Been looking forward to it for quite some time now.
Used to check their forum on Steam on a daily basis (if not more :P) until they finally revealed October 20 as the date.

The Missus and I have been playing this the past few days and we are in the midst of writing up a review (with pictures) about this awesomely fun game. In its pure form the game is Sid Meiers Pirates mashed up with Firefly and Wing Commander. I'm not going to spoil the review, but the game is out in 8 days and I  strongly recommend if you like the theme get your $20 dollars set aside now and schedule 30 or more hours of free time to enjoy this epic single player game.  O0

Better than Starpoint Gemini 2 (which I have yet to play)?  Or not really comparable games?

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Brant might be able to help you out with that research this weekend.  :coolsmiley:

From what I've heard the grind isn't as bad.

I liked the concept of the original Starpoint Gemini, although it's implementation was rather roughly indie.  I pointed out that it's combat resembled the Starfleet Command series on the forum they were using at the time, and one of the dev team admitted those were the primary inspiration for that part. 

I would've like to seen that carried through to the new & improved SG2 but they switched over to a more nimble starfighter type of scheme.  Didn't feel like you were running a big relatively ponderous capital ship but more like a quick little fighter with an FPS twitch bent.  At least for awhile AFAIK, but I never got far into it because of this.

I know this was asked a while ago, but I think it got lost in all the apiarist-space prostitue-Starpoint talk...

Was the trailer actual gameplay or cinematic?

The trailer is actual gameplay.  Yes, it is that pretty.
