Flatspace is a game in the veins of Elite/Frontier etc, although with a bit of the roguelike-Game approach. Gameplay strongly resembles the one of Frontier: Elite II, you can trade, attack ships, dock at stations, etc. You can do what you want - earn money as a mercenary and accept courier jobs or safely escort passengers to other sector. Or be a space pirate, you can raid other ships and later even destroy whole stations! Everything is possible. The game is seen from a top-down viewpoint, just like Asteroids.
