The action MMOG, Galactic Melee, has entered closed alpha and has 500 slots open for testers.
Galactic Melee is a 3D space shooter recreating the fleet battles found in popular movies and books. Supporting 500 players in a 40 kilometer zone, you are a single fighter pilot among hundreds in an epic space battle between capital ships, starbases, and enemy fighters.
Combat is based on player skill, with levels and equipment playing only a minor role. Because of this it is easy to jump into, with players able to play short games or long as time permits.
Galactic Melee is free to play up to level 5, and remains fully competitive at that level. Players wishing to advance to the maximum level have the option of both lifetime and standard subscription plans.
