Topic, pretty much. Saw a preview of this game a few months back and it got me intrigued. Just learned that it's launching in 5 days, on January 25th through Steam for $9.99. I'm pretty excited to try it out, it looks pretty smooth.

Looks really good, but why no cockpit?

Hope it's good. The footage is only so-so, imo. A bit too much like an FPS in space, with no feeling of actually being a pilot in a ship

There was no cockpit in the Freespace games either...

I won't let it swing my judgement, but I find it difficult to play FS2 w/ TrackIR due to the limited cockpit support. A cockpit gives you a frame of reference that helps you judge situational awareness and sense of scale. We (I) didn't need it before TrackIR, but I'll be the first to admit that I've been spoiled. But, if it's as good as (or better than) FS2 or IW2 I'll be more than happy...
