You can play the open source port of Elite from the 80's to get everything except non-wireframe models for free.

I think I like the idea of Elite: Dangerous more than I would like the actual game.

Ohhhh a single player game with a massively open world with nothing to do except explore some of the most fuckawesome planets and universes ever put into a game? Yeah that sounds "fail" OP. :rolleyes:

Elite: Dangerous has an excellent flight model and combat system, but everything else is loving horrible.

I was maybe gonna get this and be an rear end in a top hat space pirate but apparently every ten minutes of cool combat gameplay has about four hours of ferrying clown shoes across the galaxy before and after. I just want Freespace 2's gameplay in an open world where I can be an rear end in a top hat pirate

That might have been the case at launch, but these days you can definitely take your starter ship and shoot your way to space riches without ever having to become Billy Bob: Space Trucker.

I have a cargo hold full of narcotics and I can't find anywhere good to sell them. I want to just dump these drugs and go shoot fuckers. Some space station just denied my docking requests for like 5 minutes straight.

Usually means the station is full. You can try going back to SC and dropping out again, it should toss you into another instance when you do that.

Also, just dump them. Small-scale trading isn't worth the effort, just blast pirates until you've got a couple million credits (won't take as long as you think), then either buy a Type-6 and become a demisperg trader or buy a better combat ship (Viper or Cobra, then save up for a Vulture) and start wrecking fuckers in conflict zones.
