This is a fun singleplayer/co-op mmo space adventure that never got an online component. It was still a blast to play and I sunk hours into this game with my brother and best friend. There's a ton of different factions each with their own ship designs that behave slightly differently when it comes to weapons and such.

It's also a fun game to just fly around space in. There's something amazing about holding down the boost button with you and friend zipping through space rushing past enemies and then hearing an alert being called out for assistance and doing a hard right as you lock on to the person in need of an escort. Keep in mind this is on the Dreamcast and while flying through space there were never load times. It was completely seamless. The only time things would take to load was going down to a planets surface.

Honestly this is the only MMO I actually have enjoyed and it's not even really an MMO.

Not giving it a perfect 5 just because I was disappointed in the ending. It just sort of ends and I was incredibly heart broken. The manual makes it out that there's a way to even peacefully resolve the conflict with the aliens and I spent hours upon hours just scanning everything because I was convinced that was a thing that you could do and now looking back I don't think that was ever actually an option.
