This downloads page now offers an updated version 2.288 of Evochron Mercenary, the space combat and exploration game from indie developer StarWraith 3D games. Here are the changes in the new version, which is also available as a trial version:

Improved rendering performance for most systems.
Mod placement options added for text chat/message log.
Improved activation performance for the dynamic cube mapping system for planetary water (eliminating the 0.5-1 second pause on planetary descents).
New loading mechanism applied to planet meshes and city meshes to better support systems with limited/restricted hard drive performance/functionality (ie file error 105).
Fix for loading issue causing stored custom weapons in hangars to have removed stats.
Updated collision system for planetary terrain to reduce overall memory use.
Training mode can now be completed using profiles saved in other systems.
Adjusted click ranges in configure controls menus.
Improved lens flare masking for capital ships.
Several minor bug fixes.

There's no hand-holding but it isn't as impenetrable as a D.S. space sim. It is pretty engrossing once you learn the mechanics, which takes about an hour or two.
