The game is going very well so far. Over 60 captains are flying around the verse. Reavers are out in force and it is getting dangerous.
But it isn't too late to make your mark in the 'Verse because when you are new you are off limits to attack to give you time to get your bearings.
I am programming this in my spare time constantly and updates are added every couple days (depending on the size of the update).

After flying around for awhile, get experience points, credits, a new ship and some upgrades, it would seem that this universe is sadly lacking in navigational aids and database info. You don't know what's in a sector until you go there and get shot up or lose your ship and wind up in an escape pod. I guess you have to go everywhere and keep records of what you encounter but you'll probably die before you get a decent map. Another interesting non-feature is when you want to buy another ship, or your previous ship has been destroyed and you're in an escape pod, it apparently has to be delivered somewhere other than the place you buy it, with no search function for finding out where that is. If you're lucky, there is a space station that shows up on a local map and you can tell the program to deliver your new ship there, otherwise how would you know where to have it delivered? Then you go there, only to find out that you can't dock there unless you belong to the alliance that owns it. Of course, that alliance isn't accepting any new members, so the 2 million credits you spent for a new ship is down the drain.
Talk about flying blind.. Life expectancy in this verse is about 1 hour.

You should just trade in your current ship if you don't own a station. Having the ship delivered is only if you are buying a second or third ship.

Off hand I don't know, it is quite a bit... like $350,000 or something. Msg me in the game and I will help you out with some credits.

Just wanted to post a quick update to the game for those interested. It is still in the early stages, but here goes.
You can trade merchandise, buy your ship, fight other traders, attack the Alliance if you are really big and tough. Build your own Niska style space station and build stuff to defend it. Fight Reavers and get blown up. Form Alliances with other players, etc...
Still has bugs, and things still blow up on me from time to time, but it is still very early in the process. I try to take everyone's opinion into account and get around to requests eventually. It really is a quite complex game and is slowly starting to resemble something like a Fire Fly universe.
And I will keep working on it as long as people keep playing and letting me know. It has been online for 1 month as of yesterday. :) And even though it killed my bandwidth last month (I went from 3 gig used to 16 gig used), I just upgraded my account to unlimited bandwidth and soldiered on.
I can't wait till I can bring in my graphic artist in to do some stuff ( http://www.fivestarcomics.com to see his stuff. ) and make it even more Firefly like.
Today I started working on the spec pages for each of the ships, using the ones found online and recommended here.
Anyway, just wanted to post an update.
Rich.
