The game looks good from the reviews but once you play it you will realize what a mess it is. The game is also designed to drive the player insane. 1. Suicidal destroyers, simply put the destoryers can not attack the station without getting themseleves blown up. It doesnt matter that their weapons outrage station turrets. Since there is no awarness of where the enemies are (crappy AI) ships just fly into enemy guns. So you constantly have to babysit them and keep them away from the enemies. 2. Ships flying about doing their own things have no idea that they are flying into the enemy guns. They just fly into them and once they get hit they panic. Its pure nonsense. 3. The AI is horrible. Some ships cant fly though the sector without stopping and trying to fly different ways to get to the highway for example. They do zig zag when finding a path to highway. 4. Xenon is nowhere to be seen. I decided to help them on the east part of the map and took Teladi out but since the game is designed to react to wars, Xenon isnt taking Teladi secotrs because there is no fighting. On the west part of the map Xenon is not able to fight back because overpowered Hop and Ant took all their sectors and destroyed all Xenon. 5. Its been more than 5 years and the game still does not have the Ignore setting under the pirate haressment. This is ridiculous and only designed to mess with the player. Most ships could make it to their destinations and outrun pirates if we had them ignore pirates. These are just few points that wont ever get fixed. I dont recommend the game.
