The man who rents a room in my flat said the same to me.
But I do not agree.
You cannot see...

This is not the kind of game where you act as something which disturbs/changes enviroment, but it's a good space simulation and I wish we had X-like game with such a "real" space and ability to land.
This is just a one-man project which can't take the minds of many people like you because it's a special thing. It's a kind of art. You just spend your time staring at the stars and exploring planets.
For sure I thought there're more variety in given info (i.e. soil type, atmosphere contents, ability to name found critters and all), but it's in development and maybe some day it'll be more interactive.

Also I want to recall that noone makes you to stare at those "ugly and boring environments", but it's a perfect thing for me to kill a few minutes between mathphysics studies - I find a planet, land there, spend 5 minutes or so and then continue my university tasks. It relaxes and refreshes my mind greatly.

If I spent this time playing DF/civilization/another favourite game I'd end with an unfinished project for uni and a very short time to sleep.

I can't find a way to see my Li+ reserves though...

Are there any pros who could teach me a bit? Two main questions are
1) why are there "invisible walls" on planets?
2) how to return to ship from planet? I can't find a capsule
3) how to start a new world, I appear at the place where I quit.

P.S. WOW a lot of questions... Sorry guys =)
When I search something, I get "charcoal", "yelling madman(2)" and other stuff. How to look at it?
Also is there a way to examine your full inventory except "X" and "d"?

P.P.S. How to use a deed? =)

I think I may have answered my own question:

This game seems to have just about everything I'm looking for.  Anybody played it?

Sorry, I missed your post.

I played this game and I should say that I was disappointed.
WEll, the 1st one was a breakthrough, for that time it was very new and fun (bases on planets, ship descents, energy shield <->weapon systems energy transition? Wow!).
But for now this game is kinda... boring. If you play it long enough you'll see what I mean.
Almost the same enemies, almost the same planet maps and almost the same space battles.
It lacks global space structures (like in X/X2/X3), it lacks realism and nice storyline. So basically it has engine and nice content but if it had more features/elements it'd be less boring and much more fun.

It is worth playing though, because maybe I was "bored" because I already seen it in 1st parkan for many years and expected something very new from the 2nd part (which became just a "graphical engine upgrade" for me).
