    I remember back in the day when I first got this and I thought it was going to be the best thing ever. Then I played it and was sorely dissappointed. It had so much potential but it tried to do so much it failed in every area.

    Having said this I still have some enjoyable memories, crashing the Battlecruiser on Europa and having to tow it back to GalCom HQ with a shuttle while trying to defend myself from an insurgent attack with my 3 interceptors (the other got smashed to bits in the original collision.)

    I'd loved to see this game brought back in some workable form with all the original features intact. Am I mad? Could it even be done?

    What are other peoples thoughts on this?

    Isn't the guy who made it working on a new version? I remember checking out his site a while ago and he's got loads of versions of it out, each supposedly better than the last. It was a fairly cool idea for a game though. I still remember giggling with glee as I assigned a crewman to one part of the ship and could follow his progress on the status screen as he walked to his new position. A lot of detail went into it which is admirable, but it's just a pity that it didn't quite live up to expectations.

    I never played it, and only remember it for the war of words between Derek Smart and Something Awful.
