Better than elite dangerous. I still have my old old CD and its original case, CD is heavily damaged caused I played this SO MUCH when I was a young little thing. NOTE: You might have to run a patch to get it working! Look it up!

I played this on CD long time ago... in a galaxy far far away... It was an okay space shootout and trading sim game. Quite similar to Freelancer and I like it because, well, I like most games from the extinct Ascaron Entertainment. The graphics is tolerable, the space dogfights are good, the characters are uhhh and the story is below average and very linear. There's only one ship that you need. The ONE ship that rules them all! But after awhile, you get bored of the same repeated actions and missions. Also, I stopped trading because killing pirates will give you more money. As I slog slowly towards the final end, I would only recommend this to gamers who love both space sim and grinding, and have a very low expectation of a game. P.S. - There are more populated planets here than any in Starfield. Also, You will finally meet all the developers from Ascaron at the end of the game, literally. Rating: 61%

Not a big fan of space sims, but this one just works for me for some reason. Most likely because of the atmosphere and the ability to auto lock onto targets.

If you"ve ever played Freelancer it has the same feel, but a bit more limited.
