A long time ago I used to play Descent and really feel in love with the
ability to move in 360 degrees. I think it was the strafing on the X &
Y axis that sold it to me really and I got very good at strafing and
keep a fix on my target.

When I had first heard about Descent Freespace (Conflict: Freespace) I
had been excited because I thought they would be taking Descent and
sticking it in space but sadly not :( (still a good game though).

So I was wondering is there any space game that uses a flight model
similar to Descent's?

Thanks

Rob
