I get this strong feeling the developers are Escape Velocity Nova fans trying to reinvent the series in modern times. I'll keep my eyes on this, but that's a hell of a legend to live up to.
I cant find INSS-1 D: Where is it?
Nice game, thought the Basic Combat tutorial doesn't seem to work for me. There are no instructions nor indications to tell me what to do. Is this normal?
This game is very fun, have a good music and realy good gameplay.
I give 10/10!
i dont care about graphics. as long as the game is fun. i like it.
Woah, I did not notice this game on Desura! I used to play it when it was not and I forgot all about it, awesome game :), Only thing is that I don't like is the UI graphics.
Is there any way to have the ship point at where ever your mouse is located?
That would sure make flying, and combat, a heck of a lot easier and fun.....
Press in the middle mouse button.
I really agree with you, combat is quite hard, specially if you are in a freighter-like ship... Perhaps using the mouse or a joystick could improve gameplay...
I sense Escape Velocity influences within my midst... :D
You are awesome for making a game like this! I was a HUGE fan of EV and when they stopped making the series I was absolutely devastated! You have brought me hope into enjoying a game just like it, I hope you'll keep on this awesome path!
What are your intentions in respect to features in the game?
