After giving it a few spins, I've liked it outright!

Im not sure how long it will be available to get for free, so get it as soon as you can :)

works as well, you just need to add it to your games library, you may install it at some later point.

Post by: ScottFreeCapital on April 17, 2015, 12:23:04 pm: I tend to veer away from Early Access stuff. I like to let games get finished. For this same reason - I probably won't put any of my own projects on early access. Having said that - wow, the game sure looks pretty with its UE4 engine graphics and has the potential to be crazy amounts of fun. I'll be following its progress for sure.

Now I just need people who can tolerate my sloth-like reflexes and complete lack of knowledge of the game mechanics long enough to learn how to play it ;)

Yes i tried that but couldn't remember my steam password. Might as well download it when in front of my laptop.

Post by: bigchunk1 on April 17, 2015, 11:18:14 pm: I tried it. It's worth downloading just because it's a space game. It has support "healer" ships in it. :ick: It's also monitised. You gain xp for playing or you can pay money to just get xp. You know, that old chestnut.

It's worth a few minutes to get a feel for what it's about. It is fun, at least that's my first impression of it.

Post by: pecenipicek on April 18, 2015, 05:13:23 am: so, insert any and all f2p mmo mechanics, except its not a f2p game really and is still in development?

i'll give it a try with baited breath :)

[edit] plays kinda like freelancer, except slower, less dakka, visually pretty-ish, but since its all grey on black on brown on black on occasional splotch of orange, its a bit annoying.
