Judging from the screenshots, looks kind of meh. But you know, graphics aren't everything. Is it worth downloading?

Yeah - you can land on planets, mine, tractor salvage, trade - it ain't all about graphics. It's only like a 35 mb download, too.

Is the planetary tranistion seamless, like Everchron Renegades?



Also the PVD Typhon is rolling in it's grave based on that fighter/whatsit with the same name.. :lol:

It's an Elite clone, judging by the screenshots. So that'd imply being able to fly inside the atmosphere.

Yes, you can fly to planets seamlessly and inside their atmosphere

Looks interesting, but I'm too wrapped up in Uni work to handle the learning curve atm, maybe try again after the end of the term :)

It really seems to be a pain in the ass to do just about anything.
