I agree with what Helmut said,
Ive been playing PBC since it was released ( i love the sprites btw, very very well done)
The Orion is a terrible ship to start as due to the starting weapon load out. I can only do so many shots before i flux out and the speed of it means i cannot actively chase anything small and I die to anything that I can chase (destroyers and other bigger slow ships). The interdiction drones are amazing for a starter ship but they are slower than the Orion itself, most of the time they are not even close to my ship.
I only choose PBC as my starting Faction if i want to try hard mode because everything can blow my face up D:
I got no problems with Kratos and i find it a perfect balance with vanilla ships.
overall early game and near mid game is very difficult for PBC. the Orion needs a buff in speed and a OP/ loadout change to be viable. The Drones need a speed buff to stay in "orbit" around the Orion.
If you reach lategame, PBC is very fun but getting to lategame is a massive grind.
