I downloaded Diaspora about four days ago via torrent, found after weeks of looking for a space sim to play (I started by trying to run X-Wing v. Tie Fighter on my mac :S, very frustrating).
I am a huge BSG fan and space flight sims are easily my favourite games to play so when I found this I nearly died of excitement. The look and feel of the show was captured perfectly, the gameplay is exceptional. I bought a joystick for the sole purpose of playing this outstanding game! Your attention to detail does not go unnoticed, the gameplay is delightfully challenging. A few bugs here and there of course, but overall I'm ecstatic.
