Def. issues with it's presentation, some features are pretty cool. Kind of an ugly ducklng game.
First off, there are a lot of items in the graphics department that need work. the engine flares are really simple looking and things like shields and stuff are pretty dodgy too. There ships look pretty cool, but they're not the typical "spacey" ships you find in games like EVE or anything. Some people will probably think they look weird but I kinda like the styles. Theres three races in the game and they all have a different look to their ships.
The thing that I thought was fun was being able to change the ships around a lot. You can load up the thing with a ton of lasers, boost the engines, tweak the cargo, all that stuff. And it's not like other games where it's only a couple of tweaks you can make to a unit. You can all sorts of stuff to one ship, and then pump out a different ship and it looks totally different. This makes it easy to specailize the units you're using so that they don't have a lot of useless features for what you're using them for (mining, fighting, etc)
I guess it's kind of a two faced problem with this game, because on the one hand it seems like there are some good ideas being implemented here, but those things are kinda killed by the lame graphics. I think if you can get over the whole look of it, the game has some fun concepts that make for a good strategy game. MAybe if they can upgrade this thing like it looks like they're trying to do in the forum, they can bring it more into the mainstream with the graphics.
Overall, not too pretty, but it has some good points if you can look past all that. I guess you could say I like the game for it's personality!
