Thargons were OP as ****!
Because it was difficult.
Because it didn't hold your hand - you had to figure it out.
Because you could BE A PIRATE WOOOOO!

I have no idea what you are talking about. Well before my time
* spits tea out *
I had an Amiga and an Atari 1040FM, don't forget the FM. No idea what it meant or even the model of the Amiga (pfft like I care) but I want acknowledgement of that FM
FM
Don't forget - it's an FM.
Also I'll take both games thanks, no need for competition!
FM = you could plug it into a TV rather than needing a dedicated monitor iirc.
I had an FM too, then an E. So there

The FM in the Atari model name meant that it had a built in Floppy Drive & Modulator for TV output. The Amigas had a separate modulator box.
The original Atari STs never had modulators built in.
Atari 520ST was replaced by the Atari 520STFM.

I'll have to say X3 : Terran Conflict (or any of the X-series really).
I played all of the X-series, up to TC which I only played for a few hours (forced myself to stop before it got too serious!).
Amazing games... take a while to get into but the depth is unparalleled. I won't let myself play them any more though - time just disappears into nothing! (just like it did with Frontier when I was a kid).

Surprised no one has mentioned Evochron Mercenary...
Is that game any good? It did not get good reviews.
I have not played a good space game since Freelancer. I tried Darkstar One, but I never got into it.
I am really looking forward to Star Citizen.
No one knows when X: Rebirth is out, i'm not even sure Ego knows when it's out any more.
I feel exactly the same. I've already pledged more to SC than I've probably spent on games in the last 5 years. If it fails I'm done with it all.

I found Eve anything but intense, I missed manual combat unless they've finally put in proper flight controls. I did play it for a couple of years mind
High end wormhole and medium size lowsec fleet based combat can be very intense in eve but it doesn't have anything that can compare to the seat of your pants experience of a wing commander type game.
Ooh I might have to upgrade my pledge from Bounty Hunter to Rear Admiral. I might ask for b/day money next week.
