Sadly I do not recommend this game, several reasons is it is not a true Space sim, more a combined 2D / 3D hybrid pseudo simulator. Which the screenshots do not reflect of what you are really seeing.

The game starts off great for an alpha, but then after looking at a 2D map for a majority of you time traveling around the universe you soon realize you are cheated a space sim, and are just given some 2004 recreated game with shiny 'orange' graphics. In short, its pirates of the 7 seas hosted in space with some small 3d shoot outs included. And when I mean small, I do mean small, combat is limited to short range dog fighting where I found myself sometimes bumping into the other ship. Not really dog fighting but more 'get as close and blast first' to win.

The devs did make progress with missions and cleaning things up, but what killed it was the devs have decided AGAINST making a 3d map/space instance of the game but having a 2d travel map (with ice skating) mixed with 3d instanced zones. This is a buzz kill as you lose a lot of tactics in 2d as there is no X Y Z and just a chess board field to skid on.

Since this news has been released I decided it’s not my cup of tea and have found other games more entertaining and worth value over this. I would strongly recommend looking at other games that are on the horizon over this game if you are looking for a real 3d space sim as I find this game will not become the space sim people are looking for.
