When the Xenoid threat was discovered, human society was thrust into an era of martial law. Security became top priority, at the cost of individual liberty.
In the face of this growing oppression, many left their homeworlds in search of freedom. The Freerunners fled, to explore and settle the new frontier planets.
When Enforcers from the homeworld pursued them in a military effort, the Freerunners were forced to defend themselves. This was the beginning of the great human civil war which continues to this day.
In hope of defending your settlements against threats, both human and alien, you have enlisted as a pilot with the Freerunners.

Bought it there, but in case someone else is having the problem I had:
The game key is also the Desura key, so just use that to redeem it here instead of trying to click the Desura key button.
Not quite sure why they have the non-working Desura button there in the first place for this game.
Dev in twitter said "The keys are loaded as 3rd party keys on Desura -- enter the IGS key and you'll be set." - looks like they mistaken with where to put keys.
Oh, I see. Guess I should've checked the Twitter feed then.
Anyway, IGS stuff saying that Game key = Desura key (for this game, not in general). Since game is multiplayer, its developer issued keys and after register them on desura, as far as i understand, so you can either activate it here or use manually, same thing.
also do you have an active community and forum aayars? Its just Im a developer myself only not as talented as you :) and I am playing some unique games for inspiration, I am currently in the process of writing a roguelike and have got to grips with ai and basic procedural generation, I am also toying with the idea of creating a very basic space game, however Im curious what language did you write your game in?
Anyway away to play !
Thanks calnon! Zigfrak's community is small and scattered, but there is a forum at Forum.zigfrak.com which sees an occasional post. The game was made in Unity3D, which I'd definitely recommend checking out if you're just starting out. There are a lot of tools available, and you might be surprised how quickly you can get a playable prototype going. Zigfrak is written in UnityScript (they call it JavaScript, but it's not) and C#, but I can only recommend C#. Avoid UnityScript! Hope you enjoy, and good luck with your efforts!
Aayars im going to take the risk and buy this in the hopes its a hidden diamond, gameplay is everything to me though not graphics, these days I am struggling to find a space game like freelancer that immersed me and the quests werent boring because you wanted to know about each faction. Keep developing! Its good to see people trying to break through into a niche that hasnt near met its potential, it either swings to pure combat with no substance or trading sim, nobody has hit the balance correctly
The third-person perspective is just how the game was imagined and developed, to keep it simple I guess. The question does come up from time to time. The models are from a third party (3DRT), and happen to be exterior-only. Ship types and sizes vary greatly in the game, from small one-man fighters to motherships, as well as alien ships, so interior designs would need to be created for all of those environments. Sorry to say that it's unlikely to happen in this game, but it's something that I've made noise about including in a possible sequel. Hope this isn't a total turnoff, I hate to let a rock and roll clown down.
LOL. i'm a bit let down, but a line from here to Mars should suffice. :D
i guess i can't complain as i haven't played the game yet. sounds like the 3rd person view might work better with this game. i just like to have the option. hopefully i'll be able to grab the indie fort bundle if i can find the extra credits.
