Not sure why but it feels smoother than the last version I played, which was maybe from 6-7 months ago. Boosting and flying around with the mech is still fun. Played 4 levels including the imsim one and I enjoyed the ones with a more straightforward objective (got lost on one level and didnt know where to go) Looking at other reviews here, I also felt that it may be a good idea to start focusing on the best parts of the game, which is mech maneuvers and testing different weapons. Having different missions as opposed to a straight up arcade gameplay is cool though. Maybe with the "im sim" approach, you can have a hub area to go upgrade/ customize your mech inbetween missions instead of doing it debug test style as the game has it now. I wonder if you could have some sort of a currency you earn with these missions, that you can spend inbetween missions to unlock things. Nuke is my favorite weapon, it's so ridiculous and fun.
