Game Mechanics?

Does anyone have a clue as to how the non-flight/combat portions of the game will work? Like the trading/economics, RP, etc etc?

EDIT - did my new avatar work?

EDIT - Grrr... not yet... try one more time...

EDIT - There! That's got it!

As long as it's not RTS, I don't care. I much prefer a turn-based game myself, so I don't fancy trying to play and think at the same time. I much rather have the time to contemplate my moves.

SF is a RPG, not a strategy game, so it can not be a RTS.

The web site does list this as a feature:
"24bit 3D real-time rendered graphics. "

Which implies that it is real time (though not in any way RTS

).

I disagree with that assertion. I've seen some games that purport to be a RPG that are RTS. Those games I don't like, because like I"ve stated earlier, I prefer turn-based games. But I'm glad to hear Starfury won't be a RTS game.

Starfury is supposed to be a spaceflight simulator, with some RPG elements. So it's real-time, but not RTS. At least that's what I think.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
