I agree with hostile raids being waaaay too frequent. I have been playing for a solid 10 hours over the past 2 days much to my girlfriends dismay, and to be honest, all I've done is get blown up tryong to find SOMEWHERE i can mine a little bit.
But EVERY SINGLE TIME I warp into a fresh astroid field, what do you know hostiles spawn in mere seconds after and I have to leave.
OR I get into an engagement and spend an hour trying to repair what I lost, find more freaking captains.
Im really enjoying this game but that combined with my allied ships going way too slow, its a chore to get them through warpgates. Its all kind of frustrating right now.
