Don't be fooled by other reviews that gave this a so-so rating. It's true that the UI is kind-off intimidating at first, but its really cool when you got use to it. It takes time to figure things out since the tutorial only showed the basics. Lets remember that were not suppose to compare this to realtime strategy and zombie shooters. As a Turn-based game, this is actually great.
Nice concept, but has some flaws. Tutorial is kind of useless and you have to learn it on your own. Text is too small and thus hard to read. Early space battles takes too long to kill a single ship. Using mouse for space battles is kind of weird, but if you use joystick controls they are too sensitive, even with its in-game sensitivity sliders. Maybe its cool when it was first released, but if you plan to play this today, there are plenty of other open world exploration games out there.
