I used to play it as well, say for about two months. Only leveled my char up to lev 30.
I played it both pre and post NGE (New Game Enhancements) and was kinda intrigued by it. I had played WoW on a hacked server in SA before I came over to the UK.
I enjoyed the feeling of getting in your own spacecraft and flying around space, but ultimately, there was nothing to do. The game used to have something like 32 professions which they nerfed a few months ago down to 9 rofl.
They killed the game, it's so broken its not even funny. The NGE brought in almost FPS like elements, where you had to point and shoot. Good concept married with horrible execution. You ended up being shot trough walls and boxes, which defeats the purpose imho. It also went real-time, which would spoil it for high-latency connections.
Must say I really did try to like the game since I'm a SW fan as well. Eventually, I gave in and bought WoW - haven't looked back since
