I like what this guy has said, I would add my 2 cents after playing for 20 minutes.
Melee weapons should damage terrain as well - I really wanted to eat through a planet with a wall of saw blades and was disappointed that it didn't work.
It seems like the energy system isn't all connected? I added solar panels to my drone as well as and large batteries, but the batteries don't appear to fill up with power from the solar panels. Do I need to directly connect the solar panels to the batteries? If that is so, can I have multiple connections so that they can link and charge multiple batteries? Thanks!
