Stooner: Think I can compare them as Space Sims, no?
tinyE: That's kind of like comparing apples to oranges. :D
Stooner: I can compare that, and I'd say: oranges are not as good as green apples, for my taste, at any time! ;p
You are too clever for me Stooner, I salute you. :D
Seriously, they are both AWESOME but Fresspace 2 is pure shooter while Freelancer is (as you know) a shooter and a lot of other stuff (trading, pirating, diplomacy, etc etc etc).
Also F2 had Robert Loggia while Freelancer has Ian Ziering
