How it feels

A blend of tactical space combat and strategic team play, with a satisfyingly fluid Newtonian flight model that rewards skill and coordination.

What players say

Players praise this decades-old space sim for its blend of RTS strategy and first-person piloting, but warn that it has a steep learning curve and a small community that primarily gathers on Sunday afternoons. The game is kept alive entirely by its dedicated playerbase.
