Soldak Entertainment announces that beta testing of Drox Operative has concluded, and release version of the action/RPG is now available for Windows and OS X. The game is available on this page and the playable demo is located here. Here's word:

In the new space race, the major races are scouting, colonizing, and expanding, trying to take over the galaxy by diplomacy, technology, war, or any other means their scheming minds can contemplate.

As a Drox Operative it's NOT your job to manage all of those annoying people, build thousands of buildings, play nice with your enemies, or balance the budget. It IS your job to pick the winning side and maybe even help them conquer the galaxy if you're being nice, more importantly though is to rake in as many credits as possible, well that and build the coolest, deadliest ship in the known universe. Not many screw with an Operative captaining a Dreadnaught!

Features:

Explore a dynamic and evolving galaxy

Explore a unique sector of the galaxy in every game, with different "monsters", ship components, quests, and even races

Fight in the galactic war between the various alien races

Battle hundreds of different enemy starships

Build the coolest and deadliest starship in the galaxy

Outfit your ship with thousands of components and crew

Adventure with your friends with co-op multiplayer

As Soldak says: Drox Operative will also probably run fine in Linux using Wine (our previous games have). The demo worked perfectly for me using Wine 1.4.1. Pity none of their games so far have really suited my tastes.
