ShilohGames, developer of the free multiplayer space shooter Allspace which released recently has now ported over their previous space shooter Disputed Space to Linux.
Always nice to see a developer port their previous games, it's not enough just to have the "latest and greatest" of course.

Unlike Allspace, Disputed Space actually offers up single-player and local co-op support. As the developer says:
Disputed Space is a fast-paced arcade action game, not a realistic simulator. It is a 6DOF game that plays like Descent or Overload, but in outer space instead of inside a mine. Players pilot a small fighter ship that can fly in any direction (including backwards) while blasting enemy ships with lasers and missiles.
Other Features:
- First Person Space Shooter with Six degrees of freedom (6DoF)
- Single player campaign with 30 levels
- Pilot your ship by rapidly strafing, aiming, dodging, and shooting
- Play as part of a large fleet
- Fly in between large capital ships while dogfighting with fighters and bombers
- Procedurally generated space scenes
- Large battles with dozens of ships and thousands of projectiles
- Arcade, Action, 3D SHMUP
Find it on Steam for £1.69/$1.99/€1.59.

Quoting: tmtvlI did say "Space Sim", not "Space Shooter", didn't I? Don't get me wrong, I like Tachyon: The Fringe as much as the next guy, but there's a difference between "Shoot people in space" and "space sim". Although that is a big generalisation, so I should probably change it to "Space Sandbox". Also I don't count MMO's because there you just get trollololed into space dust.Well, via Wine, there's the entire Evochron series that's playable that fits your definition. X4 looks to be the best such game in quite a long, long time...
Also also, lol X Rebirth, the black sheep of the series.

Back on topic here, Disputed Space is about $1.99, is a mindless "blow up the enemy ships" shooter, and I absolutely love it. It really is Overload in Space, which is my favorite control scheme married to my favorite genre. If you like either one of these types of games, for $1.99 and to support a Linux native title, it's a no brainer.

Quoting: pageroundIs Star Citizen actually installing via wine or do we still need to install in windows and copy the files over?
Because that would make my weekend!
Yes, it works fine now

What??? I spent weeks trying to get the damn game to work under Wine to no avail... I'll give it a shot with Proton now and see how it fairs.

Bought Disputed Space partly to support the devs and partly because I like space shooter type games. I think Allspace has some merits, hoping they grow something cool from this newly planted seed.
I'm very comfortable spending less than 2€ for essentially 2 decent Linux space shooter games.
