Been Playing the beta.. QUite enjoyable really... not SFC by any streatch.. space combat is a little like sfc-3...but very little. SHips abilities are partially based on how they are equiped. The big diferences are how you develop you character and bridge officers.. The game has gone though several patches all-ready, but honestly I wouldn't really call iy GTG yet. They will make tier 2/2 release date but the games go a ways to go. It is playable, and combat IS fun, both space and ground. PvP is balanced up.. your only going to face folks in PvP within a reasonable range of your level fo toon which is a good thing.. As you rank up towards the level cap, you and your crew special abilities get more and more dangerous. Low level players (Lt rank) will get seriously swatted about by higher ranked players without to much effort.
Its not SFC but it is trek, and its not to shabby.
Just keep working on SFC 4 you guys!
