It reminds me of Mass Effect somehow…

If anyone had the right mindset, they would search Space Trader on google and find that this game is also on the PC. Its not a First Party big budget game, but its a decent first person rpg/sim game.

Good thing we have idiots hear that can't stand a slow game.

Controls and graphics look tight for a 3D "trading game"

If a developer were to use this engine and control scheme to a FPS game, how would shooting be implemented?

Just curious….

Looks really boring. Low frame rate too.

It looks okay. But where is the game? Assuming it will be a space-trading sim like the Privateer, it will have tables, trade windows, shopping-cart interfaces, and lots of stats. It looks like it's trying to be immersive with the 3D but how much time is really spent walking around in a trading game?

I too was expecting something down the lines of Privateer/Elite. Such a game would be awesome on the iPhone and wouldn't even need to be full 3d.

How about Master of Orion 2 for the iPhone? Any developer up for that?
