I see theres no shortcut in the setup either for such a command, meaning the only real type of 'human' interaction you get is with a space station. Isn't this kind of crappy? I'm just worried that this game essentially a skybox with a bunch of non-interactive polygons flying around which you can blow up.
No, unfortunately ther's not even a crappy text parser to have the ships u encounter respond to even the simplest questions...

It would have been nice if they made a text parsing interface in the style of old Ultima-like games

Anyway the game is worth buying if u like Elite type games, the downside is that in the original Campaign trading is important only at the beginning, after a while you earn much more money by selling enemy ships' wrecks!
