Why you might like it

Offers an unmatched scope for a space MMO — seamless ship-to-FPS-to-planetary gameplay across three flyable star systems (Stanton, Pyro, Nyx).
A roughly $45-60 starter package grants permanent game access; nearly everything beyond that, including subscriptions, is optional rather than required.
Every ship in the game can also be earned with in-game currency, so real-money ship purchases are a choice, not a requirement to play.
Regular Free Fly events let curious players try the game before buying anything.
Over $1 billion in crowdfunding has gone into systems (seamless quantum travel, physics-based damage, full first-person interaction) rarely attempted at this scale elsewhere.

Before you play

Things to consider

Still in open Alpha after more than a decade of development; bugs, crashes, and occasionally lost cargo or credits are expected, not exceptions.
Development has run over 10 years past its original 2014 target, and no firm 1.0 release date has been announced.
The optional subscription tiers (around $10-20/month) and higher-priced ship packages have drawn persistent criticism of the funding model.
The learning curve is steep, and the scope of interlocking systems can overwhelm players expecting a finished, polished MMO.
The companion single-player campaign, Squadron 42, has faced its own long string of delays.
