Freelancer
Right, I've recently dusted off my copy of this and give it a quick bash. Freelancer was one of the first PC games I ever bought and I spent many a day flying round doing general piratey/saving the universe type things.
I've spoke to Berk and he is willing to run a server on Bukkake if we get enough interest. Now I know that people will mention the Space Game at the bottom of 5punk, but I believe the following points might aid the Freelancer cause:
It's FREE. No fucking Subscription!!!!
Sweepable
Easy as fuck to play
Nice graphics for an ancient game. 3 or 4 years old!!!
Computer controlled AI
Lot's of missions to be played via Coop
A large choice of expansive full Mod packs to further improve the standard game.
I've played it locally on a server before with 3 people before and teaming up to attack pirates is great fun!!
So what do thee vote? Yays or Nays?

I see it as a nice half-way point. While you can fly your ship manually, you do it with the mouse and there is some degree of click-to-go-there, particularly when making jumps. I tried Wing Commander again not long after playing quite a lot of Freelancer and the controls did my head in.Dog Pants wrote:Was Freelancer the one with Brian Blessed in it?
Also, with respect to Eve, it's absolutely nothing like it. More like X-Wing/TIE Fighter/X-wing Vs TIE Fighter/etc...
I'd give it a go. Played it to death when it was new, but it's been a while and I've lost my copy of it.

I have an as-yet untested ISO, which I'll try out tomorrow night and link in this post all stealthy-like.
Edit: it seems to work
