Excellent multiplayer game. Playable outside of factions, but easiest to get into if you join a faction. (Shameless plug: United Federation of Planets) Really, all the factions are very helpful to new players. In a space of 5.7M grids to visit, or hide in, planetary systems, expanses, and dozens of products and commodities to trade, and needed to build ships and space stations of your own design, it is just incredible. Hint: For the easiest, most flexible start, chose a Mining Ship -- you can still do trading right from the start. If you are sure you want to buy and sell for profit exclusively, right from the start, take a freighter. The Admin is making constant improvements to the game (adding ship classes and other game features) and the community forum is great. One of the best games I have played.
