Have you mates heard of it? Game in-production, MMO (you pay only once, no micro transactions or monthly payments) in space with everything what space sim should have. Only requirements are quite high. I'm not writing here details because everything is on the webside I gave link to.

There are different packages to buy, from 30 to 275 $. Personally, I'm heading towards 40$ pack with access to alpha and beta. Are you considering purchase?

looks good but I have never heard of this game before. New mmo I guess?

You wanted to say "looks stunning". :D yeah, new one. One of games which started its career on kickstarter. It's goal was to gain around 6mln$ and now they have 35mln$, it set all the records regarding games on kickstarter. It was not promoted much because it's still in early phase but already areound 330k of people engaged somehow into it putting money. I asked my mate who spent 1200$ on it so far how it will look like:
- you need powerful comp because graphics are.. well, check just this gameplay
- everyone pays once, then he gains money in-game
- you get a ship and hangar but you can be member of a crew of someone's ships. Biggest ships requiers minimum 25 people on board to go into space. (communication will be in game or just teamspeak)
- there will be over 100 solar systems with planets you can visit, it's FPS
- space battles, instances for 100 people (people, not space ships)
- boarding other spaceships with regular FPS battles on them
- and more, more but it sounds amazingly

We've been on about this game for a while now as there are a few people who I work with that like the look of this game.

I like the freelance as an exploration ship:
