See..you could almost equate Derek with The Great Breadbin...and
conversely, you could equate David with The Supreme Commander...

Both games had the same flaws. 

Both were in fact the best PC space-sims ever created...

Both were horribly buggy and crash prone. Neither had a competent AI,
or industry graphics,  but they both had enough to addict certain
gamers..such as myself. This fact should NOT be taken lightly.

If you look at either BC3K/BCM and/or Frontier - FFE, you would see
the same issues.

Derek was able to produce more then David, and David was able to
produce more then Derek.

It's a Pandora's Box

Maybe, in the year 2525, we can get a spacesim worth it's salt.. =P
