Yep. I won't say you HAVE to craft stuff (I mean I only played through the game once and I crafted) but the drops are pretty crap compared to what you can, eventually, craft.

And they really go out of their way to make crafting as shitty as possible. IMO anyway. Granted I am not a fan of crafting in RPGs at all.

So far I just haven't needed "the best gear in the game" to kill anything that I have encountered. And that includes dwagons. Might change later, when I reach the endgame. But these games are so casual (which is fine by me) that I doubt it.

You will be afraid.   

EDIT: the basic game is casual, except for a few fights (a couple of dragons were really, really, really hard), and I found that the ennemies don't really scale to your level, at some point, you use an assassin or a mage and the fights are over in less than 30 seconds.   However, once you hit the DLCs...well, ask Valmy, I think he'll describe it in a way that I could never achieve

That wascally dwagon!

Do I dare get my hopes up? I've always wanted a carrier deck flight ops management game

But it is Matrix and those eurotrash antisemite cossack sluts at Slitherine.

Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm...

But can you manage the deck of the Nimitz-class nuclear powered supercarrier, the USS Ronald Regan (CVN-76)?

Carrier Deck is a fast paced time management game where you will play as the Air Officer on board a CVN-76 in the midst of active war. You, alone, are responsible for all aspects of operations involving aircraft on the ship and you'll need to work fast to ensure everything happens in time for the highest chances of warfare success.

Load the right planes and helicopters up and ready them for the required military missions. Manage both launching and landing the planes, avoiding crashes that could spread throughout the deck wrecking multiple planes and damaging the ship.

In Carrier Deck, you'll manage a staggering array of aircrafts including the F18 Hornet and Super Hornet, Chinook and S3 Viking, through a campaign that covers the oceans all over the globe. Test your skills in a full spectrum of operations across the globe in extensive campaign mode, or just try the Skirmish mode for a quick challenge.

Features

    1. Full management of the flight deck incl, moving, fueling and arming of aircraft
    2. Aircraft maintenance and management of the hangar deck
    3. Selecting and launching of search missions to detect enemy air, surface and submarine threats
    4. Tasking and launching of intercept missions
    5. Special Forces deployment and Amphibous operations
    6. Ground strikes and close air support missions
    7. Receiving and dispatching cargo missions
    8. Full range of aircraft and helicopters onboard from fighters to early warning and detection aircraft.

That's not what a real air ops officer does (he just carries out the air plan, and makes no decisions as to what launches when, nor does he control the flight deck), but what the heck, it's just a game.

We better keep these awesome game ideas to ourselves, Tamas might steal them.

Slitherine are British.

Edit: It's by the same guys as Vietnam '65. That was a nifty game.
