At this point I have to conclude the at least half of the 11 positive reviews are the game makers. The ship handling and combat is a lot like GOF - that is the good part. There are A LOT less things to do and buy. Ships and accessories are extremely limited. There is no story line per say, just tasking so for missions. Side missions are all takes by the same character whichever system you are in. Now here is the part I find painful, the missions are all the same. Protect the Dauntless - no problem. Another mission, Dauntless wants you back - exact same scenario, number of enemies, flight direction, etc.
This game is half finished. Pity, could have been up there with the big dogs.
