I have just finished playing the 14 Day demo of EVE ONLINE (unfortunately I missed 7 days due to holiday). I enjoyed it greatly yet I cannot afford to stump up the subscription fee, plus it ran pretty poorly on my laptop (getting frame rate of 8.1 though it was stil playable). So I am asking if any ones knows of a similar game that is free to play and yet still has the same kind of aspects to eve online. I did play a game called Galactic Empires once ( i think tht was what it was called ) but i didn't like the fact that you had to pilot the ship. So basically this is what i'm looking for in my game :- * Free to play * Online * Space based * Big Community * Autopilot on ships * The ability to trade * Pretty low spec bu still good visuals Any game reccomendations are welcome. Thank you for your time.

Well its not online but the X3 series has awesome space exploration and a living economy.

Freelancer 2 is online and also has exploration and a living economy. Though its community is small, you will still find a lot of people.

I would check out the X3 series. It may be offline, but its practically EVE Online - the online part.

Honestly, I'd say this is your best bet. Your not going to get the scope and gameplay of a P2P MMO from an F2P MMO.

X3 IS sort of Eve-"Offline" but the guy just said his laptop barely get 8 fps on Eve...I don't think he will do much better on X3 tbh. :D
