Navy Field is a game where you start with a crew and a small frigate and join massive naval battles to gain experience and credits to upgrade your ship and crew experience. Eventually you will have to hire on more crews and maintain a powerful warship full of airplanes and/or torpedoes.
The fights are between usually two teams, not necessarily even in numbers, but even in firepower. Generally these teams are random unless you get involved in the clan stuff. You play on a stretch of ocean and attempt to manuever and fire against the enemy ships until they are all sunk or you are all sunk. There are a several different types of weapons you can concentrate on, and different ship types from Battlecruisers and Carriers to Submarines.
You can download the client for Navy Field here. It is free, and very low on the spec requirements. I recommend choosing the third banner from the Client Download list and then choosing the middle download: NF1244_fullclient.exe 428584 kBytes

Navy Field.
Nostalgia all up ins.

You know what would be awesome? A space themed Navy Field.
I do hope they've done something about the sometimes torturous waits for the rooms to become ready, though
Edit: Ow. My eyes. I forgot this had a fixed resolution. It looks so bad on my 19" LCD.

Edit: Wait, you have to pay for it now? I thought all it had was a cash shop.
Further edit: Navy Field is nothing like Eve. Why? Because you actually directly control your ship.
There's also this in their guide, but it could be out of date:
1) Navy Field is a free game, therefore, it is not mandatory to purchase subscriptions or items.
Edit: Nothing beats the feeling of successfully navigating a Torpedo Wall.
So what you're trying to tell me is that Navy Field involves a ton of sitting around mining before the game starts being fun in any way shape or form?
PS you don't have to mine for eve to be fun; join a low-sec pirate corp, so long as the corp arent stingy they'll more than likely be happy to provide you with warfunds to keep the battles flowing. A testament to this, I did it myself a few weeks ago, rolled a rifter pilot and have not gone back to my main since.
They introduced a pay to play model right after beta ended. But in all honesty the game was nowhere, and in my opinion still nowhere, near the amount of polish and fixing it needed to justify a pay to play model. Obviously other people agreed because they got rid of the subscription thing pretty quickly and made it free to play with restrictions on xp and money gain unless you bought special account boosts from the store.
Positioning and flanking then become extremely important in larger warfare; currently in EVE it doesnt matter where you approach from- only the distance, vector and speed.
Edit: I think we're talking about different topics; I wasn't referring to projectiles, but the cannons firing them.
Example: ship can only fire from its front 30 degrees either side with main weaponry.
A projectile in a vacuum on earth will follow a parabolic trajectory, you mean there is negligible gravity in space. And to be a complete pedant, if an object has a weight then by definition it is being affected by gravity (weight being the action of gravity on a mass).
Oh and wren you're completely misinterpreting him, I think he means turrets can traverse the same angle in the same time regardless of how powerful they are? I dunno, I've never played eve.

I plan to eventually get a Europa though.
Edit: Hate how little damage you do when first starting out.
*might be stopped
ed: Okay yeah there are clans, do we have a PA one?
Oh, now I remember why I stopped, I need 300k credits for an Admiral Hipper and I also only have 9k points for crew.

Maybe I can be a suicide torp ship.
Now that they have Submarines, you can go torpedo AND dive underwater where people can't see you.
