I saw a thing on BBC Breakfast about this game. It looks like they have followed the same beginning idea (re early launch) as FE did with ED. Here is a link;

I've played this for a dozen hours. It can be quite fun if the teams are evenly matched. However, sadly there's quite a disbalance between ships, especially when you go up against high level vessels. And since it's an arena shooter, you can't just "go somewhere else" either. In the end it's a competent game that is worth trying out, but it lost its appeal for me quite quickly.
From the many hours i have put into it, ( 33 ) and having unlocked every ship and piece of equipment in the game - i actually would say that they are relatively "balanced". Each upgrade has its positives and negatives, and each ship works better in different situations. Haven't played in a while but the game seemed pretty well done when it finally came out into the light and out of early access.
One thing i heard many complain about was that the assassin was OP, but when i actually played it i found one shotting people very difficult and if they were listing lazily to the left it was near impossible to hit all the shots.
