I was just wondering whats the best type of Space game where your basically in any ship you choose in space above planets or in asteroid fields etc where you can just do what you like, like engage cargo ships, space stations stuff like that Smile.

I doubt theres a game with that much freedom, I thought Freespace was hence the name.

The only way i can see this happening is like a mission builder in a Space game.

Anyone know a game like this?

With awesome graphics?
Bloom Very Happy

Starlancer is Mircosofts version of Freespace...
Was really good too, indepth story and such...
a bit old but still very nice.

Freelancer is the next in the series after starlancer, but they changed the game very much as freelancer became a rpg.

imo Starlancer and Freespace are the best Space games around... the new ones either rpgs or have a story made for a 2 year old...
hate games that have u fly same ship throughout the game, most of the new ones are like that... the storying being that your the only hope of success in your prototype fighter or whatever.

its a shame that Volition wont release Freespace 3... Instead they have been making average FPS games and such...

Anyways Starlancer/Freespace 1 & 2 i would recommend highly Smile

Freelancer was good... you could go wherever you wanted, fight who you wanted. But in the core it doesn't give you full freedom. You do the story missions, after that there isn't much more to do except discover some secret regions and weapons and fight several different clans.

X2 is what you should get for full complexicity. The universe is huge, and you have full freedom over everything. Kinda like morrowind for space. You can build own space factories, send own convoys, handle with goods, collect them yourselves (or let that do by the cpu of course) have a full space industrie going. You can start wars against other factions, play them up against one another, be pirate, join factions, command huge battlecruisers, directly take place in a small fighters etc. Its pretty much full freedom. Graphics are good (bump maps, self shadowing etc) better than freelancer, and its less arcade flight feeling, much more space simulation...

Is X2 an RPG? What i want is a Space game where your actually flying the ships yourself not click and move etc.

Even though I am a huge Civ 3 RPG fan, I would just like a game where i can fly around in total freedom.

You should try Independence War 2.
No bloom but the graphics are still very nice with the best looking space backgrounds in a game ever. That's my own most personal opinion of course...
There's also a shitload of mods available for it.

Try freelancer in multiplayer mode. It's a lot of fun to hook up with some people and fly missions or try to get prototype weapons en very good ships.

In multiplayer you haven't got a story, you're free to do whatever you like.
A site about freelancer that's worth checking out is www.lancerseactor.com.

You can play online with a cracked copy of freelancer and you don't need to install any updates.
