Saw this game going cheap in Woolworths the other day, so I figured, what the heck.
It definitely looks interesting. Spaceship fighting a la Wing Commander, but with a sandbox element, and the ability to slowly build up your own collection of factories and a fleet. Sounds good to me. I love sandbox-style games
I managed to get it installed and have a quick look last night. The lack of a paper manual, and proper tutorial was a bit annoying, but once I found the PDF version and had it beside me, I soon got the hang of the basic controls. Hopefully picking up the aspects of trade and ownership will be fairly simple. I can hopefully fend for myself in flight and combat for now anyway. The graphics are damned pretty though. Must get some screenshots sorted out for the blog.
