looking for a space combat game

[Ruatha]

I've played Freespace 2, that is so far as I know the best space combat "simulator" yet released, it was released 1999 I belive.
Has there not been any better game in that genre released since then??

Anyone know of a good Space combat game, like X-wing and Tie fighter and Freespace?
Any game that's better than freespace 2?, preferably with the same license as Freespace 2;
When installing the game you get the message that you are free to copy the game for friends and relatives.. that's unusual!! and handy when you want to play multiplayer games with friends who don't have the game.
