This game is SO broken, LOL. I love it, but there are so many things wrong with it. Half the skills are nearly useless, and at least two don't work at all. The economy is ridiculous. The big quest lines don't integrate at all. Like there's nothing stopping you from being a Freestar Ranger and a Crimson Fleet Pirate king at the same time other than what your companions think of you. There are currently at least two methods to power farm XP, not including exploits (though hunting Schrodinger III is so lucrative as to approach exploit, and they will certainly nerf it at the next patch). Space combat is so broken that it's nearly impossible if you haven't figured out the tricks, but becomes trivial once you do. Even now at Very Hard difficulty, my Class C fighter is effectively untouchable while it melts opponents in seconds. It should be admitted that my ship is top tier for all its components, and it should dominate, but the game has no way to scale opponents to keep it challenging.
In spite of it's faults, I'm a Bethesda fanboi for life, and I've got just over 200 hrs in Starfield already. I've got to kill another 20 or so ships to get the last level in a skill, then I'm going to see what the New Game+ is about. Overall, though I imagine I'm mostly finished with it.
