Overall, I am not more than 3 star value. It's here and there fun but nothing more, the frustrating moments in the missions and the rough limit to the ship control as compared to the previous parts, in short, it's just too little present as I see it as a full-fledged X game. The AI has been improved, but it is still too little present from the feeling of independence. What also annoys me, the matter of the illegal goods, if you are not careful and can, for example, to build a ship, this is close to the station and provides the construction with what other busy, it can happen that all vessels which are has its own and simply no longer there, just because you have 1 Hacker component here. Oddly enough, but you need these components to produce something before you can make these however, it is as already written, just annoying :)
What I like about the previous parts, the interface, good structure and much less search in submenus. Now the graphics do not go closer to a, this is quite good and running on my 3 year old PC with quad-core Q9650 and 8GB of RAM without problems on high details. It's easy to play after the patch, bugs there in my previous season quite a few, so who is on Space Shooter with a good share of RPG, the game should look at it, for the price you can buy it quiet or not much wrong do.
