Well, I play Starshatter a lot. ;-)

Is Yager available for the PC? I thought it was a console game.
Did it ever get a US release?

By the way, does anyone here know if Eschaton-Online died the
true death? Both of their websites seem to be down, and the
Google cached version says that they let their domain registry
lapse...

Afaik Yager was released on the PC some time ago. Only available as DVD
version however. A PC demo can be DLed from their web page.

I'm having a lot of fun playing it. Gorgeous graphics, interesting
characters and the best flight sim physics I've played. The story is
non-linear. I really found this out when I had to reinstall it after I
updated my vid card driver (it's been a little finicky, probably due
to its graphic intensiveness). I had to start from the beginning
again--which wasn't bad since I'd learned alot already--and the story
was different with some scenes I didn't see the first time. Some say
it gets boring half-way through, but I'm up to the 7th mission and my
interest isn't lagging. It's not available in the US, had to order it
from the UK.
