I don't know how I missed this game, but I'm glad I found it now. If you loved Elite, the original, Colony Wars and X-wing vs Tie Fighter then you will love this game. Even though it was written in 1999 it has aged remarkably well, but if you want to have the ultimate FS2 experience you have to checkout Freespace Open. The 2014 mod makes this game like watching a TV show. Epic space battles that make you feel like you're in an episode of Babylon 5. Be warned though, while you can play with a mouse, I highly recommend you get a flight stick, it adds an even deeper level of immersion to an already incredibly atmospheric game.
