Gonna try it out a bit later today! The videos gave me Expanse vibes and it has alot of the fancy bells and whistles I want for space combat. Edit: Okay; I tooled around in it a bit and so far it seems incredible. Newtonian movement in space, it looks like they have systems for mass having an effect on movement/maneuver (weapons/loadout have mass differences prominently posted, lots of statistics on weapons gives me great hope for future diverse loadouts), got a few mission loops in place and multiplayer. The graphics are pretty solid and I like the ship designs quite a bit of the pair I have seen. I have a criticism where I could not bind the Control/Ctrl key as a bind by itself but that is something they can add I am sure. I have not played X4 in a minute (letting that cook a bit longer with mods before I dive back into a new campaign) and SC has been a bit lacking for me since MM dropped. Even tooling around for just a half hour in training in this game was a breath of fresh air. I miss having to do the ol' flipperoo to slow down and the space flight model felt crisp. There are some stations and asteroids to buzz so far. Folks should check it out! Edit edit: the controls are relatively simple with very few binds, the ingame MFDs and interfaces KICK ASS, this game F#@&s.
