It took me a few hours to get into the right mindset and tactics for SPAZ2. Once I survived the initial trawl around exploring and gathering scrap, rez and the occasional light fight, and then discovered that jumping into existing fights to improve my standing with a faction was actually a) a good way of boosting reputation and b) lots of fun, I'm finally in the "I'm hooked" phase. Plus my starbase seems to making good on the scrap trade.

Now I can't go for more than a few hours without considering how to reconfigure my ship layout for better DPS, which star bases to put bounties on to get the most aggro for my competitors and whether I should try and write my initials on the map by taking over the various regions in the right layout.

Bought SPAZ2 during development before the linux version was ready because I trust these guys, which was quickly repaid once the linux version was beta'd. I've had a few crashes but nothing much lost as the autosaves kick in pretty regularly.

Thoroughly recommended if you like some epic space battles, some tasty upgrades and the soundtrack of the MacHammer smacking into the remains of some pirates flaming wreck.
