Folding? With something so heavily BSG inspired I would have accepted jump.
As I said there is a STRONG BSG inspired soundtrack.
Goes all Asian techno when you get the SS0 NTTAWWT
On closer inspection the graphics / models are a bit simple.

J-

Dug the BSG-inspired soundtrack
One of the best looking games on Linux

P-

Graphics jacked all the way up, except for Anti-Aliasing, using the Open Source Gallium3D driver and the game is still silky smooth. Thumbs up!

Control

V-

You need a controller with the SS0.
Auto-lock is not a “feature” it’s a requirement.

J-

Keybaord controls for the fighter mode are quite hectic
Found myself needing to switch inputs every time I transformed in order to make the game sane

P-

Sweet Black fucking Sabbath! SSZ introduces the change in controls, between ship and Strike Suit, the same way a crazed horse introduces its turgid dick.

FUN

V-

It’s fun once you get use to the SS0 and borrow a friends dual-hat controller.

J-

Moar strike suit!
Very much agree with pedro. Escort missions are fucking awful and this game has a lot of them
Can definitely see the potential it has to grow on me
