Definitely an improvement over the broadside only aspect but has lots to improve on. The biggest problem I'm having is navigating when the mouse cursor isn't centered on your target reticle then it pulls you in whatever direction the mouse cursor is not on center making it very difficult to fly or fight. The story element and background music gives it a sort of "old west" ambience ala firefly.
The simplicity of spaceflight in this game is simple, yet frustrating. Not being able to fly fully on the x/y axis and not being able to maneuver in any other ways. Its a double edged sword on that though so if you want functional yet simplictic, this is 4 you. But if you're looking more for flight sim ... this would be a no. The storyline making this into a sort of "space western" with the music and dialoge was a nice feel. I do recommend that the devs make a flight sim version 4 the fighter junkies
