It looks beautiful and the premise is a good one but it's boring as all hell. I did the beta and quit a few days before it went pay-to-play. What it turned out to be wass not my cup of tea.
Captaining a ship from external chase view guiding it thru the universe with a basic mouse gesture got old on day one. And the space combat is no better. You point your mouse and click on the screen to indicate the direction you want your ship to maneuver and the guns are auto-fire. Nothing for you to aim, arm or shoot. The winner is typcially whoever has the best gear or whoever can get a group of players to gang bang someone.
And the different races and thier sovereign territories mean squat as you can travel to and fro with impugnity.
Can't land on planets. No person-person interaction. The core of the game is flying about space, mining different asteroid ores in order to buy better ships, equipment, skills and abilites. In effect it's a mining sim with space ships and stuff tossed in for flavour.
