Recommend spaceship games

I have only played very few spaceship games. One was Tachyon: The Fringe (PC)

Anyone know of any other game that's in space and maybe you get a ship to drive around?

Ahhhh Tachyon, featuring the almighty Bruce Campbell as the voice actor! That was a good one, RIP Novalogic

Really? I thought they were just making simulations for the military now

Freelancer? I haven't played the other games so i don't fully know if Freelancer is like either of the two mentioned, but you fly around... in a spaceship.

I thought it was fun, butgot stuck after awhile and i just didn't go on. The online was pretty cool too... I always wanted to have a giant Frigate with like 20 guns on it, but the servers usually lagged too much to play.

Other then the ones mentioned..

FREESPACE 2, its free and legal download to one of the best games of all time.. Don't trust me look it up in Gamespots hall of fame.. Further more its heavily modded, watch the link in my signature.. It is a compiled video of multiple scenes in Freespace 2.

X3 Terran Conflict you can fly every ship in the game, from tiny scouts to massive capital ships.

Hey guys!

Sorry im new to this whole posting deal..

I was just wondering a quick question!

I am on the search for a spaceship commander game, but you get to control which weapon to use, when to turn on shields, and so on. So basically, if anyone has seen the Stargate: Atlantis series, i would love a game where i can play the roll of the colonel steven Caldwell, General of the Deadalus.

I've already looked at games like X3: Terran Conflict but the game play isn't what i was hoping for.

If anyone can help me find said game i would be most appretiative.

Sincerely,

Bakos133

ps. bonus would be if you could walk around the interior of the ship.. similar to mass effect 2 & 1

It took me two years to try and get the games recommended here. It was tough but eventually I got around to play most of them, except Freelancer which was impossible to buy. The last one I am playing is X3 Terran Conflict but since I am only a few hours in it doesn't look fun yet, I read it takes time to get to the fun stuff. So far my favorite has been Tachyon, Bruce Campbell's voice acting increases the game's awesomeness by a lot.

Well thank you all for the replys, even though my reply is two years late.

If anyone has more Spaceship/Sim/Shooter games to recommend I am all ears, or should I say eyes lol.

I just beat Project Freedom, and while it's certainly not a great game, I'd definitely say it was enough fun to be worth $2.99. There are 21 missions lasting about 4-5 hours total, the controls are really solid, there's a basic upgrade system for your ship which is satisfying enough to carry you through the game. In addition, the graphics are fun and make great use of color, and the writing is cheesy and generally amusing. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a serious space combat game, but for three bucks, it's a fun little action space shooter that left me feeling pretty satisfied. Check it out if you're feeling a bit non-commital.

1. Freespace 1, 2, and Silent Threat are the greatest ever created bar none. Great graphics, sounds, storyline, atmosphere, weapons, ships, etc. even by today's standards. There is also an open source for updated graphics, mods, etc. that is also great!

2. Independence War 2 - Fan-f'ing-tastic! Newtonian physics, open game play, great weapons, varied missions and story,

3. Freelancer (the "prequel" to Tachyon) and a better game, but overhyped for what it was supposed to be.

There is also Evochron Legends, not a bad game at all

This genre is lusting for an update. Heres to hoping a competent devolper understands theres a market for it. Gimme another TIE Fighter!

Darksomething...I forgot the whole name, but it was good for an "arcade" spacesimmrbojangles25

I actually got Freelancer and Independence War 2, that was tricky.

Ty for the info everyone.

I used to play Tachyon- The Fringe! That was a pretty sweet game for it's time. My personal favorites are:

-Descent- Freespace

-Freespace 2

-Wing Commander Prophecy

-Wing Commander Secret Ops

I recommend waiting for Infinity to come.

Even if it has no set release date.

WOW. I really want this to come out and fulfill all of my dreams of a great modern space sim.

Holy crap.... that game has potential. Going from space to the surface of a planet is pretty cool. I guess I am impressed by that due to EVE Online's lack of that ability. And speaking of which, CCP better pull a miracle out of their backsides when this comes out because I'm certain Infinity will draw off the same player base who also enjoys or enjoyed EVE Online
