Let me just list what is bad, because I have no idea what is good in this game:

1. Alpha hell: Developed for 8 years and still core issues are not fixed.
2. Complex mechancs that force you to build ship in certain (usually visually weird) way.
3. As said in another review: The whole thing is balanced for giant ships. So early game is very difficult and boring.
4. A lot of things are incomplete and just left this way.
5. No story, no _any_ content. So just you build ship... And do nothing.
6. Badly designed UI with glitches.
7. JAVA!!!

Developers have giant plans but progress is not moving at all. I suggest you to look at Avorion instead. It is a lot more close to what SM devs want than SM itself.
