I can't believe I'm saying this but it looks like a BattleCruiser clone!?!? :D

Finally someone else is going to make a game of this kind. :) This should raise the bar.

I just played a quik little bit. It feels "homeworldy" though you are in command of a specific carrier.

Nothing like the BC series as far as the management of a Battlecruiser goes.

I do kind of like the feel of the game, I've yet to play the second mission that comes with the demo, so i can't yet say how combat is.

Boy, i should really finish writting my paper...  :blah:

Cheers!

It's a good game, especially for open source. I predict it's gonna do well by space-sim standards, but it's not gonna top FS2, or out-sell much.
But, hey, the world's full of suprises :) Best of luck to him, tho! :D
