Anyone played this one? I have a lot in my wishlist on gog.com and have waited until the sale to revisit what I actually want or will eventually play. This is one that was at the top of my list and was wondering...... thanks.

I played that a long time ago. its a fun game but the mission scripting could have been more creative.
I bought it a few months ago. It is a fun game. Check out YouTube lets play videos. I think you will be impressed.
It's a beauty, i love it.
It's a fantastic game. Heavily scripted as Starfury says, but very good fun nonetheless. It's a rare game that fully conveys the feeling of proper capital ship combat.
Always looked like fun. A damn shame the proposed sequel wasn't successful with its Kickstarter funding (both times).
IIRC theres a Battlestar Galactica mod for it somewhere.
for the type of game it is Id rather play the Homeworld series.
It is a really good game despite the age.
There are mods for it on Desura.
visualy its held up pretty damn well.
Aside from something like FTL, this is the only "Big Spaceship" game I can think of in recent memory, and even this title is considered old now.
Shame about the kickstarter for Nexus II.
For years I'd wanted a proper, command a Battlestar style space combat game, that was more like naval battleship combat, than privateer/x-wing/wing commander flyboy stuff. Starshatter allegedly had some ability to pilot big fookers, but I never got that far into the game, to have enough prestige or wonga to get to a massive ship. I suppose some of the Star Trek games allowed you to fiddle, and was it the Starfleet Command III (http://spelkzero.blogspot.co.uk/2004/09/starfleet-command-iii.html) that had me near the goal for abit...
I ALWAYS have Nexus on my hard drive, to satiate starship command fetish,

Two of them, actually. Neither came close to their goal.

Shameful. And quite surprising actually, considering it's met with universal acclaim any time it's mentioned.
They didn't do much to bring attention to it, unfortunately. One of several developers who seem to think that all they need to do is :
1. Put item on Kickstarter
2. ????
3. Profit
This seems to just highlight further my main issue with Kickstarter.
Lack of proper advertising.
Despite being an avid Kickstarter user, I never get any information about upcoming/running Kickstarters that might interest me.
And the companies that run them tend to only bother publishing them on a single file sheet locked in locker deep down in a stairless basement with a sign of "Beware the Leopard" on it.
When I finally do get Kickstarter advertisements, they're always about unrelated and uninteresting crap.
Nice H2G2 reference! ;)
Was just getting ready to pick this one up on GoG when I decided to check to see if it was available on Steam. It is and its on sale for $2.49 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/6420/?snr=1_7_suggest__13) (vs $4.99 on GoG)...
That is just about theft. Mods aval on Desura, I haven't tried them yet.
