testtubebaby is on a distinguished road
it's not very fun... i tried playing their other free trial about a year ago, and it was pretty much the most boring MMO ever. you don't really have free control over your ship (a.la a space flight sim) and all i could see of the game was mining asteroids, boring (MMORPG-style) combat, and warping between points in the galaxy with almost no direct control over what your ship would do in the between (read: you'll be doing a lot of waiting while the ship travels the distance of a galaxy... *yawn*). it's kinda like the game equivalent of the novel Gateway with all of the boredom and none of the tension and excitement.

(btw, there was an adventure game made based on Gateway and it is quite good)
