  I'll try to describe it, but I did not get very
far in the game so it will be short.
  Movement is done with a mouse and the ship may
move in any of the spatial directions that are
desired.  The only bad thing is that, as a beginner,
you must learn how to keep your ship from rotating
, thusly making it hard to see where you are going.
  The plot: An alien race discovered the Earth (set
in Present) and did not like what it saw.
Consequently, they nuked the HELL out of us and only
a few were left. Fortuneately, they left without
waiting to see if we were exterminated (which we
were not). Somehow we got ahold of their tecnology
concerning spacecraft and their ability to "jump".
We then started to prepare.....
  Anyway, the game starts off with the hero (YOU) on
Solbase beginning training missions to prepare for
the return of the NASTIES (not their real name).
  These training mission concern the use of the
drive systems, weapons systems, and the
recon drones. 
  There was not much trading that I saw but there
was protection of Earth trade ships from the
Nasties. Yeah, you do get to BLOW 'EM AWAY!
  The graphics are cool, fluid, and bright. The
action is FAST, which makes one thankful that there
is a liberal save option.
  Again, can anyone get past the Ch-010 mission?
This is a cool game and I recommend it too those
that like Elite.
