Cool, I enjoyed it during the stress test, although the PVE mode had some annoying spawning/warping in enemies feature that removed any immersion, especially when they warped in 3 tanks right next to me and I was already beat up from the previous battles...
Hope they fix that and make the PVE enemies approach from some side instead.
Wonder if they will do a wipe or if we keep the stuff we earned during the stress test?
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
It's space battles plus ground missions with character progression to bigger/better ships etc. I'm still checking out videos, but it's $18 which seems pretty good for a game that covers so much ground. It's been in the works for 7 years with the small group making it. It just sounds a little too good to be true. Is it a crappy space combat game combined with a crappy fps, or is it actually good? Offline or online, SP, co-op, MP, bots whatever you want to play it.

It's got the ship battles and boarding. I think battles actually get won as well. LOL I'm told it might be a little early to get it, so I'm going to hold off for a few more updates.
It's a co-op loot game sort of like Payday2 or L2D but with swords and melee. The streams and let's plays look pretty good for it, and it's coming out of early access next week I think, right now pre-order gets access to the beta that is live.
I'd pick it up if any of you guys have it or want to pick it up for co-op play.
UPDATE: Looks like Green Man Gaming has it for ~$20 using voucher GMGMID-SEASON-25PERC so I picked it up... will let you guys know how it is.
Apparently it's part Warships, part BSP maybe? Subs and more importantly, co-op. Downloading to check it out tomorrow. Will watch some vids to learn more.
Well Weasel and I played for about 2 hours last night. We had a good collection of matches, only one 12 - 4 stomp that we contributed to. Overall, I was not able to tell a ton of difference in gameplay but everyone seemed to last a little bit longer (higher ttk).
