So, you love your MMO games right? Add in the fact that it's in space and space is beautiful and we have a winning mix. Enter Star Conflict!
Looks like a pretty decent free 2 play space-based MMO, I am sure it will gain a decent following on Linux.
I have been after a decent space MMO to play on Linux and I was looking at Entropy, but this could easily fill that void since you lose nothing by trying!
This news comes thanks to the excellent SteamDB:
I think that's pretty hard evidence right there. Now, I will be the first to say this: SteamDB is never 100% confirmation, but it is extremely good supporting evidence.
About
Star Conflict is an action-packed, massively multiplayer space simulation game that puts players in the role of elite pilots engaging in a widespread interplanetary skirmish.
Three thousand years have passed since the first colonists left Earth. Now the galaxy is divided between the militant star empires and independent mercenary groups. In a remote corner of the galaxy — Sector 1337, the area of the dead — a world has been left behind. Here, the ruins of a great civilization of Precursors have recently been discovered. Huge factories and sprawling cities are falling into decay. Fragments of ships lie on the fields where massive battles were once fought. But there is not a living soul. Everything has been destroyed by a mysterious Cataclysm — a pulsing anomaly that burned out all life within this sector.
This doesn’t stop mankind, the new «owner» of the Universe. Mercenaries and adventurers have flocked to the sector to sift through the ruins and loot its abandoned artifacts, without consideration of the danger. Many have disappeared — including members of well-armed expeditions — but those who have managed to return have uncovered unprecedented riches. So looters continue to come here, to find the Precursors’ lost treasures — and to fight for them.
What do you think guys? I am excited to try it out. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Is it any good? The up/down votes on Steam aren't really positive (~40/60). According to the comments, it seems quite fun but too much "pay to win".

I've been playing this game since the winter holidays. Now it's headed for linux. Hope this news is concrete. I'm also waiting for the CS:GO linux version. Hopefully I'll be able to stop dual booting all the time just to play games. Linux games FTW!

Just checked out StarConflict on steam via my Linux Mint desktop, and it actually is downloading from steam (linux version).
I'll report back if it actually launches and plays.. I like StarConflict.. it's a nice alternative to Freelancer from the early 2000's.

It won't launch, trust me. It's not released yet.
