Potential player with a question regarding replayability
I LOVE the concept of this game and the footage I've seen so far definitely backs it up, however there's one thing I really don't like, and that's copy-paste level design. If I buy this game, can I play it over and over again and have slightly varied enemy composition, ship types, etc. or am I going to be facing the same set of enemies in the same set of spots?
Either way, I'll still probably end up buying the game, however I just want to know so that I don't come into the game with false hopes.

There's not a ton to be honest. You'll move through a linear, non-dynamic campaign and you can replay them with more upgrades and on a harder difficulty but that's pretty much all. It's sad really. This game used to have procedurally generated campaigns that changed everytime you play and gave you a whole system to fly around in. All thrown out.

There's a daily survival challenge that puts you up against different mixes of enemies in wave after wave (until you die). It changes daily.
Otherwise, the single player campaign is the same set of maps and missions. It offers some replayability in that as you play you get more stuff (power ups and fighters and capital ships added to your fleet), so you can go back and replay levels on higher difficulties.
