This game could be damn cool, if it is finished. Check out Excape Velocity for a good space trading, RPG sorta game. With Basilisk II you can get it to run well on a PC. The third EV is being ported to Windoze as we speak... Start getting excited.:D

I'm kind of curious what the RPG elements are in this one, but I've always enjoyed space trading sims. I cut my teeth on Elite, which I think was the first of the genre. That was a hell of a game.

Well I'll throw in my 2 cents and suggest you check out VegaStrike too.

Is anyone playing Oxygen? If so, what's the score? How does it compare to other games of its type?

Man, Freelancer needs to hurry up and come out...

It's still pretty early in development, so I don't think there's really too much to play right now.

I just downloaded and installed Vega Strike, and from my first impressions, I think you'd like it, Prov. Full 3D space trading/pirating/bounty hunting sim. Feels fairly complete. I don't know what your connection is like, but it's a fairly heflty file at 96M, though so far very worth it.
