Simply calling this WoT in space would be a crime. It is listed as an MMO but is nothing of the sort- yet. Right now its more of a Multiplayer Online Game with lobby based gameplay in team vs team or Team vs PvE gameplay modes. The game is still in Open Beta state as well and there's many changes being done here and there. I don't recommend buying into the game just yet unless you'll be comfortable with some possible MAJOR changes to the game.

If you enjoyed space flight sims like X3, Freespace, Colony Wars, etc. then maybe this might satisfy an itch for competitive if at times unfair combat.

The Bad, yes the bad. Match making can be really one sided, PvE matches can be set at higher Tier difficulty making new / lower tier ships feel helpless to complete them. Some of the cash shop items are priced a bit too high for how long they'll be useful to you.

I stopped playing this game when The OBT patch v 0.8.0 went live, the patch was absolutely horrible and imbalanced, it also took the "Flavor" of faction ships away. The game pre 8.0 was absolutely awesome. I haven't seen anything since to make me go back to want to play it.

IF you can stomach the bads, and the changes during this open beta then maybe Star Conflict might be for you.
