Observation On Space Siege

I haven't played the game Space Siege, and from the reviews that came out I probably won't ever play it. The game seems to have a good background story, but the game play proves to be too limited.
A lot of people complaints and suggested the game play should perhaps be more like running and gunning. For me these comments suggest that I am on the right track in terms of my game design and philosophy behind it. I think if I have the time, budget and skills to make it into a full, it might actually be good.
