I took a brief look into that one and it looks more like a blending of Empyrion and EvE.
YMMV - I’m thinking you’re either going to be a Reaver or food.
Hey Myth, long time no talk! 
And yes, they are positioning as a competitor to EvE. It has almost a 4X look to it.
I likely won’t play it, but I do dig large scifi experiences.
