It's so satisfying having gone from 1000 credits and a tiny scout ship, to blasting away alien scum with a small fleet of 1 Frigate, 10 heavy Fighters and a dozen support trading ships and a small factory complex to fund my megalomaniac campaign to dominate the galaxy. This game has flaws and at times it really irritates you but other times you are blown away for example the first time I dropped into the system Rolk's Fate with my new frigate, above this beautifull blue world to a kick *** soundtrack.

I've spent hours on it turning 1000 credits into 70 million credits (just to give you an idea of how much 1000 credits is worth, it will by a few basic goods, and to make your first million you'll need to do a LOT of missions until you can afford a trading ship that you can automate), just bought myself my first capital ship an Argon Cerberus frigate (36 million credits).

It's hard to get into unless you want to speed things up by downloading a script to increase your starting resources, but it's totally worth it. This game is simply sublime with the Xtended mod and Race Fleet response mod and other goodies if you want.

I recommend this game with the Xtended mod to anyone who likes strategic space games on in depth trading games.
