This game is really boring. I have only played 3 hours and am still getting used to the controls and trying not to fall asleep during the poorly acted cutscenes and the already repetitive navigation. I have done 3 missions and had one fight, which was not even meant to be a fight. A deus-ex-machina mystery ship came in and destroyed my assailants indicating there would soon be a tired plot to accompany the unecessarily steep learning curve and stupid in-system travel. This is the first of at least 10 space flight sims I have played that I already dont like. It throws away most of the good ideas built upon most recently by privateer and tries unsuccessfully to make up their own. Did you notice you can play a FPS immediately out of the box these days, and you dont mind? Future space sims need to learn from that. I like plots! from wing commander 1 to privateer, i liked every one. This game is also the first failure. I am already too bored to enjoy the rest. This game was a waste of my money. IF you get off on learning a totally new way to navigate and like C grade cutscenes - try it. I dont understand the good reviews of this failure.
