got into Beta.
first impression is not so great :/
the graphics are very very ho-hum... actually, pretty crappy compared to any current games - reminds me of the OLD wing-commander.
the interface feels very clunky atm - need to learn the key binds config file - players are setting up one button evasion routines etc.
considering the graphics - the ships are okish... but i have to say that after the ability of eve to see all around me - the*****pit interface sucks big time.
the station interface needs a LOT of work - its reminds me of the very old dos days - and is not so nice.
chat interface - something like the lineage interface - utter crap.
but.. in spite of all these bad things, the FPS-like action is fairly ok - you have to lead your shots and manually aim. I expect the game to get better as time goes by and i get more used to it, and they improve the interface... I spent 5 hours last night playing - gf was about to kill me  i had no idea the time had gone.
thats probably a good sign.

well.
its licences, not skills.
there are no "ingame" skills.. just need to "prove" you are good enough to fly something.
other than that - its a FPS with ships rather than troopers.
insta respawn at home station etc.
still giving a shot to see if it gets better.. only maybe 30 min a day.

Yep..
after these days of trying it out, finding it very hard to want to log in anymore to vendetta....
getting the licences is a grind....
and the graphics are getting to me. (i've got a top line graphics card for _this_?!?!! sheesh)
