Remember how you could defeat an entire Federation carrier fleet while piloting a Pirate Valkyrie in EV:N? Fun, but absurd. It's annoying, and there's no getting around that although it's worth noting that the main reason you could pull that off in EV was by virtue of ridiculously overpowered gunboat-sized ships crammed full of ridiculously overpowered outfits, which isn't possible in ES. Yes, it's true that fighters are cannon fodder, and you aren't going to be reenacting Top Gun or Wing Commander in this game. With the sole exception of there being only one campaign storyline (a storyline, however, that is noticeably superior to any individual storyline in EV:N), Endless Sky is an improvement on the Escape Velocity formula in every conceivable way. You can't even begin to understand what you're missing out on.
