I have been looking around for an easy game that has diverse options of play, and this is it. At the start you have 3 ships to choose from, depending on the type of career (trader, miner, pirate) you wish to pursue. After that, there are over 40 ships from which to choose from as you progress in game play experience. On top of that, the comms are often staffed by very helpful and friendly people who are able to answer any questions not answered by the game wiki (itself a massive source of information). A vibrant community of players keeps the forums very busy. I am constantly amazed at how much fun I have with such a simple game, and I highly recommend it.
