Digital download of the game is now avaliable from:
http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/freespace_2/
The FreeSpace Source Code Project (also known as "FS2Open"), was started after Volition released the FreeSpace 2 source code, which has elevated the features of the game far past its original capabilities. Although many improvements are graphical in nature, there are also a number of beneath-the-hood improvements for modding the game. This has helped spur the development of mods for other sci-fi universes, such as Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Wing Commander, and Star Fox. An active developer and modding community is gathered at the Hard Light Productions Forums (www.hard-light.net)
You can download the game and SCP for free.
one question. can you take the pilot seat of one of the larger ships or are you stuck in what appears to be fighters/ bombers?

@TheScorpion667 It's actually both ways... I've played enough of the game to hear them both.

@nazihto No, you're doing it wrong... it's "...arrow (IN) the knee". If you're gonna tag along with some geeky trend, may as well do it right.

@gijsterbeek1 (and to all), it's from the intro to Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime" album.

i can only say this game rocks hard. Spend more then 40 hours probably now on it. Best space fight sim up to now, with actually good graphics thanks to modding team. and it will still improve.
e.g. it even supports shader 3.0 now. other than that there are a crapload of campaigns to play with a really good story.
