Anyone ever heard of this? It looks kinda interesting. It combines fist-person space combat and full-scale RTS fleet-based combat.

Has anyone here tried it? Any good? Worth looking into? I still want a space-combat game..

Never heard. Although I know Matrix games. It has published/made strategy games and it sells them only in the net. I had no idea they are now in full 3D games business.

You should try the demo from here.... at least I'm going to (only 86Meg)
