Awesome graphics, it has speech, it's even non-linear! (It has an optional storyline, and that's what makes it soisome!)
amasing game wasted countless hours playing and getting annoyed :)
The combat interface is clunky and slow, the character creation was thrown together with the utmost laziness (the selectable hairstyles are just thrown onto the default style and they look bad to begin with). "Dr. Ridley" is the only character with average voice acting, everyone else has an uninterpretable Scandinavian accent.
Basically, its a mockup of Star Trek Online's space combat. There are some interesting concepts, like boarding, tractor beams, SOS signals. However, the demo doesn't allow you to play the tutorial for some reason, thus I had little interest in really learning how to work the game's systems.
The presentation is just plain bad. It might be a good game in the long run, but nobody will know if you don't make the opening parts somewhat interesting.
