I feel you may be missing a large part of the game to be honest. I can understand some of the frustrations. However the game isn't complete yet. I am sure that the UI will be tweaked in the future so I deal with it. There is a nice HUD via LUA you can get. I will link it below for you if you want to try it. 1. You can not free mine any tile on sanctuary unless you have a STU on it and you only get one. 2. I have yet to find a place that has no ore. I mine on Alioth, Madis, Thades and their moons. 3. I will agree some things do look different now than in the Alpha vids they showed. 4. Space flight is meant to feel that way unless you keep your speeds down and invest A LOT of money and time into maneuvering elements like thrusters and retro brakes. Recommended to have way more thrust capacity than weight if you want to feel like a high speed fighter. 5. Again I agree that the current UI is a bit sparse and hard to read at times. 6. Yes, it is a sandbox. You have a ton of tools and you are meant to Make the equipment you want to use. (A lot of orgs have some good ships for member use already) 7. LUA scripting isn't a must. Most players I know haven't even touched it yet. I know about the hud I linked below because it just happened to catch my interest. 8. The "Thriving Cities" they were talking about were meant to be made by the citizens (you and your friends) over time. It's a fresh system make what you dream! Space flight and pvp in space is based off Newtonian physics. Design your super fighter and enjoy it. There are some people who would love to be paid in game to design a ship the way you like it. Network, Join an org and explore! As a side note if you have the capacity to make some good money I would recommend a warp drive so you don't have to slow boat the solar system. I will agree that a good portion of space travel is just waiting in a slow line. I do enjoy the reality of it though. There is an org I have seen someone streaming, unfortunately I can't remember the name at the moment, that is focused on the pvp side of space combat. Seemed like a nice group to be honest if that is your cup of tea. I wish you best of luck and hope you find what you are looking for in the game. Just keep in mind this game was meant to be what you "Make it". If you want someone to talk to in game feel free to look me up. My in game name is the same as this forum name. https://github.com/Rezoix/DU-hud
