The game has it's ups and downs but it hits that itch and I love it. If you are thinking of buying this, an FYI it takes a lot of time to play and a little hard to get started if you've never played an X game before, It is a little easier than others though. If you're into spaceship flying shooters as well as strong economy games, this is the game for you. It's worth the full price but, I will say you need to make sure you know what you are buying. Watch videos on it, see the reviews, check out the gameplay. This game is not for everyone. Good luck and fly safe!

The game has stunning graphics and you get a grand scale on how big space is but, also the ease of being able to traverse it.

Recommend having a higher end computer to experience it with little bogging down from hardware but, you should still be able to manage without. It can get choppy late game from the amount of ship you have (I mean in the 1000's) or the massive stations (like HUGE) you decide to build. You'll end up there if you play the game as long as others or I have. Reaching 100,000,000,000 credits will just seem like a drop in the bucket and you'll have mega stations everywhere.

Time is an understatement because you will spend a lot of it... trust me.

Here are gameplay videos if you want to get a general Idea of the scope of the game
