Yeah, I checked this out yesterday. It's a pretty cool game. Seriously in need of a graphical and audio update though. They're worse than in Subspace which came out like in 1996. Also a bit too easy to make money. I spent an hour or two making urgent delivery runs in a heavy shuttle and made like 400,000 credits. Saving up 1 mil for a IDA Frigate and I'll deck it out before I do any of the storyline missions

I used to play Escape Velocity Override when I had a Mac. I'll have to check this one out for sure.

Though I must say, there's nothing quite like taking out the Voinian Dreadnought in a cloak-equipped UE Fighter.

got a registered copy, i remember when i was in my drugged up racing viper, the speedbreaker, had to get rid of the guns, only had a ir missle launcher, took up the rest of my free space with batteries so i could jump like 6 times to complete a special mission worth 50k. Fun stuff, especialy with the nova mega cheat *evil grin*

@FF: The registration fee is $30... but I need to know in £! If I play it and get hooked...

EDIT: Way-ay! Promotion! *Cue Toejam and Earl Fireworks*
Only been here about 2 weeks, advancing fast through the ranks.

If it wasn't for the inky blackness of the night you wouldn't appreciate the brilliance of the stars...

Kind of got boring on the second day. Once I got the Vell-os Arrow there wasn't anything that I couldn't fight without losing. Btw, I absolutely hate that when you take that mission in the bar that starts the Bureau missions, not only can't you stop but you can't even buy more equipment. I had to do all that crap in a little Heavy Shuttle with no guns.
