I think this project is very different - this is not a platform, but a virtual galaxy blockchain. So, in a sense - a standalone game.
With Parsec Frontiers we are building a complex virtual economy of trading which is already a proven game concept that already has tons of fans all over the world. Do we need one more project like this? Well, that is where blockchain makes all the difference. This economy will be trustless - no gaming company to fudge the rules or create inflation of assets. A completely player-controlled economy where players set prices and creates the market themselves.
