For me, yes. Its an award winning best seller. Its also dirt cheap and a labour of love for all the scifi they enjoy. They listened to what their players wanted and just ...... did it, like a bunch of psychopaths.

It also has one of the most meta storylines I've ever seen in a game. For me, its a very special game and as close as anyones come to the space game I always wanted growing up.

Its not for everyone of course. But, if its your kind of thing, it'll really work for you. Honestly, if anyone choses to play it, id recommend getting a buzz going on whatever poison you're into, don't Google any of it fot a bit and let it unfold as you play. Part of the game is figuring out the game.
