Where's the next part or expansion?!

This game is one of the best space dogfighting games around, it's a great mix of space battles, exploration and trading. The story is good actually, it won't blow your mind but it has enough twists and turns to keep you interested and the end game is interesting and amazing ( that last battle you will NEVER forget). After you finish the story missions( in which i recommend that you use fighter class ships in them) you can do whatever the hell you want. Want to trade commodities? Do it, want to smuggle drugs and illegal artifacts? Do it. You can also hunt bounties but they are a bit dissapointing,the bounties ( which ranges from killing someone, destroying an enemy installation and more) get stale after awhile cause your basically doing the same missions over and over, but it's a great way to earn some money when you're in the middle of the story missions.
It's an amazing experience playing this game ( especially if you love everything related with sci fi or space) the different systems and sectors are filled with secret pirate bases, destroyed ships which you can earn some experimental weapons from them ( think of them like the legendary weapons of some other rpgs) and there are even secret systems which you can discover after you finish the game, great stuff. You also deal with different factions, and when you finish the story missions, you can join whoever you want, do missions for them, trade with them and buy ships and equipment from them. The story missions are a blast to play, they have so much variety in them that you won't be bored with them.
Graphics: The environments look great, obviously it's an old game, but there are amazing vistas to be seen, an space enthusiast dream come true. Ships look great and explosions look great.4.75
Sound: The eerie nothingness of space, laser cannons, your ship's engine, and the great dialogue spurted from people when you take them down or force them to retreat are a great experience. 4.75
controls: The ships feel different from one another and the mouse flying controls are great i never had the temptation to buy a joystick. Great customization of the controls for easy access for the different functions such as shield recovery and hull recovery.4.75
This game is definitely for gamers that love complex games, and this game is going to be enjoyed a hell of a lot more by people that love exploring every nook and cranny, i can't recall how many hours i put in this game JUST exploring the secret systems, finding marooned ships and more. You'll have a blast from the great ( and sometimes intense) combat, exploring everything, figuring out where to buy and then sell commodities, figuring out to get to wherever your selling said commodities faster and safer. The only bad things about the game is that i wanted more content, an expansion of some kind, more ships, weapons and missions but that's just nit picking, enjoy!
