its amazing what that guy churns out, updates and refreshes all by himself (with some community help too) and for damn small downloads (25Mbyte).

WITH planetary descents and cities to interact with!

His games each represent an evolutionary process of listening to the players and developing news storylines and making prev versions historical fact. Ive not tried renegades yet but Ive sent my scouts out to this latest edition of the evochron universe.

Tings you can do;

EXPLORE TRADE BUILD RACE HIDE CUSTOMIZE FIGHT HIRE
MINE TRANSPORT HUNT PROTECT NEGOTIATE SPY CONQUER

SP and Multiplayer joystick/mouse space combat....

Im still trying to get to grips with the flight engine it’s a wee bit lose with my mouse, will have another go some time soon and see if I can last more than 2 minutes before shouting at the PC and sending my mouse on a flight across the room.

Looks nice tho

Joystick wise, these games feel a lot like jumpgate albeit with an inertia off key that allows straightline flashire like effects that gives the added bonus that you can then turret on chasing foes. They also have 'within sector' jump capabilties that allow you to escape/jump into trouble and antimissile flares.

There are lots of good ideas put into play like virtual crew members who enhance your ships capabilties on a per person basis, inter ship cargo trading and bribery and destroyed ship loot collection too.

Well worth downloading the demo's at least.
