Have you seen this game? (warning: pics)

It´s called Ad Astra, it´s a space-shooter Elite style, supposed to have about 110,000 star systems, procedural generated planets and stuff. I tried it, and I can say i was very surprised with it. The graphics and sound are a little annoying and it is still very limited but overall it makes a very fun game
some screenies:

You can get it at www.a-astra.com
It´s a good game while I wait for Infinity

Pollo ad astra is a very nice main pizza dish at Pizza Express here in the UK. I have it all the time. Not sure it would make a good space shooter, though.

If he is new to Orbiter, he will stay with Orbiter once he reaches ISS. :lol:

If the game is good, I would forgive it, instead of reporting it as advertising... :rofl:

Kind of reminds me of the Battlecruiser 3000 series. (if anyone's looking for a straight up Elite clone (with textures) Oolite is pretty good).

Anyone know what kind of combat system this thing has? I kind of liked Elite's laser and missile system.

I'd assume that the physics system does not allow orbits and that one can 'park' just outside the atmosphere.

Actually i was registered in the old M6 forum since 2003 and i have contributed to the community before: http://www.orbithangar.com/advsearc...uthor=default&category=default&subcat=default

Some real-life issues pushed me away a little from orbiter but when i saw this i thought some people here would enjoy it, so I posted it.

Don´t worry, now I know I was wrong

Universal Combat (third or fourth game in the series) has been released as a free download over at http://www.3000ad.com and its quite absorbing for a few hours. There are mission modes as well as a "free roam" mode. It's fun.
