On Friday, December 8, 2017, Space Wars Early Access Beta has opened to the public. If you're into turn based strategy combat, and want to be in an MMO where your actions actually effect the advancement of your Empire, this is the game for you.
Make sure you play the in-game Combat Tutorial first, then join in on the fun on the border.
Also, a lot of info and discussion can be found at the SpaceWars Forum:
