X3 is good but not really worth the 50 bucks IMO.
Homeworld is the best 3D RTS ever made in history. Period. Hell, the best RTS ever.
Freelancer is damn good fun too.
Try Elite also--google it, there are free java applets with the game emulated. Its 3D and has tens of thousands of star systems and hundreds of enemies.

If you want to look at the 3D RTS then Nexus is supposed to be good, but havent tried it myself.
Nexus isn't an RTS--its a tactical space combat sim.
Its a linear RPG with a tactical combat system, basically. But its still quite awesome.

'Dark Space' is now in 'Open' Beta - but learning the UI that sucks... just like EvE did way back in the day when I first started.
Bah the old UI was 10 times better then the new junk. You could actualy move your scanner around and get a piper over missiles to easily see their range and smart bomb them. :)
The games gotten better but the UI has tanked.
Are you serious?
The old "threats" system was completely useless compared to the incredibly useful overview, and the blue scanner was junk--everyone I know just turned it off.
The old UI didn't have the ability to remove passive modules from your modules list, and it didn't have asset search. And there was no "show only overview settings" button on the scanner--thank god for that.
And now we even have market in space!

I was talk about learning EvE's UI... When I first started EvE was very complicated..well If I try Freelancer or Nexus I have to start all over again and re-learn the UI. I wasnt talking about EvE's UI sucked or anything.
Freelancer hardly has a UI at all--there's like 4 farking buttons or something.
Nexus has a few more, but its nothing compared to EVE.

Nexus screenshots look amazing... What to buy/demo 1)Freelancer 2)Nexus ...I cant pick.
Same question: 2 Posts up
Freelancer lasts longer. Once you beat Nexus, thats about it--you've won. Plus its older, and thus cheaper. It has LOADS of non-storyline content of all sorts, basically.

Nevermind, Nexus looks better. I hate how freelancer you sit inside your ship to move.. I cant do that. Nexus ships models also look a lot better than Freelancers.
Well obviously, as Nexus is about 3-4 years newer.
They're different games.
Freelancer is an RPG/space sim similar to Elite or X2. Nexus is a tactical multi-ship combat simulator, with a linear storyline and about 20-something missions.

what?? you fly more than 1 ship at a time?? is Nexus hard to understand/control ships in space? Is it all 3rd person view? Can you learn the game in less than 2 hours?
This is why i always resort back to EvE... I already know everything...
Nexus is 3rd person and you can have 10+ ships in a fleet. Its not too hard to learn, but some of the missions can be incredibly aggravating if you don't know the trick behind them. Save often.

Jumpgate is ancient... and to be honest completely outdated and crap by modern standards.
Hell, if Vendetta Online is still around, that was certainly better than jumpgate at least in terms of flight physics.
