- Judging from the demo, the game isn't very stable. My system is far above the minimums, but it crashed every session.

So is mine. 2.6 ghz Intel pentium 4 processor, 80GB Hard disk, NVidia GeForce4 5600 356Mhz, 1024 MB of RAM, with Windows 2000 Professional. I'd consider that far above the minimums, and it sure as heck doesn't crash on mine.

- The ship you start with is a destroyer, but the game mechanics were that of a fighter. I never felt I was in charge of a crew and substantial vessel. Larger ships were somewhat better, but the game didn't simulate the experience of captaining a capital ship.

You can always mod the effect.

- Size relationships were way off. Planets looked like beach balls, even close up. Other than the distance "gauge", you couldn't tell how close you were to a celestial body until you impacted.

Size relationships are way off in any space game; show me one game that ever got it right.

- There are much better tactical space games on the market. You want tactics, great graphics, modability and 3D movement? Try any of the Homeworld games.

Homeworld is not a tactical game; it's an RTS. Starflet command is a better example; but then again, when you compare Starfleet command with Starfury, there isn't much to compare.

And Modding Homeworld is a *****.
