The game probably needs the encumbrance system at least in regard to the ships. Its a big aspect of ship design/upgrading and theres some jobs you can get to haul crazy amounts of stuff. I saw a ship in the shop with like 2000 mass cargo space.

and since those limits can get so high, its not a major annoying inconvenience. Im like 10 - 12 hours in and just fixed up my ship to hold like 900, so its not so bad now.

i get the impression that the character encumbrance will also be less of an annoyance as I progress, but boy the initial limit really hurts the games first impression
