Dark Space is such an awesome online multiplayer game. It's basically you flying a spaceship with other spaceships (which are other people). You capture planets to build cool weapons upgrades and better armor and such, if you have credits. You can earn credits by completing missions, or by selling stuff from destroyed ships (it's my personnal favorite). There are 3 races: 2 human governments and an alien species called the Kluth.

That's a VERY vague description of the game. The people who play it are awesome, they are wiling to help newbies. I urge you guys to come try it out.
