I've been itching for something like this since the summer I spent playing nothing but TIE Fighter, and yet again I am a fool for thinking I could ever get back there.

There's stuff I like, but overall it's slow and dull and what the hell is going on with the HUD? Really ugly videogamey information overload. Of course I soon turned all that off and played using the ship's instruments only, which sounded right up my street, but then I got shouted at for not refilling my missiles because I had zero indication where to do that. If someone can point me to an optimal compromise setup then I might stop my grumbling, but as of now I'm still grumbling.

In the first mission I was chasing someone but they got away and the mission just ended and dumped me to a menu. I tried again and pretty much caught them but then there was a cutscene where they got away anyway, and that counted as mission complete. Dumb crap.

I'm sorry to complain about the star war I'm just very disappointed :/
