doesn't become the turning contests seen in Freelancer where you latched onto an opponent's tail and followed it wherever it went until it exploded.

Ship handling is distinctly arcadey, with full 3D movement and the ability to precisely jet up and down, which comes in very handy when squeezing through small gaps.
The way this ties the crafting system into your progression in a more engaging way than collecting 10 mushrooms for the leader of a guild means it's much less likely to be ignored. Or perhaps you can, as investing a little time and resources at the crafting table can remove that level cap, allowing you to bolt on higher-level equipment and come out all guns blazing. So when you find something new to strap to your ship, you'll have to compare its prerequisites to your level and perks, as you might not be able to use it. XP feeds into your level, which determines the strength of the enemies you face as well as dictating the gear you can use. These delays don't affect the pace of the game as much as they make changing weapons something you'll plan rather than doing on the fly. It's a lot to keep track of, and if you're burning through missions and changing your weapons frequently, the short time delay while a new module is winched into place becomes something to watch out for as it leaves you unable to fire. These need to be charged before you can use them, like a Street Fighter super, and there's a recharging shield (some only charge when you boost) armour plating nanobots to make repairs damage limitation devices and modifications for your weapons so they do more damage, disable shields or earn you more XP from a kill. Most ship upgrades come in the form of new guns, secondary weapons such as homing missiles, and special attacks like a static electricity surge that can knock out nearby vessels. New ships can be bought from bases with ship dealers, but you'll need a lot of credits. Maybe it's something absolutely terrific you've never seen before.
It might just be scrap metal or trade goods, but it could be a new gun or a missile refill. Shoot down a pirate, open a chest (though since we're in space they're cargo containers) or come across something randomly floating in the void while roaming around, perhaps the remains of a transport ship that exploded long ago, and you'll get some rewards.
