This game was amazing in beta. It was much more simple. There was only one planet and they had a squad system. Once they opened up other planets it was still kinda cool, but it just got rediculous after a while. I was big into the politic portion of it in beta (which at the time, was basically voting for your strategic commanders to control your various clans and give them waypoints etc).
Was a great game.
I was unaware it went free, may have to check it out again.
I'd hate starting over though, I did my grindfest.. I have a great screenshot of the community responding to the big patch that changed the game from the four factions and making it an entirely different experience (what it likely is today, I guess =P)
About 200 people in our capital lining up to spell the words
"FUCK YOU
NEXUN"
Or whatever the developer was called.

Hehehe.
We all eventually got disconnected.
