Why Early Access?

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

• More maps!
  
• More optimization!
  
• More weapons and weapon mods - we made a design choice to generally keep the base weapons simple, standard FPS guns for easy learning. The weapon modifications though can explore a whole lot of crazy gameplay mechanics, from bunker-buster launchers to immobilizer nets to personal shields etc.
  
• Cleaner user interface.
  
• More seamless transitions between capital ship interiors and space - animated launch sequences for all fighters, all the way from the flight deck out into space.
  
• More destructible elements in the maps.
  
• Better particle effects.
  
• Smoother vehicle handling.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

• Combined-arms combat - fly starfighters and capital ships, drive vehicles and fight on foot.
  
• Objective-based matches, each map features a unique scenario with an escalating set of objectives, plus a Territory Control gametype.
  
• Multiplayer up to 64 players, dedicated and listen servers, with bots able to fill in for players in any role.
