In your down-time, shoot some 8-ball, play some dice-poker, or aim for the high-score in an arcade game in the local seedy watering hole.
Flip through the 7 included radio stations and vast music library for just the right track to fit your current mood. Save up your credits, buy a new ship, kit it out, and then paint it in a fully-fledged 3d-painting application.
Strap into a variety of spacecraft, settle a score in a filthy space-bar over a game of 8-ball, rock out to over 24 hours of music, and engage in white-knuckle dogfights. With an engaging storyline and a full conversation system, you can follow the narrative, or ignore it and forge your own path at any time.
