I was looking forward to a game that you could play like freelancer... have better polygons... and some nice game play, while installing it was 6 CDs... And 3 gigs of space, it’s got to be the worst programmed game I have seen in a while...

Once inside the game flying around is ok... your ship moves so slow... and I thought that if you turn off your thrusters that you would drift in that same direction... like in real space but nope... you just stop... not only that but trying to figure out all the keys.. None of them are listed in the book and you have to search though menu’s to find them, o BTW the menu’s lag really bad also you can not pause the game while you’re looking in the menu’s... so you drift in to a station or something and explode on contact.

EvE Online has twice the graphics as this, it runs smoother and it’s a multiplayer RPG... EvE is a 2 year old game and it beats the pants of this one... I think freelancer is even better... as far as the user friendliness goes. I’m taking this game right back if possible and if not I’m going to find some chump to sell it to...

Fair point, it is horribly un-user-friendly, but it's not all bad... link to a review for anyone interested in reading up further:

PS: think the new patch is out now, which is supposed to help smooth the frame rate over...
