Drox Operative - Preview, Beta Updates

Space Game Junkie serves up a preview of Soldak's Drox Operative, which is currently in beta:

Once you get over the initial growing pangs — which will hopefully be less of an issue as the game improves — the game gives you a TON of things to do. Even without dealing with the races, there are enemy monsters to kill and loot, space junk and derelicts to salvage, anomalies to be scanned and asteroids to mine, for example. Once you bring the empires into the mix, however, that’s when the game REALLY gets fun.

For those playing or watching the beta progress, there have been three patches over the last week or so.
