One assumes you know of Oolitewww.oolite.org
Elite, basically, with heavily tarted-up graphics. Also, you can get every version of Elite that was ever released for free from Ian Bell's horrific website. Or at least you could. I just went and it appears he hasn't paid his server bills.
Plus, wiki.alioth.net/index.php/FFE_D3D Fuck this Elite bullshit, this is close to the real deal. Fuck yeah.

Never heard of it, is it modern, old, in-between?To be honest I still sometimes play Elite II on DOSBox, I love it way more than is healthy.

The X series is very current.Series started in about '98 with X, then X2 The Threat and onto X3 Reunion & Terran Conflict. They've just released X3 Albion Prelude and I think there's a new X4 out soon. very good space trading/fighting game - though a sapper of free time ;)

HmmI seem to have little enough free time as it is. Might have to sit this one out until I'm unemployed or win the lottery.
