    Never really got into it in the past, but started up recently, and I am liking it so far.

    Plus it lacks the FPS element.

    I played it online however after I farmed my Rhineland Battleship in 2 weeks I got a bit bored of it lol.

    Yeah Freelancer is pretty easy to get into and has a continuous flow of action. Eve costs too much $$$ and takes too long to build up.

    Freelancer was pretty cool but yeah it can get quite repetitive, the missions/quests consist only of going somewhere and taking out some pirates.

    Freespace 2 on the other hand, while not as pretty was to space shooters as COD4 is to fps games.
