Yes, the graphics look just like that.

In a nutshell, the game takes place in the future and the way to get money is to mine asteroid fields, do courier missions, or do assasination type of missions. Even like encountering rouge drones happens. In the game you warp to different constellations, take jump gates to go to other solar systems.. it's just awsome.

There's no bullshit like in other MMORPG's where you have to sit there.. and attack and attack and waste your life gaining levels.

The way to get better ships, weapons, etc. You tain in them.

Ok what's the difference? Let's say I want my mechanic level to be trained. So I click train, and in 3 hours it'll be complete. Ok that leaves me time to go off and do other things like get more money or explore or whatever.

Not only is that cool, but you can actually LEAVE THE GAME and it keeps training in it! That's right, you can turn your computer off, go to bed, and in the morning it's done.

The only downer is, because of how awsome that is, they can put in some pretty lengthy training times. Like one of them goes for 1 Day 11 Hrs 15 Mins. That's for the mid ranged level ones! The high level ones go up to 6 Days, to 11 Days!

It's pretty worth it though in the end. The game is incredible, you can put insurance on your ship so you can get money back if it blows up, you can make clones of yourself so you don't lose your skills that you've trained in. It's awsome.

Tell me what you think of the video guys!

I also forgot to mention, that when you start like a "Guild" or a Corporation is what they call it, you can actually make space stations for your team to go to. Fucking awsome if you ask me

its kinda like Freelancer huh. i remember a few years ago our buddy had a Freelancer universe hosted on his server. you could log in at any time and thered be quite a few people in there, and the universe would keep running non-stop.

i try to stay away from the MMORPG games like that since i know i could very well become addicted.

This one isn't too bad, you can leave the game and come back later.. poof your trained skill is done

I've got a buddy that used to be big into that. It's sounds pretty neat whenever he talks about it. I've thought about getting into it, but I have real trouble dropping a monthly fee for a game.

yea paying every month blows, they should give you the game free if they expect you to pay, most stop playing in 4-5 months so it would nearly even out.
