The game is the most needlessly complex and slow-paced game I have ever played (10 hours). There doesn't appear to be any kind of story and, from an outsiders perspective, seems to be the world's most detailed space merchant simulator.
The game appeals to a very specific demographic--the players who love micro-management and the ability to do just about anything in space very, VERY slowly.
I'm glad I got this on sale. Sure, some would pay full price and then some for this, but I paid $7.50 and I still don't think it was worth it.
