Hrmm, I dunno, directly from the Gameplay section:

"What will starship fight be like?
Players will have the opportunity to engage in large-scale space fight, 
fighter or capital ship class, against an enemy NPC controlled vessels, each 
with their own individual characteristics and style of fight. In between 
missions you get to customize your ship with a possibility of selection of 
different equipment."

Doesn't sound quite right to me... and this little section just turned me 
right off:

"What is Damage Booster?

Damage booster is necessary upgrade for your fighter - it improves the 
damage you inflict fighting capital ships and becomes a very deadly element 
of large scale battles. It's better to avoid large ships without one 
equipped. "

Wha...? Why would this be in the Gameplay section? Are they trying to turn 
people off the game? Reminds me of darkstar one and its arcade style ship 
upgrades, certainly a steaming pile of crap imho.

Meh, we might get lucky.
