I just bought the game this morning, and I must say this has been the best space game since Galactic Empires I played on my local bbs.

After I brought it home, I installed it and played until the second story mission. Sadly I had to go to work shortly after I bought the game so now I'm here at work, but my head's in the Sirrius sector!! I work til 11 pm, will get home around 12:15am, and will probably play til 3 am. I've been following the development of this game for 4 years. I was stoked to dl the demo last weekend, been playing as much as I can since.

I can't wait to get home and just explore the galaxy and make discoveries. The story missions seem cool, but I'm going to take my time with this one. It doesn't matter to me how fast I level up, or how much money I can make. What matters is that there is a huge galaxy to play in and tons of stuff to see and discover.

How could anyone complain about the sp story being too short or the combat and ship mods being too basic. It pains me when people set their expectations too high and then get disappointed. I expected a decent space game with a huge galaxy to play in to my heart's content, that's exactly what I got. So what if you can't balance out your shields like in x-wing, or have to wait for the lock on buzzer before you shoot you missles. So what if trent has the same conversation with just about everybody in the bars. So on and on .....

Just my two cents.
