This is a very in depth game, with many facets to keep you busy. Building your first base, your first hovercraft, Small flying craft and finally a capital vessel capable of dominating the Galaxy. Oh yeah and there are other fully detailed planets than your original planet that you will need to dominate and gather rare resources etc. You will be battling the local wildlife, the local NPC's, some of which will actually have ongoing attacks on your base dependent on your allegiance/reputation with them or not. And finally you can build your own space station to plop down in any planet system of your choosing. Then of course there is the 2 player mode where you can play together with a friend, or the multiplayer game where you can pvp your friends. You can establish your own server as well. All in all this is the game that gets most of my attention. Money well worth spent on this game for sure!!!!
