There is a complete game play loop. Love that we had to adjust all the parameters to match correctly to do research. The engine button press at first feels very stressful and adds pressure but after awhile I worked out that I can click the button from the door. It ended up being an annoying but manageable thing but the disruption is a good balance from the conducting research.
One thing was that when I was trying to get my head around the rules I had the leaver down for a long time so I overshoot the height of the ship. I had to wait a long time for the ship to fall back into the needed altitude. I gave up after 3 mins of wait rip.
All in all good stress game.
