Get X2, or it's soon to come sequel, X3. It's made by http://www.egosoft.com and it so much more better than freelancer. It has about double the systems, vastly larger systems(in terms of interest), and more customizability. You can code scripts to change the game, such as add new ships.

I really wish that SF would have been more like Freespace, Freelance, and X2. That would have been so sweet.

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

But I can do that with thousands of ships in SE4

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?

Yeah a sense of taste

(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.
