The fact that you start with 30 energy points means that you better get farming and you better plan your energy tank pickups carefully.

I can respect all your other points but there's just no excuse for this. It was shit game design. End of.

I’m sure this won’t look like a quote because I’m on mobile, 

but I guess I can concede that point. It’s certainly something that these days could have been fixed with a patch. Instead we had to wait for the obviously much better Zero Mission. But still, for me, this difficulty didn’t make me hate the game or not want to play it. Farming for energy is kind of meditative anyway. Seriously, I always enjoyed it. It’s just like RPGs with their grinding. Sometimes the repetition is satisfying an auto-pilot, mindless drone kind of urge that we can all have sometimes. 

But I’ll agree that it could have been made much better by allowing you to start with at least a full etank after you die.
