Take a look here:

I won't download it though.

But still this is a nice idea... strange...

[Turnsky]

hah!

[Unknown Target]

Would you even want it for free?

I might get it just to look....maybe.

[DaBrain]

I'll wait another year. Perhaps I'll get paid for playing then. ^^

[aldo_14]

Whoo!  Masochism for free!

[Gai Daigoji]

I've heard bad things about the game, but may download for a quick try.

[Taristin]

*refuses to touch it. Not even with a 10 Km long stick.*

[Ghostavo]

Have any of you even played it?

[pyro-manic]

No, but it's reputation, and the reputation of it's creator is more than enough to dissuade most people around here....

[Getter Robo G]

The jury is still out.

Pro... 4 years later damn thing finally runs...

Con... U know..

I took a look.. Interesting toys, now can anyone tell me how to open a .3d file?

That's too much to pay for it.

If you are into very intricate control and gameplay, you should try it.

If you haven't played it, and are bashing it because you don't like the guy, that's just dumb.

The people who like the game, LOVE the game. Personally, I thought it was cool, but I play games to relax, and this one made me work. I am a pretty smart guy, I can figure it out, but it's contrary to why I play (and make) games.

It's got of neat ideas. And now it doesn't cost anything for you to have an INFORMED opinion.

Then again, ignorance is bliss. I suppose you folks would have to go shoot yourselves if you actually enjoyed it.

[aldo_14]

If I enjoyed shooting myself, I probably would shoot myself.  Quite how I'd learn that I enjoyed shooting myself, is another matter.

If you enjoy the uberrealistic detail type of flight sim, like Falcon 4.0, you'd probably enjoy BC:M. If not for the insane micromanagement of it all, I would have. Even then I could have learned to like it, but the interface was just too slow to use. If I could be arsed to memorize all the shortcut keys (or you could pause the game and issue orders still), I'd still have it installed.

[Inquisitor]

Like I said, the people who like it, REALLY like it.

Seperate the art from the artist.

Then again, I am a fan of being informed, rather than rallying around a mob and parroting what other people say about something

[Primus]

I once tried the Battlecruiser 3000AD and it was... Not that good. But I'll give this one a try too.

[Axem]

A long time ago, I tried some free version of the first one, and got bored of it.

So later he released another free one of Battlecruier 3000AD v2.whatever, got bored of that too. Plus it crashed a ton.

Got a friend to, erm... "lend" me a copy of BCM he "had" and uh, surprise, got bored of that too. And it ran like crap on my 1.3GHz machine when it worked fine on a 200MHz... yeah...

Got tired of the series and tried out Privateer and SE:Starfury, might not have been as expansive, but were a ton funner.

I like the idea of the game, but its just too overwhelming, I kept needing to pause the game and look through some help files to figure out how to do stuff. And if that didn't worked, I just kept pressing buttons until stuff happened. Some tutorial would've been nice since we all know how many actually read those manuals.

[TrashMan]

Doesn't look bad from the screens... the graphics isn'+t top-notch, but then again, it's not htat important.

 Damn.  

[Axem]

No kidding. I was trying out all these combinations, and one of them seems to have been the self destruct, and well... it didn't work out so well.

But everytime after that, I when I got bored (or wanted to quit since saving didn't work or something) I self destructed for fun. I think I learnt how to stop the self destruct eventually, but it seems all the crew leaves and you were stuck on an abandoned ship.
