Well....it's time to replace good old FS2 online I guess,...anyone have any suggestions ? From what I've seen in stores lately it seems this genere has been sleeping for a couple years :(

There's also Elite 4. There's a FAQ at the official site, but I haven't looked at it.

heh I don't really call Bridge Commander a Space Flight Combat Sim :D

Basically anything along the lines of FreeSpace, StarLancer, XWA, etc. Especially if it's got a good MP side to it.

Incredibly fun, just no one knows about the damn game :/

I want a space sim with eye popping explosions, great special effects and star backgrounds, dozens of huge ships, hundreds of fighters duking it out between them, evading flak and certgain death, great plot, good textures, and great voice acting! Aaah, Freespace 2, there it is.... :D

But seriously, I want a game that is ATLEAST as immersive as FS2, with great chunky explosions, that shake you're ship and good gameplay. Oh well, the way things are going now, all we can expect anymore for the PC are MMRPGS, RTS's, FPS's, and maybe the occasional The Sims release... Too bad. :(
I have returned... Again...

well, there is I-war (ever checked the forums main page :p ), Freelancer, which is soon to be released (for about 3-4 years now), a lot of space-rts' in the making, thats about all I can think off the head.

I-war of course isn't too online, but it's well worth the $10 they ask for it.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
