I have been following the development of this series for a while. Yes there are problems with the game, yes the graphics are bad, and yes it is much different in terms of what challenger was. The thing is that the game is being developed by two guys, ones a teacher/professor. He is very open to suggestions and always requests bug reports, especially if they are game-breaking because he will fix them ASAP. The game has come along way since the original concept demo, which was fun. The one thing, for the most part, the developers will not leave the game like others have done with other titles. They will keep at, even though it might take a while for the next version to come. Now a lot of people that helped test challenger have said many realisitc mechanics of the game have been taken out. This could be for many reasons on a development point or they kinda made it easier for newcomers to get used to the game.

Pros:
COOP with friends
More freedom than Challenger
Active devs who respond to suggestion and bug reports

Cons
Some game breaking bugs -(reported and are being fixed)
Bad graphics for today's gaming market (Made by two people over a number of years, and graphics don't really make games. Look at minecraft.
Less realism than challenger, but really doesn't take away from gameplay fun.

Overall the game does have a lot to go through. The price is fair, I mean I bought the whole series for $30 before Frontier was even on a computer and for just $10 you will be getting what you pay for and in the future you will be rewarded with bug fixes and what not. The devs will not abandon this title until the bugs are fixed and there might be more content.
