You should put some gameplay instead since the Alpha has been released :

sadly my own laziness prevents me from watching these videos to tell you how everything in them is probably overhyped **** and to moan inarticulately about procedural generation. i leave you instead with this picture, and a question: can you truly put your trust in a jaw this huge?

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

It's got tons of commands, just like freespace. You could actually consider this one of those 'too complex to be sold' games, is it a kickstarter or something like that?

I read it had newtonian physics and the like.
A later incarnation had the game actually settled in our known universe, with distances etc as we know them. Just imagine a fly by to Jupiter or one of these freaking huge stars.
Or doing dogfights at 160m/s...the framerate...

Well, but I guess it is to early to say how this turns out and I won't pay 200...pounds or Euro to play the Alpha^^

Yet another space sim? Nice. The Freespace should be upgraded someday like that :).

That's slightly dip****ty stuff to say but I might be wrong. Let me see your own jaw so that I can judge whether or not I should take you seriously!
