Star Wolves

I was browsing the internet recently, and I happened upon a game called "Star Wolves". It appears to be a non-linear space-combat RPG similar to FL. The graphics look good, but I haven't seen a lot of details about the storyline. The URL for the homepage is here, and here is a link to a large number of in-game screenshots. Thoughts?

Me Speaka No Russian

It looks like FL on graphics-steroids. It seems different in only a few aspects: 1. Squad-based combat (Wonder if you could do that over a LAN) 2. Graphics 3. Lack of such a varied universe with tons of groups and confusing politics. 4. Jump Holes? Systems? One system would cause a lot of memory usage. 5. It's in RUSSIAN!

Edit: The site was not in Russian, the game was.

Christmas, is that a BF1942 mod or something?

I don't know which site you're going to buddy, because the link I have posted isn't in Russian! That's why it says '/en/' at the end. *Shakes head*

Doesn't look much like FL to me. As far as I can tell you don't actually fly the ships, you just tell them where to go and what to do. Granted the ability to buy and upgrade ships is similar to FL but if the core gameplay is different, well...

Still, it could very well be a fun game but, as it's a foreign game, it will probably fall victim to the typical foreign game problems i.e. horrible voice acting, incomprehensible manual, poor support if you don't speak Russian, small community (if you don't speak Russian) and so on.
