I was recently playing "Faster Then Light" when I remembered a game I once played. In this game you pick who you want to start off as. Such as a Captain, Merchant, etc. start off with a space ship. You travel around the galaxy and do missions, fight, and hire crew member's. You can also be a merchant where you mainly transport goods and make a profit. You would recruit mercenary's from taverns in space stations. If their moral was not good enough, they could over run your ship. This game was kinda viewed like this. (not actual game)

I also remember it having factions, and each planet was unique. You could go to a planet, and search the surface. The planet could be hazardous, safe etc. Sometimes you would get attacked by unknown aliens on the planet, and you would lose troops. Before you go onto this planet you could pick how many troops came with you. You could also hunt for treasure on these planets. When you would go to a outpost, planet, or encounter another space ship, it would be viewed kinda like this. (again, not actual game, just an example)

I've been dying to play this game, but I can't find it anywhere. Someone pleaaase help!
