You want to turn it successful take some inspiration from things like FireFly, Star𝕴 Trek, Star Wars, Mass Effect, Andromeda(The TV Show), Battleship Galactica and any and all space Movies/TV Shows/video games. Take inspiration from not duplicate.

I can say this in such a big universe with so many "unexplored planets" some being uninhabitable and others that are habitable having human occupiers none the less smh, there are no aliens. As in intelligent civilizations neither friendly nor hostile. And so many limitations on ship building and colony building, is a major problem. They also seem to have no concept of the Goldie lox zone for habital planets. While some in the Goldie ಞlox zone are frozen tundras in the same system they have a moon in the ice burg region that are habital. Hear another thing space suits are designed to take a space walk yet you can well not exactly freeze but catch colds and other cold related issues while wearing your "SPACE SUITE" on a surface of a planet. Realism is important.

The only reason it's getting negative reviews is because it only focuses on a single factioꦏn on a single planet in a universe of over 1,000 planets.Its not really utilizing the big universe y'all created. It's not bad for a spin off game but might want to utilize the universe in hr next one and even add more planets. Oh btw a big downside to the game you only have humans in different factions. All the highly praised space games contain other space bearing civilizations. Some you war with some you work with. Me personally I don't care that much about Aliens I feel a more realistic approach is the best way. That being said you could add the aliens talked about in lore that supposedly visit earth.
