A nice gem been added to the site.

I played that game a long while ago and very little keep it from going to the rank of perfect 5 on 5 game. A must try for about anyone. k:

This is the kind of strategy/RPG title I really like: apparently open-ended, though there's a goal (of sorts) and a lot of smaller missions along the way. Combat was frustrating, as I recall, with the keyboard not responding fast enough to input. However, that was years ago, when the title first appeared. I'll probably try it again, now that you've got it available. I remember being entertained by the personalities of the different space races you encountered, and the variety of tasks available.

It was published by Gametek, a company that grew rapidly and (after a short introductory period) didn't provide reviewers with product. I was told once by one of their PR reps that they only needed advertising in the magazines and branding to get sales. Their problem was that they entered the game field suddenly, so they didn't have branding, and their games were too uneven (all made by outside developers) to generate huge sales by ads, alone. They imploded soon after. It wasn't a great loss, because they never gave an impression of being more than a corporation making money off game sales: a sort of precursor to today's mega-super-giant-uber-gaming companies who care far less about innovation and quality than fluctuations in the their stock on world exchanges.

just line up the crosshairs and fire when they go orangey triangley! also make sure you're trying to shoot the bad guy
yeah the combat seems rather 'hands off' there are games with much better combat in space.. but in terms of scanning and navigating and trading its seems a lot of fun.. like you would imagine a real spaceship to be. a real spaceship would just have a computer do all the combat, so i guess they stopped short of that at least

well, this isn't a simulation, you know , the combat is simple, but easy. I, I mean, just think of spacecraft. you need two things. first, to win in space, you need skill, "Wing commander" is perfect example. second, you need good ship and weapons, "Wing commander" and "Project nomad" is perfect examples. while (at least i think so) "starwars x-wing collectors addition" need skill, "Project nomad" need weapons, and "Wing commander"- both (if you don't know how to fight, you never stand a chance against jhaltky (or how they're called ...), but, if you don't have good weapons, how do you expect to destroy kilrathi battle cruiser?).
