  I thought I'd present my short observations on Freespace.
  It turns out that, in this game, space is full of
atmosphere.  If you accelerate and then stop accelerating
you'll coast to a stop.  Similarly, your ship has a
maximum speed, and all the thrusting (excluding afterburner)
you do beyond that won't speed you up.
  They wouldn't lost this willing suspension of disbelief
if they staged this as extremely-high-altitude scenarios
rather than in-space scenarios.
  If you can manage to ignore the dissonance, it plays
pretty well.  I'd love the chance to play it with a
joystick.  I did get the chance to play it on a
dual-processor machine.  It's single-threaded, so
the second processor makes no significant difference.
