There is a bit of permadeath lingering in the game, and I can see how some players would rage quit losing a ship, but it makes the game a lot more hardcore, and you REALLY pay attention to what you're doing in combat.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
super fun game, little learning curve, just ask the veteran players if you need anything and let them know your new.
Graphics

By the way I am impressed by the quality of the graphics.
