Nope its in the game listing :)I have played this a bit and need to go back to it because it seems like I must be missing some game functionality or read the docs because I didn't like the game play and the videos look a lot different than what I experienced.

i just found this game and its fun but sadly theirs no one every on it to play whit so all i could do was the single player test match part and i like the idea of the game. You piot cactpl ships and you realy feel like you in this big slow moving and turning ship becues the ships handles bad and the attack your gun turrets have to come to bear on the target before you can attack and you get xp form battles where you can up grade you ship and crew. I would say it is kind of like navy field but it fells like your in this really big ship and if you die respawn but why you waiting you not getting any points that let you buy upgrades for your ship in the match. anyway one want to try and get a few games going? its free to play any of the mk1 ships

Say it fee to play now, so they might attract some players.

Here is a bit more info I pulled from my email:
