Demo is up at a few places including the above website.  This is basically a full-on Newtonian space sim with a near completely seamless universe, including landing on planets, etc.  They took a NWN approach and allowed multiplayer servers to use pilot profiles, so this means you can progress in the game in single-player or multiplayer and jump on various servers with your progress saved.  (there are a few missions that can only be done multiplayer btw)

I believe the main server now is Babylon 5 (each server can hold up to 30 people).

And no, I havent tried the game yet but I'm about to.  I've tried StarWraith games in the past and I just didnt jive with the graphics, but this one shows much more promise.  If you dont know StarWraith it's basically a 1-man development crew and the guy is imo psychotic... similar to that guy who devved SupCom.  He/They do a lot with VERY little.  (the game's only a 50mb DL)

Anyways, might be worth checking out since Infinity seems like vapourware, btrl is cancelled, Nexus' mp doesnt work, jumpgate is stalled, and so is Black Prophecy it seems.  Will we ever get a decent space shooter?

I'd argue that X3:TC fills the niche in 'decent'.  Sure, it's quirky as hell but really engrossing.
