It's all installed and I've been playing over the weekend. It's quite fun, I'm really liking the ship to ship combat.
I'm a little disappointed they've made the game so instanced. There appear to be around 20-30 'versions' of each area going at a time. It does detract from your connection to the actual game world. It would have been better if they'd went the EVE online route, of having the game divided into sectors, but have those sectors continuous.
It would've been nice to randomly bump into a friend while exciting the Sol system, as opposed to being in an instance of the system with only like 30 random people.
But I'm still liking the actual game so far, I really want the full version so I can see what is available ^^
I'll post some pics of my crew in a moment, as I spent quite some time designing them
