Stumbled upon my old installation disk a couple months back and didn't think much of it, but the release of Starpoint Gemini 2 is bringing up a lot of comparisons to Freelancer.
I played it many years ago and my long term recollection was that it's okay. Kinda meh, But with all the recent mention of the game I took a look at it over on mobygames and now I'm thinking I might be remembering some other title. Some of the screenshots are vaguely familiar but there are some other things etched in my recollection of the game that don't match the screenshots at all.
One specific thing I keep thinking about is that there was some sort of hyperspace travel and that you could be yanked out of hyperspace and thrown into combat. Does that sound about right? I'm hoping that was a different game because I remember that part being a real annoyance after about the 50th occurrence.
Got a lot of biz traveling to do over the next three weeks so maybe that's a good opportunity to give it another go.
