this was the best game to play i remember starting this game years ago i had to stop playing because i had no way to get on and have been absent for years it's so sad to see the plug being pulled on that game because it's style and controls were fantastic it utilized the X,Y,Z coordinates to construct a fantastic 3D game. the graphics were phenomenal in the sense that you were really in space while it did offer in-game purchases which i bet a lot of people took advantage of to quickly level up it was fun because of the sensations it gave as you played the sounds were exact to what you'd expect from a futuristic si-fi exploration mmorpg first/third person shooter. camera movement was exceptional because you could look around in any direction you wanted to and the same can be said for steering. none of the games i've ever played in my life can even begin to compare to this one simply because it allowed me to step into a world where while yes there where other people i could feel like my self and talk freely. had this game not been shut down on the 31st of January id be playing it from dawn to dusk because it is so enthralling in the sense that all of the events take place in space i don't know much about the series but i will most certainly look into it i'll miss this game and i doubt i'll ever be satisfied with any other unless they feature all of the aspects or improved versions of those aspects from Battlestar Galactica Online.
