And I think I've spent a good eight hours today playing the Beta.

Holy. Crap.

Combat's insanely hard, but it's freaking gorgeous.

I'll post screenshots as soon as I can upload them.

Screenshots below, but I do not know if you all can see them:

On approach to Azeban City:


Sittin' in my Sidewinder inside Azeban City, docked:


Flying around the I Bootis station:


Aulin Enterprise Station, on approach:


Screens don't do the game justice. The stations themselves are incredibly large, spinning in the dark of space, with small ships constantly on approach, departing, or on patrol. The shadows on the surface of the stations are always in motion, too. Combat is, as I said, incredibly hard right now, but I hope to be able to figure it out.
