I played a beta of this game a few months ago and it was indeed very hard to learn all the controls. The tutorial seemed to drag on for hours and there was just too much to comprehend. The game itself was nice but I didn't get much chance to do alot as it was still unfinished. Landing on planets got annoying as I often overshot them when I was at hyperspeed (or what ever it was called) and crashed or I missed one of those landing arrows that appeared on the hud and I approached at the wrong angle and burnt up.
Although the game itself was a little too slow for me. Just took ages to get anywhere and going at hyperspeed to different sectors ended up throwing me over where I needed to go or not close enough.
