This game just dropped on Steam EA. It's been in development for close to a decade, and it attempts to be the holy grail of space games. You're a soldier. You're a pilot. You're a driver. You're a commander. It's got FPS combat, vehicle combat, space combat, cap ship combat, boarding, tactics. The ship interiors are large, but logical. Damage a ship on the outside, and it's on fire on the inside. Lose a cap ship, and all the fighters and weapons on that ship are gone forever. Ship, vehicle, and soldier loadouts are configurable. It can be played multiplayer, or totally offline with competent bots.

It's a bit rough around the edges, but wonderfully realized and pulls you into its world. The devs have been working on this for years and years, and there's no chance it will be abandoned until it's been polished to a spit shine.

I saw this beastie on Steam. Tempting.....

played it back in the days when its UT3 mod version was still current, very fun

Quite honestly I know nothing of this game, BUT if they manage to pull off all that they claim to even in a buggy state I would happily purchase it. For those who know of it/play it I'd love to ask how buggy is it and are you actually able to do all that it claims you can do? Also I'm not really sure I get the whole overall design. It says you can play as a Commander in a sense but there doesn't appear to be any resource gathering or building or at least I didn't see any mention of it and I'm not sure it would be particularly safe since I'm already over my cap to watch a video on it lol.

Sadly though I'd much prefer if there was a true DRM-free version and I wasn't forced to buy it through steam. But I might hit the devs up on that later if I decide to get it, if there is any way of getting in touch with them.

So Star Wars Battle Front 1 and 2 without the Star Wars.

pretty much, yeah.

seems to be a bit glitchy, but the rest of their community would rip them apart if the release would be any less in terms of functionality than the old UT3 mod.

AFF just had a new update. There's a new map, new bot AI, Steam cloud support, and dozens of bug fixes.

Ouh, noice. Maybe I'll finally buy the game.

Their sound card requirements are awesome.

Why? What are the requirements?

It's not that hard to get to the steam page, and posting it here ruins the fun.

I ruined the fun! Muhahaha!

OK, but who came up with the excessively dramatic name of this game?

THAT is something I'd like to know too!
