This means that players actually do feel specialised in their role, and surviving requires teamwork and coordination. One of the most enjoyable parts of the game, for me at least, is the exclusivity of these skills- the ships systems can be reasonably complicated to manage perfectly, and it is nigh impossible for one player to manage two effectively in combat. The other players serve as pilot, weapons specialist (gunner), scientist, and engineer. One player takes on the role of Captain, who is meant to coordinate and buff the rest of the crew, but ultimately spends most of their time on a power trip because they are the ONLY one allowed in the Captain’s chair. The players select from several entertainingly unique vessels, each belonging to one of four factions (intended to eventually be five).
