I've beta tested Starpeace in its early beta testing stages, I believe with the second wave of beta testers. From my experience, it was very hard to understand what you were doing, and why you were doing it, and what the impact would be . It's been a long time since then, So I really don't know how far along it's gotten, but I can sure hope that they improved the interface.
The game wasn't very deep itself, but you more or less had to know what you were doing in order to be successful, and it also helped if you were there since the start, then giving you an upperhand, and in the end not being fair to others who just arrived. It's essentially a Multiplayer SimCity with a deeper financial model.
I stopped testing it, not because I didn't like it or didn't want to, but because the servers at the time were unstable and had me wasting time in waiting for them to come back up after 3 long months.
