I joined GOG because of Freespace 2. The game was brilliantly constructed, I felt so engaged by the story and gameplay. You never learn your character's name, you're just a no-name pilot who's skills earn him (or her) spots in elite fighter squadrons. The game makes you feel small, whether it's by flying past a capital ship, or by being in another star system while a major space battle occurs else where. However, even though you feel small, you aren't insignificant. Every enemy bomber you shoot down saves lives aboard allied ship, and every capital ship you wreck protects the special equipment and crews aboard allied freighters. If you are a fan of military science fiction, especially the Babylon 5 TV show and the Honor Harrington book series, do yourself a favor and pick up this fantastic game.
