So found this game recently, it looks interesting. It's a Source Engine mod, which means it's free for anyone who owns a Source game (List Here) and is about 1.5GBytes in size.

There are a couple of modes of play like in TF2: "Normal" Maps, which are es_* maps, CTF maps (ctf_*), and CP (cp_*) maps a bit like TF2.

CTF and CP are fairly self-explanatory, but the meat of the ES gameplay imo is in the es_* maps.

In these maps, the scenario is a battle between two warships (Capital Ships, or "Capships") of opposing factions. Each ship is guarded by three smaller gunships. The goal of the players at this point is to destroy the smaller gunships and get their vehicles to the docking bays of the opposing Capship.

Once one team has gotten access to the opposing capship, there are a series of control points in the ship they have to "secure" by standing in an area. A specific class on each side can increase the securing speed.

Once one team has secured a point, the other team can try to regain it if they wish.

Now, capturing all the points of a given Capship is not the only way to win: You can also win by simply doing enough damage to the capship that it explodes! However, Capturing stations in the ship still helps, because some capture points disable the Capship shields, while others disable the Capship weapons.

There's a more in-depth explanation at the mod's website: Eternal Silence

Hmm, kinda looks reminiscent of the space battles in Star Wars Battlefront 2.
