I've never played any of these, just wanted to know what you all think of them.

If you can find Freespace 2, I suggest that. However, Freelancer is also a load of fun and a better diversion in the long run thanks to the fact that following the main story you can just go around killing and looting at will. But FS2 really has a superior main story and main story missions, as well as the biggest capital ship models I've ever seen.

Old school tie fighter is the best!

freelancer I guess. Ive never really been a fan of the genre.

Loved Freelancer, but it got repetitive after a while.

Still voted for it, though

I have X2, it's slow going though. Didn't like Freelance though. Loved the Freespace 2 demo but never got the game for some reason... might have to find it on budget.

I played EVE, and Earth and Beyond. Both sucked

I was in OEC in Jumpgate. They disbanded and most went to Eve. I said F that, went PS Beta, then Iraq.

And it's good to hear from ya.

I have freespace 2. Never played it. After seeing a pic of the disk in ebay I remembered I had it. Space sims are the best kind of game. I will have to play through that game sometime.

Freelancer is the most recent one I played so I'll vote for that...

The Battle Cruiser/Universal Combat series is good if you like reading... I have Battlecruiser Millenium and I can't figure the damn thing out...

Bah, voted for Freelancer by accident, meant to vote for Freespace.
X2 sucks, horrible controls.

Freelancer OWNS. Skill-based, awesome universe, exploration is half the fun, et cetera. The only thing near it was Tachyon: The Fringe (absent from this poll.)
