Jumpgate is about the closest you can get to flying in space. It is fluid space, so there is a tad of gavity. You can be a miner, or commerice boat captain to make money. Lots of different mission. The enemy are called conflux. Space marine life. The nastest foe Ive had in ANY sim Ive done.

With the steam of new on-liners out there. JG has only about 100-200 regular players, so you do get a lot of one on one from good folk. On the other hand the conflux run rabid, and you have to run for your life a lot.

The learning curve is real high, but then so are most of the newer on-liners. BTW thye do use both energy and projectile weapons. either way the flight dynamics will take you a few weeks to get the hang of. The combat dyamics will take you a lot longer.

Its a free download and you can zip about off-line. try it, if you like it, then you can go on-line and run for your life.

Oh yeah there are grievers. Players that have nothing better to do than to hunt down noobs and blow them a part. It is a full PVP sim.
