Dead Star

Dead Star was a multiplayer-only game where you worked as a team to capture space stations and eventually conquer your opponent.  I say "was" because less than a year after the game was released the servers were shut off.  This effectively made so no one can play the game ever again.  So there isn't much point in you reading this . . .

 

You could pick between a few different classes of ships.  Fast ships are good for capturing bases early on, freighters are good for collecting resources from asteroids, and battleships are offensive behemoths.  A good team will utilize all of them but unfortunately this is rarely the case.  It was a pretty fun and well balanced game and it's a shame that it's all over.

The bottom left shows the map (small, in this case) and which team is controlling which portions.

Those V lasers are hard to hit ships with, but they are devastating.

There are a variety of side challenges to complete that unlock new ship options.
