I picked up UC this morning and have played for about eight hours throughout the day. This is the first game I have played in the Battlecruiser series and so far I have been having a good time with it. The gameplay is very deep and it is obvious that a lot of thought, effort, and vision was put into the design. I have to say that I like all aspects of the game with the exception of two things. 1. The Manual: While the printed manual is nice and has successfully taught me how to operate the game(over a period of 4hrs.) there was a few things I felt needed to be added. Descriptions of the differant missle and weapon systems would have been nice. As I have been playing I have noticed a wide range of ATA, STS, ect. missle systems but I am not sure what the differance between them are. I would have also liked to see a description of each of the many assets in the game. Stuff like max speed, common role, weapons loadouts, ect. would be nice from a gaming perspectave and would help me flesh out the game world in my mind. 2. The control scheme is nice once you get used to it but there is one thing that I am having a hard time getting used to. When using the mouse steering mode I have a hard time with the crosshair and the mouse pointer being seperate. It is extremely hard for me to line up shots when piloting fighter craft. Is there an option that I am missing that will link the mouse pointer directly to the crosshair in the center of the screen in mouse flight mode? Other than these two things I think that this game is great and has the potential to eat up a lot of my time. I will definatly keep my eyes open for other titles released by the developer.
