The game is good and the quests are logical. The problem is, if you don't have a bunch of friends to help you learn to play you are hosed. The elitists sit on the docks of the outpost, board your ship, kill you, and take everything you have spent the day gathering.
So if you are not willing to go in the game and stay at a low level until you find a crew that will play when you play, move on to another game, you will just keep losing everything.
