How similiar is WW to Space Rangers 2?

[S.R. Krol]

Pretty much a totally different beast. WW is a concise game, while I've always viewed SR2 as much more of a 'throw everything against the wall and see what sticks' kind of game.

For the most part trading only comes into play with the Klakar event. WW is definitely not a trading simulation, although depending on what type of mission you're undertaking the final score will reflect goods in your possession.

I believe the game length can be increased. Just checked out some of the data files and one config file, 'game', has a section for dates so I would assume that you could tinker around with that. As you can tell I have never tried, so don't quote me on it. Hopefully someone else can confirm it positively.

Really the best advice I can give you is to check out the demo. That'll give you a good representative taste of what to expect, how it differs from SR2, and you can check out the file system to see how modding will go.
