Yes I can.

Which means it's not a valid complaint to make and disregards other important elements entirely

it could be mocking if stopping aliens was ultimately irrelevant and not the main goal of the game

The Freespace series didn't have you as the "chosen one" you were just a tiny spec in a giant war, it's actually one of the things I found so refreshing about it.
