Nothing compares to the greatness of FReespace. But FreeLancer is another Space simulation game, which is not like freespace in some aspects, as you can get better gear by working and tradeing ect.

Wing Commander is a older game (i think) and many have enjoyed that. I personally dont know wtf it is.

EDIT:
Wing Commander: Armada

Wing Commander is a good game. But I'm not going back.

I highly recommend Freelancer, and also Starlancer if you can find it.

Wing Commander - Secret Ops still active Community and it's free... for Germans :D
 If you're English, you must buy "Wing Commander Prophecy Gold", we Germans don't have "WC: P Gold" and so we can download Secret Ops :D


In my opion Freelancer isn't like Freespace... Freelancer is only a big joke, but not a Space-Sim.

I think Starlancer, Tachyon: The Fringe, Star Wars X-Wing Alliance are more Games you search for.

If you like Trading, then try one of the Privateer Remakes or buy X²...

Wing Commander 4......*looks for label* "The Price of Freedom"

Or Wing Commander 5: Prophecy

Freespace 1 was what pretty much ripped off Prophecy IIRC (or the two have strikingly coincidential identical plots :doubt: )

Anyway, I still have the originals of both games. I replayed Prophecy about a year ago. It was still okay to play, though it doesn't compare to FS of course.

Also, it should be noted that WC is Mark Hamill's best role - not Star Wars.

Yeah, it is stupid to relate two near-identical storylines, in two near-identical games, released within a year of eachother. :rolleyes:

Silly me :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, to point out I'm being sarcastic, here are images to show my mood.

Why? Freelancer is as just a good a game as any other. It has its highs and lows, and Freespace has its highs and lows as well.

As for my recommendations, Wing Commander is rather good, as well as any of the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter games.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Tie Fighter is an excellent game. I'd say the 2nd best space sim ever made. What's cool is that you fight for the Empire but it never feels like you're doing it just as a gimmick or something. It's a very polished game and I highly recommend it. :yes:

Tachyon: The Fringe is pretty good too. The capital ships aren't too well designed but almost all the fighters are pretty damn good, to say the least :D ;7
