Well, put your thoughts about the game here.
Personally I think it is a great game, and much time has been put in it. A great 3D engine, without any annoying bugs. And it looks very good.
For the ones unknown to this game. It is game which allows you to fly in a small spacecraft through all kinds of solar systems. Fly to and dock at planets or space stations. And use special Jump Gates to reach other Star Systems. The goal of the game:
To earn credits by accepting missions (main purpose is just to shoot all the bad guys, or good guys, you decide on what side you play) and to buy new weapons, ships, and shields.
I think the systems are well designed. You have the standard habited systems, like New Yorkl, where you have civilians living, and some mining operations. But you have also very special and distance solar systems. Like one with red giant as sun, or even a neutron star.
The feeling you are in space is very real to me. I get my heart beating when I go on suicide flying to the sun, and hearing "Danger, entering Sun corona"
And the story missions are exciting, and bring you to a great plot.
There are only a few minor negative points about the game:
- No gravity, even when you are close to a neutron star, and cut you engines, you won't be drawn to the mass.
- Space looks very crowded qua nebulas in the background, or in the system. To crowded for real space
- The units used for distance and speed are fictional. So they don't give a clue about the real speed or distance.
