At the moment, we really dont know much more than what is on the website however, after August 10th, I think we will know alot more. We have a one hour press conferance / event where they will be taking questions and showing us some video, and Hailing Frequency will also be doing a HUGGEEE interview with Jack Emmert the same day, so hopefully we will have a ton of info within 2 weeks,

one of the things i am worried about is "Missions will take you and your friends into space, planetside and even inside starships!" they make it seem like it won't be a major part of the game.. being on your own starship, that is.

 it seems that from the entire article we would only be flying around in a starship by ourselves and we can have the option of doing "away missions" with other people. not that we are on the same starship to begin with. i would be horribly frustrated if that happened. not so much if they at least let us know in the "very soon future" that we will be able to walk around at anytime in our or our friends starship.

i might be analizing too much, i truly hope so. i guess i should just be patent until the convention in vegas. i will just cross my fingers until then..
