Moon Breakers is a free to play, multi-player 3D space combat game set in an alternate WWII-inspired future. As either a Government or Pirate pilot, take to the stars in single-seat starfighters and engage in epic dogfights for Helium-3 around the galaxy.

A modern multi-player take on the classic space combat genre of the 1990's, Moon Breakers delivers thrilling gameplay with simple controls that will have you flying and shaking bandits off your six in minutes. Coupled with a bold, retro-futuristic art style, amazing music by Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead) and a variety of ships to unlock and upgrade, Moon Breakers is pure space combat awesome. Sign up, climb in and get ready for launch... there are fortunes to be made.

Cheers mace, I will have a look into it.

As i don't play Star trek online anymore it may be something to look at. Though it seems there is no newtonian phsyics like evochron. but will have to see how deep the game is.

Yeah that's what I thought, which is no bad thing if done right.

That'll get PM in here. LOL
Seems like just another chase-the-cursor shooter. Being free, not much reason not to at least try it.

Here's Bear's blog post on the subject. Entertaining, as usual!

Fans of my previous science fiction and videogame work will find a lot to love in “Moon Breakers” — sweeping orchestral themes, blistering synthesizer motors, ethnic instrumentation and pounding percussion. Even though the complete score is only twenty minutes long, it contains some of the most visceral action music I’ve written since “Battlestar Galactica.”
