Freelancer fan looking for something new?

I love freelancer... And I never found a good alternative. Any suggestions?

I played X3 and DarkStar One. But X3 is to slow for my taste and DS1 was, in my taste, not that good.

Thanks

EVE online? Free 14 day trial if you're interested. Maybe Sins of a Solar Empire. I found it incredibly boring but a lot of people like it.

Not that many space sims out there anymore.

Yeah, that's EVE. You chose certain skills to improve and its based off of a timed 'research' waiting period. The higher you want the skill to increase, the longer it takes, anywhere from an hour all the way up to a month I believe. In real time.

It's not for everyone. By far the most depth of any MMO I've played, not something you can just jump into.

I'm in a similar position to you and posted almost the exact same topic (http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26792010&tag=topics;title) last night.

I'm on my 5th day of the EVE trial and I'm liking it, otherwise I'm really not sure. There are some good suggestions in the topic i posted so you can look at some of those I suppose.

You could look into Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (PC). Might be something that sparks your interest. I know you can find it on Steam. I picked up the game on Steam during a Christmas/New Year blowout sale...not the most recent one, but the year before for like $4.99 or $7.99. It's only $9.99 now. I've got so many games that I haven't even got around to playing with this one much. It showed promise, but that was only with about 30 minutes of playing.

I'm a big fan of Freelancer, too. Aside from this and DarkStar One, I'm not really sure what else is out there for more recent space sim games.

I love Freelancer as well. In fact, I have it installed currently and still play it now and then with various mods.

I always hoped that MS would pick it back up and make a 2nd one; updated with today's graphic capabilities, though it still looks pretty nice.

look up the evochron series

evechron legends is newly released, but I think renegade is considered to be the best

edit: actually it may be too slow for you.. it paced kinda like x3

you might look up freespace 2... it is entirely about combat missions, but is considered a classic. it's also free, if you find fs2open project

Thank you, all of you.
