I think the basic mechanics have been implemented beautifully. I quibble about some minor points in the flight model but that's mostly because I'm used to Jumpgate. Which brings me to what it doesn't have - any kind of implementation of the kind of group activities/PVP that I would love to see.

The game world is massive so players don't cluster, and the mechanics for grouping are bare bones at best.

I know that's the ethos of the series - you and your ship versus the enormity of space - but they could make such an amazing multiplayer experience if they wanted to.
