Not being able to see far enough in front or around you hurts the experience, in my eyes. It's a solid game otherwise (yea, perhaps too many planets scattered about), just that it's hard to last for very long when I'm almost literally blindly stumbling around the galaxy...
Seeing the warping visual effect around the black holes was refreshing- I don't see that sort of warping capability that shaders can do leveraged all that often- but the way it twists the view doesn't seem right, and the way the gravity amps up really quickly also doesn't seem quite right. I've been trying to orbit one for a while now and it's just not happening!
