I think Shipbreakers is the first time in a while I've just bounced off a game I see a lot of people gushing over. The concept is fine though the lolcorp thing is sliiightly overdone at this point.

The interface right now is...woof. HUD so transparent I had to move around to see it all, a grabber that is incredibly unimaginative and annoying, and a scan tool UI that's a headache generator in a screen.

@Doephin

The UI is a cluttered mess, and the fact that it's /timed/ gives me anxiety. Particularly with the controls and the 'oops you damaged it' mechanics which are akin to playing "Operation" with a 300-pound frictionless pitbull on a stiff leash.

Also, I have a fairly capable system, but for some reason it just makes my entire computer C H U G at like 30 FPS.

Combine that with an unintuitive and cryptic set of rules, and I'm inlined to agree. I like the setting and the concept alright, but I'm thinking this one isn't for me.
