    Earn different ships by doing various and inpromptu quests through your intergalatic endeavors into the vast reaches of space. Experiment with mind control, cloning bays and stealth ships with extended radar. Get to know your play style. Improve you skills playing in real time without pausing using hot keys. Learn the systems, know when and how to spend salvage.

    And you'll die everytime and love it.
