They introduced a solo universe, so you can be sure to fight 1:1, thats fair and fun. If you lose a fight it is not the end, the winner can loot your body, looting your scout ship is possible, but already a challenge with efforts.

But with the current dev crew of YouTuber, Troll, Deathsquad veteran and Megatribe lovers it is full fail.
