I saw some posts on other space games out there, like star wars and such, so i wanted to share a upcoming game in the works!

Star Citizen is from the maker of wing commander and freelancer, he is working hard trying to bring a mmo to the pc platform by 2013

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1Zc2oxijVY
Site : http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/ (full trailer)

anyhoo, the pvp should be out of this world!!

    I loved Wing Commander when I was younger, haven't seen or heard of it in ages though. A confession some people find hard to believe is that when I first saw Star Wars and saw Luke running out to his uncle, my first thought was "Is that Colonel Blair?":D

    This game could be the game that makes me forget this silly little game called Star Trek Online.

    Wing Commander holds a special nostalgic place in my bitter old heart. If this is set within the same universe, with the same storytelling sensibilities, I may never return to the Alpha Quadrant once this thing drops.

    Good Old Games sells older games for cheap after tweaking them to run on modern systems. If I wanted to go through Wing Commander again, I'd probably just but them there again so I won't have to work at it.

    Ohhh an MMO space fighter game does sound fun though. I played one way back called Raider Wars that never made it out of testing. It was great fun. One of the ships looked like a flying ring. The idea was that people shooting at it would shoot at the center, letting the shots just fly through the empty hole. :P It worked pretty well until someone actually landed a hit with a missile, which would send the thing spinning like a coin that was just flicked. I'd have to close my eyes and just wait to be finished off after that.
    I miss my _.

    That looks awesome. Though at the same time, it's a bit of a shame, cause it seems like this is another space sim without freefall, with a speed limit and a ship that'll just stop if you let go of the throttle. (That's my second most major gripe with EVE, right after the learning cliffface...)

    do some more searching the physics are newtonian, but you have the option of turning on stabalizers like in evochron so you can fly 'normlaish' or you can turn them off and use inertia, sliding etc....
