Is it like wing commander, or elite?

I've never played either of those (well, I have played WC, but its been like 20 years and I barely remember it), but in terms of games I am familiar with, it's kind of like Freelancer. The "universe" is a sandbox for you to explore at will, with optional missions available from multiple stations, as well as core story missions that you must complete. Unlike Freelancer, the ship in the game is upgradeable, but not replaceable. The upgrade system is kind of RPG-ish and it is possible to come up with many different ship configurations depending on how you use your limited upgrades.

elite was a game it was a sandbox where you choose what to be, pirate trader, bounty hunter or escort. Wing commander was a big story and you did missions and there was a kill board with all the crew wich you interacted with.

I'd have to say it is closer to Elite then, but not exactly like that. You don't choose a defined class, but different missions may require you to act like each of those different classes.

thanks for the reaction but i didnt mean that it is a class you choice from its how you want to play.
