You'd just spend your entire time in Ares or Erinyes, once you could afford them. That wouldn't be a bad thing, but they're all the more fun to fly for having spent so much time in Herc IIs.

FS2 had internet and LAN multiplayer. I know I played both of them, not sure if they're still going though. Well the LAN is of course.

Well AT that makes that game sound rather horrid I think I'd wait for X3 to come out and see reviews about that, although forging my own private empire and terrorizing entire systems has it's appeal http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

But I can do that with thousands of ships in SE4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Freelancer is so much more fun if you find a good mod. I have never had any major graphic problems so I can't help there.

What exactly is it that people like so much about Freespace? I played it for a time but it didn't seem like anything spectacular. I didn't think it was bad or anything but I didn't feel drawn by it either. Am I missing something? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Yeah a sense of taste http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif (lol ahahaha j/k)

Well Freespace 2 is much more compelling and manages to actually get an emotional reaction out of the player, I found myself more then once playing freespace 2 wanting to scream at the Damn shivans who blew my squadron out of the stars.

That and a lot of the missions in FS2 evoke a feeling of desperation (in a good way) where your sitting there going "Damn hold on one more minute just one more minute" while flak is exploding all around you and a major space battle is going on all around.

It's just a very visceral and excellently told story within the game.

Freespace had a strong story, compelling and movie quality about it. It made you feel like part of something. A cross between BSG/SW/Wing Commander/ and a real pilot all rolled up into one. It allowed for dynamic ship control, 360 3d space combat, and control over a squadran to you could send on missisions. I used mine to take on enemy ships hangers and I would go after the bombers to protect my ship.

It was just a load of kick *** fun to play.
