SpaceSim of Dooooom

Has anyone played Wing commander, The lesser known Starlancer and Freelancer?
They were all made by Chris roberts, who last year kick started a new game based on Freelancer called Star citizen

What is star citizen .. well ... See here:

For their latest info, you can see http://robertsspaceindustries.com/

They are making it a massive MMO, with FPS elements, and space flying elements, and you can have your friends join you in your ship, and some really awesome features

They have pulled in $19 MILLION! it's insane, and it keeps going up!

if you join before November you can get some nice benefits for helping the game early.
Also be sure to go walking through your hanger, and see your ship and some of the elements in game.

Look me up on their site: Anoyomouse

Eve online is nothing like this ....
Eve actively encourages people to be assholes, and rewards you for it too (see article where someone stole like millions of dollars of real money items) and they were all like, eh, it happens, we're not going to do anything about it. >.<

I haven't looked at X3, i should

Also, if you've ever plyed and enjoyed Freelancer this game has the same atmosphere and stuff ... it's just worth it :P

My fave games of that genre are StarLancer, FreeLancer and Dark Star One
I was always hoping for a New Freelancer.

I hope this new thing has LAN MP.

Yup, They have 2 goals ...
1) self-hosted server for a persistent universe (think MMO Freelancer)
2) Self-hostable multiplayer servers for lan and "offline" play in your own privately hosted environment for your own players

And because it's being done without a publisher it's going to happen the way they want it to ... it's awesome ^.^
