Evochron Mercenary, supposed to be out beginning tomorrow (or 
thereabouts).

They have other older games along the same vein as well.

But I would highly recommend the X games (the most recent one is the best 
IMO), but you're right they're not everyone's cup of tea.

There's also the Privateer remake: http://privateer.sourceforge.net/

Freelancer was great for what it was, but good luck finding it somewhere.
