All you Space Grinders out there will like this game. I should have waited a couple of weeks till graduation before I bought this game, I got homework to do. I was looking for a Homeworld 2 replacement and here it is. The barren systems are fun to find habitable worlds to make home. Defending your homeworld against Pirates and other races/opponents is easy with the right strategy of Capital ships and Frigates.

It also can be legally installed on other computers on your home network for LAN based games. CD Key Registration is required for internet play. Single player no CD required to play so there is no CD loading lag. There is some bugs, the big one is with large maps. From the forums I've read since I have the same problem, the game will crash big time! Even with beefy systems! But sticking with small to medium maps, I haven't found any problems. A patch for large maps is needed, my P4 1Gig of RAM with Nvidia 7600 GS card can't handle large maps. So one word to sum this all up PATCH!!!
