Just thought I'd let everyone here know that Fractured Space has finally gone free2play on Steam. It's a great game and I'd encourage all Steam users to download it and try it out!
Just a heads up, the game is in Alpha. It doesn't feel like an Alpha game but if you don't like games that are still being developed this probably isn't the time for you to try out Fractured Space.
Fractured Space is a Free to Play competitive 5-v-5 tactical space battle game fought over five sectors.
There are two game modes:
Conquest. Our primary game mode in which teams fight for domination of multiple sectors with the aim of capturing the opposing team's home base. This mode is fought on a single map containing 5 sectors of space that ships can warp between. Sectors have forward bases to occupy, mining facilities to capture among asteroids that provide hardcover.
Frontline. Fast paced action with all players assigned any of the ships available in the game at random. This is a streamlined version of the core game focussed on territorial control and team fights.”

It most closely resembles a MOBA but has aspects of other types of games incorporated into it too. I've never played Freespace 2 so I'm not sure if it's similar. Hope this helps!
ITs been free 2 play for ages. Game is already dead. Good luck waiting for a hour to join a match. Amazing graphics and physics though, uses unreal engine 4
The game was only made free2play this week. They have previously had free weekends where you could keep the game if you had tried it during that weekend but it has now become free permanently. The game is also not dead, the majority of players are from Europe and America so there can be times of low population but there are always enough players online to get a match. It also does not take an hour to join a match, I play daily and it only takes me 5 minutes on average to find a match in off-peak times, often less, which isn't that bad seeming as matches can easily last over half an hour.
I think they screwed up letting people keep the game in those free weekends… According to recent reviews they are making it P2W by making it F2P.
Wow. It's gone pay to win and it's not even out of alpha
what sort of game is it? Is it like freespace 2?
