+1 One of the best space sim games out there. Too bad Freelancer 2 was scrapped....I suppose it doesn't matter too much since there are a lot of mods for this game out there. Heck, you might even find people still playing multiplayer.

If you simply enjoy the space setting I'd say X3: Terran Conflict is the best way to go, great game with beautiful graphics and effects that is a blast to play once you figure it out. Evochron Legends is another game like X3, not as flashy but still very good, both of those are space sims. On the strategy side, Galactic Civilizations 2, Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (Quite possibly the most underrated game ever, absolutely love it.), Sword of the Stars is decent, Armada 2526 I've heard is nice, similar to the Masters of Orion series, Space Empires 5 is an old favorite.

that game is what i would think to be the perfect choice.

A game I had on one of my recent Polls, Wing Commander Prophecy, is another choice, but it may be a tad too old to set up well on modern systems.

Nexus:The Jupiter Incident. Cheap on Steam, great story and characters, very unique strategy gameplay and still looks great.

Good Game + Sci-fi = Half Life 2. Although it doesn't take place in space. You could also try Mass Effect 1 & 2.

A scifi game that is sort of an "under the radar" type game. Oh, and it should preferably take place in space, I love space. I've already played all the mass effects, dead space, sins of a solar empire, the KOTOR games, jedi knight series....

rben21232

Galactic Civilizations II and all expansions...more of a TBS game, but it's excellent and has a great space sci-fi based theme. I would also recommend the sc-fi shooter...AREA 51. I found this to be really enjoyable and lots of fun.

I never had a problem with it...and I was running it (5 years ago) on a Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB ram and a ATi 9800Pro 256mb. Also never encountered and bug problems with either.....sorry you had bad luck with it......it was still a really enjoyable game that didn't get much pup.

Dawn of War II would be a good choice. Starcraft as well.

Freespace 2 was pretty epic. Dark Horizon is a newer space flight sim. The controls aren't as complex, but the story is good. And Star Wars: Republic Commando (Great FPS) and Battle Engine Aquila (AWESOME at about 150") are two more that I haven't seen listed yet...
