If you wanna troll SC a bit, go to their Youtube channel and Subscribe/Unsubscribe as much as you can. There is currently a bug that distracts 2 subs per unsub.

Have they ever explained why the FPS part have 4 crosshairs?

One is where you are aiming, the other is where your gun is pointing at this moment.
If you turn your gun lags behind you or something.

Whatever sense that makes?

Chris Roberts actually casted himself in the (god awful) extended Freelancer intro movie that got cut.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exR36BzJCdo

I said it before; but the original intro was really cool and set up a nice world, without spoiling too much.

The extended intro is just awfully poo poo and garbage and features Crobbers as some random dude, obviously.

Can some nice goon write a small Everspace review here?

From what I read, it's arcade'ish, not a lot of depth. Is it true? How many hours of entertainment can we expect?

Everspace is a Freelancer-esque rougelite game. You jump from sector to sector, shoot enemies, find new equipment, manage your resources before finally dying somewhere along the way. You will get points, unlock new perks and ships for the following runthroughs.

It's a lot about know when to fight and when to run, and what to risk to get more resources. It looks absolutely stunning and is quite casual altogether.

When I say Freelancer-esque I do mean that in the most literal sense when it comes to combat. You move your ship with your mouse, the guns will always face where your mouse is pointing, with the ship slowly catching up.

There is a rudimentary story as well. All in all a fun, repeatable game.

Might I also suggest Starpoint Gemini Warlords which just came out. It is a Freelancer-esque Mount&Blade Style game in which you build your empire, fight other dudes, and blow up planets with a doomsday ship. Combat is more focused on positioning (4 shield segments and placement of turrets), and is overall a bit slower paced.

Michaellaneous

It literally is what it says on the tin. The map is divided into Sectors, and you start with a huge space station in space. You upgrade that with resources that you gather by buying mining/salvaging stations. You research new ships, new weapons and upgrades, build your fleet and kick the living poo poo out of other factions, taking over their space.

A big part of the game is capturing ships. You can grapple onto enemy ships and send in your marines, with a small, tactical minigame. You can destroy parts of their ship (engine, shields, weapon system) or attempt to take it on. Then you can either keep that ship for yourself, salvage it, or add it to your fleet.

The combat on the game is, as already said, based on position of your ship. Most of your guns will be able to shoot above you, so it's good to keep the enemy there. Managing the four parts of your shield also comes to play; showing the enemy your strong side while letting the other regen.

You can absolutely fly in fleets with massive dreadnoughts and hundred of ships, engaging in massive scale fleet battles.

Overall, in the 8 hours or so I played yesterday, I had a great gun. It comes with the grind that Mount&Blade has, but overall it is fun and challenging. I even died a few times.

No, it's just that the impossibly high standards that Chris wants are impossible to implement into an actual game.

To make this a bit easier on people who are confused:

Base Rate is a rate set by the Bank of England for loans to other banks. Interest rates are usually based on this.
Margin is a percentage in which the actual interest rate can fluctuate over a year, based on findings by the bank, etc.

The actual Interest Rate for CIG is in no way either 0.25% or 2%. It is 2.25% + Interest Rate for this loan. The actual amount is undisclosed but large businesses loans are usually between 5 and 10% + Margin and Base Rate.
