Got it downloaded and it looks pretty good. Looks like you'll have the
ability to disable and board (in FPS mode) enemy ships, just as in the first
game. Ground stuff looks ok too; maybe a marriage between "Imperial

fighting only robots? C'mon Nikita, we want to chunk it up. "Blood for the
Blood God!" a la WH40K.
