I know that half the people here don't know or haven't played this game nor its demo, but what the heck.
Here, have a trailer to watch, uploaded by the game's makers/publishers/whatever.
Full newtonian flight system, unlimited speed, glide, limited ammo, VERY persistant and well tracking missiles, limited fuel, etc. Great gameplay, music, and setting.
Too bad it's only in russian. Though the 100-200MB sized demo is available in english.
EDIT: Considering most people here like space sims, I'd expect people should be interested in this

I played the demo, but I couldn't get the hang of the full-Newtonian system in the least. I kept shooting dozens of kilometers past my target in opposite directions. Give me something nice and arcadey any day of the week.

Reminds me of 'I've Found Her', also Russian developed, I believe.

Actually, 'I've Found Her' is developed on the same engine.

Where could one find a download for said game?

No idea. 'HomePlanet' is probably unobtainable through normal means by now. 'I've Found Her' could probably be bought or downloaded - not sure, never took note of that one.
The 'HomePlanet' demo, however, could be downloaded from nearly anywhere though, and it's not a large download. Got quite a few missions too.

Assuming it finds its way into darksector.
WTF is darksector anyway and can I join.

Fine game, but extremely difficult.

Oooh, nice. Gonna try this one.
That said, from the looks of things so far, HomePlanet is more appealing
Srsly guys,
try the demo. It's only 168 MB size, but definetly worth it.

Come on, you know it's true

HomePlanet is an entirely new universe/story/setting.
That said, playing the demo again reminded me of how different it is from the main one. Though missions are pretty much the same, IIRC.

Eeew, FilePlanet.
Maybe I'll try it if I get bored.
