<h1 class="content">About</h1>

<p class="content">
	Project::OSiRiON is a free space trading and combat simulation under
	development. Its goal is to create an immersive universe with open
	gameplay inspired by classic titles such as Privateer and Freelancer. 
</p><p class="content">
	The basic components are already in place: players can start 
	a single-player game, or join a network server. They can purchase a ship, 
	explore the universe and earn some cash trading cargo. Combat features
	are under development.
</p><p class="content">
	The game aims to be fully customizable: common and easy to edit file 
	formats make it trivial to change most of the game settings and world definitions.
	Most of the world customization can be done server-side, without the need
	for clients to install additional world definitions.
	Packages of the latest development build are available for windows and linux.
