A gr8 atmoshperic space game

Ok,

Me wants a pc game with great space graphics with stars (obviously) and planets and such, where you can roam around in your aircraft and look at the scenes etc etc

I know a bit specific but something along those lines would do nicely:D

Just basically a space game with gr8/gud graphics ....you can battle in space or wahtever, just a gr8 space atmosphere please....

did i say space? :P

i can think of a few.

theres freespace which is a very combat focused game. u cant explore in it though but its a cracking game. theres a free version out now called freespce 2 scp which is freespace 2 with better graphics and some enhancements.

theres also freelancer. this is also quite combat focused but there more too it. u can explore, land on planets and space stations and trade stuff. a very enjoyable game imho but it does get a little boring after the story. u cane explore afterwards but the range of activities u can partake in is limited imho. good game though.

if u want an MMORPG in space then eve is very good. there alot to learn in it but the tutorial is quite good. again u can trade, explore, etc etc. there is a monthly fee though.

theres also the x series. i would recommend either X2 or X3. these would be alot like eve but offline. explore, trade etc etc. controls are a bit naf imho but still a very nice game.

thats all i can think of....theres probably more.

X3:The reunion

Homeworld/Homeworld 2

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

And one to keep an eye on in the future ; Sins of a Solar Empire.

Well im downloading x3 reunion from steam it looks good, as it looks like the best graphically?

By the sounds of it Freelancer is the other one i should be trying too?

Might try the battlecruiserone too if it allows you to walk around!!

X3 is a pretty good game, definitely beautiful to look at, but it really requires a lot of thinking to do well in that game. Either that, or a lot of time... manipulating the economy is pretty important if you ever want to get a big capital ship (or a fleet of them) and keep them maintained.

Worst thing about the game is that it includes starforce, but there are workarounds to that.

A crappy protection softwar, just remember to patch the game and it will go away

Freelancer is imo the best space sim(leaving out the really old ones of course), it has a good story and gameplay, and unlike most space sims it's very easy to get into. Tho X3 might indeed be closer to what you're looking for.

There's an opensource space combat sim on sourcefourge which is quite interesting.
It's a remake of Wing commander: privateer.

Graphics aren't top, but the game is nice
