While most space games admittedly only overlap somewhat in the context of space dogfight battles, from what I’ve read the player is able to fly the ship between planets, space stations, asteroid fields, etc? Bit too FPS-focused and not enough economic-focused for my liking in contrast to Freelancer, but the games seem to at least share that in common.
Isn’t the current TPB distinct from the original; made to look the same, but run by different people?
