Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The quest dialog is actually fairly good.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I can't say that the story has been predictable, mainly because it's not that well fleshed out yet (if at all), but the gameplay is fun enough that I don't really care too much.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It does not require a killer graphics card and even old laptops can play it with the tweaking of the graphics controls.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The Good: Very enjoyable gameplay, the most pretty of 2D space games I played, the Astoria Ship based on WH40K Mechanicus explorator cruisers, the user friendly interface the lack of thing put onto game to frustrate player and inflate the play time.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

If I choose, I can host my own dedicated server and have friends join in on the fun.
