Im all interested in this game, but after reading up on this game, its ****ing hardcore man. Theres so much crap you can do, and have to take care of you might as well be an actual space pilot.
People pillage, and steal, and pirate, and form alliances, and hire assassins, and theres bounty hunters, etc. Almost EVERYTHING is managed by the players, with the Devs hardly ever stepping in to stop anything and letting their massive universe run its course. The players alliances and factions are always fighting over space, and its economy is controlled by the players.
If you pick off some little ship and your all happy, you can expect his buddies to arrive in their bigger meaner ships to splatter your ship across the face of a moon.
Hell some people make real money off this game. You can buy game time cards with in game currency, which you can sell for real money. All under the table stuff mind you. There was apparently some huge assassination that went down costing a company over $10 000, cause they slowly worked their way into their faction over like a year then took out their leaders ship or something. Its freaking crazy.
It seems like something awsome to get into, but totally overwhelming at the same time.
Check out the sheer size of the ships.

The little tiny dots in the upper right are the starting ships. Those MASSIVE ships are ones that only huge factions can afford. Apparently theres one type of ship thats only ever been made 4 times.
This is the kind of game where there actually are people who are feared by all. Like in TV shows where they parody online games, people go OMG THE BLACK KNIGHT PLAYER! THAT GUYS A LEGEND!, Ive never seen an MMO where thats actually possible. Theres always those bastards that play all day every day that are better than you and theres thousands of them. But in here you can become the black knight player that everybody looks up to and respects as you lead your alliance of 50 huge ships into battle.
