Starbase is amazing. The best game of its kind in a generation. The devs are insane, tackling almost every genre at the same time, but... they're doing it. It's working.
This isn't a game you pick up for a few hours and then never touch it again. This is something that will last for years to come. Think in that mindset and all the early-access issues melt away. Then focus on what you do see in game - everything you do see is amazing. There's thousands of custom ships all over the place. Every other game gives you cookie-cutter hitboxes to run around with. You can design your own here. Set up a ship shop. Or not. Get lost in space. There's so much to do - if you can push your mind out a bit in denying yourself the instant-gratification that has been programmed into it from other games.
I am flat out amazed every single time I play Starbase. It is a marvel of software engineering.
