Having enjoyed Fleet Command very much I was interested to discover this game, given it has clearly taken some inspiration from the former.
However, I've just played the demo tutorials I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed ..
Graphics - the graphics aren't much better than Fleet Command, which is a little disappointing given the passage of time and technology
Sounds - nowhere near as immersive as FC with very little voice acting/cues - though I appreciate the developer has a small budget for the project
User Interface - This is where I really think there are problems:
~ I've found the UI experience to be very mouse click intensive, not at all intuitive
~ There are no right-mouse click context menus - I think this would add greatly to the game
~ Controls for navigating 3D view are different to the main map - why not keep them the same?
~ Way-points seem bugged are just don't work
~ It doesn't seem possible to see ships in a battle group as individual items on the map
~ There are no track IDs for individual radar contacts
~ Range circles or anything circular for that matter appears to be an oval rather than a true circle on the main map
