I sometimes like the static economy, and sometimes not. It allows one to build an easy mode of profit, but it also dullens the game. I mean, how can the Walsh Colony have an inexhaustible supply of metal? The prices should be dynamic to some extent.

it needs new ships, and the pirates tend to spray, yet they always seem to hit. Also, the cities should have some differences instead of just color.

pirate captain: ok lads! we see a ship, fly around like an idiot and only shoot at him if you feel like it!
pirate: maybe if we all shot at once he wou-
pirate captian: NO! we MUST only shoot if we feel like it

I like the idea of this game, but it takes too long to travel between planets. There ought to be a 'warp' function that cuts out if there's trouble (pirates, asteroids ... asteroid pirates), but otherwise, it just takes a little fun out of the game. 3/5

To those having trouble starting the game, it is because your browser is zoomed in. Press ctrl+0 to reset your zoom level, and then refresh the page. You can then zoom in again after it loads and it'll work fine (ctrl++).

thank you for the equal trade thing (in the same place the buy and sell price are the same not you pay 10 but only get 5 back)

If you're going to redo an old game form the 90's ESCAPE VELOCITY, then try to make it a bit more fun and expansive. You might want to get yourself a Mac and go play Escape Velocity again.

I thought it was silly how when traveling to a planet, it slowly moves closer to you, yet the stars in the background zoom past you. They're much further away so they really should appear to barely move.

This game is way too slow.. Flying from one planet to another shouldn't take a full minute.. Gets rather boring pretty quick.

chagrin: 27 level 4 and 5 planets=useless. They are not involved with the two special quests and have no special quests of their own. Either delete these planets or add special quests for the planets.
