I was looking for a game that involves space traveling with a space ship, using hyperspace engines, fighting in space with your space ship, just like Stargate series or Star trek if you may.

Can anybody help me with this please ???


Thank you very much

Agreed. I think EVE and X3 may be too hardcore if you just want to fly around in a ship.

How much combat is there in X3 games? I didn't see much fighting in the screenshots, but the game looks very good...

It's mostly economy based so not a ton of combat but I have only spent a few hours in the game. :P

X3, Independence War 2, Everchron Mercenary, Freelancer (if you want something more simplistic), Freespace 2 for the bam bam with no freeform gameplay.

Freelancer is my #1 too. Perfect blend of combat and aquiring dosh.

X3 is good, but slow to start and retardedly incomprehensible at first.

EVE is a subscription based MMO and the combat is really dull, but if you're looking for an economics based game you might want to check it out.

Freespace 2 is good, but it's aged a lot.

Evochron Mercenary has great combat and lets you go down to planet surfaces, though there isn't much to do there.

Sin of Solar Empire is a fun RTS games that has a lot of spaceship battles and space travel. EVE is another great suggestion.

You can get into lots of combat in X3 if you want, including fighting destroyers and stuff. You can even buy your own destroyers! (I have 3 so far!)

Im a big fan of the genre myself and I would recommend X3: Terran Conflict or X3: Albion Prelude. Also keep an eye out for a game called Infinity: The Quest for Earth it looks incredible! There is apparently Elite IV being made too. :)

Freelancer is also a good game as people have said. Im not sure how/if it would run on newer operating systems though. We could really do with a Freelancer 2.

X3 is great. But again, I have to warn you that there is a huge learning curve. There are a billion commands and menus within menus, and it's not as bad as it first seems, but still you have to prepare yourself!

Also, there is a new star wars mod for freelancer called Freeworlds: Tides of War coming for freelancer this year, and will probably be the closest thing to a real star wars game that we've gotten in the past 5 years.

Didn't realize while I was warping to locations I was only moving "1 mph". Time is relative to the observer I guess :roll:.

EVE fits into the category TC was looking for....Or did you open the thread to bash what some one else suggested?

I'd second that it sounds (for no good reason, actually) like you want some action, and Freelancer is pretty much that exactly. Combat, combat, combat, and easy to jump into. No idea where to buy it now - is it on GoG? Otherwise, the other suggestions are all good - X3 is amazing (complex), EVE is great (MEGA-complex + MMO), Evochron Mercenary is great (not too complex + combat-heavy + coop MP if you've got friends for it). Star Trek Online is going free to play for everybody in about a week - it's fairly simple and easy to jump into, and I'm enjoying it a ton still. The space combat is pretty great if that's what you're looking for. Also, my friends and I have been playing what is literally THE NERDIEST GAME OF ALL TIME. Artemis. You quite literally play a coop game with your own 'bridge' stations while one guy is the captain and just tells all of the officers what to do. It's basically Star Trek LARPing.

The game is extremely trivial. But it has a charm. I really like the concept of space travelling and developers could have done much more if they had have the desire to do so.

Eve is a game that is set in space.

It's not really about flying in space, despite your ship being your main asset this side of a character chart.

It's more about being a space jerk to real people.

No im simply pointing out that he is looking for a space sim, not a point and click ship game that takes ages to do anything interesting or worthwhile in. or are you gonna lie and say your first XX hours of eve isnt mindless waiting for travel destinations to kick in and boring fly around and shoot - but just watching this happen combat?

Like others have mentioned, Freelancer, Is by far the best space game where you fly around.
