The game's Graphics has changed a lot and as in all games there are some small bugs that are being worked on constantly. Game play is great with massive multi-player action with new NPCs to fight and help you gain more levels faster. Darkspace gives new players a free 2 weeks play to give the gamer a taste of action. Pirates and MI(technical Alien AI) are newly added NPCs to the game to give a new challenge to the game play. Newly added weapon effects with newly added enhancements to help modify your ship to your personal needs.

New ships for new players to help them along the way with earning prestige while repairing other allies ships.(support frig)
With choices between scouts, frigs, cruisers, dreadnoughts. and stations, its a endless battle between 3 factions and pirates and MI getting in the way almost every time.

If your headed our way, Tell them DragonSlayer sent you.
