It's ok for shooting at ships. The rest sucks.

This game has a really good ship-to-ship combat system and pretty modern graphics.

And that's it.

The chat interface is clunky and primitive. The land-based combat just needs to be completely redone. You can hack away at anything of any level for a very long time and never hit anything -- or just suddenly bite it. The graphics are nicely detailed, but it's not worth paying a monthly fee to play.

What's more -- in the fine tradition of EQ2 -- at this point, you're paying to be a beta tester. I've lost half a dozen ship deeds to an inventory error (also in the fine tradition of SOE, they don't replace your stuff after their fuck-ups lose it for you... isn't it a coincidence that you're also paying them for time...). A moment ago, my lvl sleek corvette was roasted by a lowbie ship after their server dropped me and wouldn't let me back into their server menu for a good five minutes... As soon as one of their admins (I'm just wildly assuming they have more than one...) yanks his head out of his ass long enough to tell me they won't replace it, I'll be done with this piece of shit forever.

I think that in two to three years this will be a fine game except, well, so few people play it that it might not last that long.

C'ya in Conan.
