	I was very impressed. It's the best NON-WC space comabat sim
around... I'm still downloading X-COM Interceptor demo, so that might
change.

	I liked the briefing... The music and 3DFX effects are good..
The commands are similar to WC and XvT, so it's not very hard really.
It have the swarmer missiles just like the wasp, and the laser looks
like the WC mass driver.

	Overall, it appears to be a good game.
