Anyone here played Starshatter?

You might also be interested in VegaStrike. It seems to share some similarities with these games.

Looks interesting.

After editing The Wargamer's review of the first X title, I still have a residual aVersion, although I did buy a used disk of it, but never installed it. It sounded like some stuff was messed up, the combat and ship design and mechanics (my main interests) didn't sound so good, and then IIRC you were stuck with one ship with really obnoxious puns associated with it:

The Xperimental Shuttle

That name just makes me want to lock weapons and fire...

PvK
