I've been playing the open beta for a few days and so far so good. My ship is the U.S.S Cheshire and my player is Tivak@fitzmore. Unlike other MMOs, you don't log into a specific server. Once logged on, you can choose what basically comes down to being an instance. And yes, you can switch instances. There is a friend feature which allows you to switch easily to your friend's instance. The only "grouping" I've found is at a small level. They are called "teams" and at most six people group to finish missions. Some missions you can do solo, others require some help. Like taking out several birds-of-prey and a battle cruiser.
The graphics are pretty good. The space flight is fun. I'd give it thumbs up so far. There's no real currency system like WOW so you probably won't have to deal with "gold spamming". You pick up items and sell them to "vendors" (for the lack of a better name for now) to gain points to upgrade your ship and equipment.
If you get on, look me up. Again, it's:
Tivak@fitzmore (Tivak is player/toon name and fitzmore is screen name)
