I found out about this today - the Starwraith company is releasing SWIII for free!

It's a 3D space combat sim. Very fun to play, imo.

That looks pretty cool! I'll have to check it out. What kind of multiplayer modes exist?

Be careful when your using abbreviations, I mistook your Star Wraith for Star Wars.

Quite a few.

lists them.

It'd be nice if we could put together a game sometime.

It's a great game! Although the Single Player game is really short. But I used to play the short skirmishes. One of these days I'll get some of the newer releases.

It's a genre which you just don't see much of these days.

I believe the developer is also a Christian. I talked with him several years ago when the game came out. He definitely gives terrific service. We talked back and forth, and he actually made improvements to the game while I was writing a review. He listens to the forum users. A lot of what are in the games is due to player feedback. He is committed to providing great service!

I would love for his games to get some major notice.

Yes, the developer(Vice) is a Christian.

Ditto, S^2. I have some of his other games(Evochron Alliance, Arvoch Conflict, SWIV Reviction, Riftspace), and they're all terrific games.

It's amazing what Vice has created, and his customer support is amazing as well.

On another note, he's offering Reviction and Riftspace together for half off the usual price.($19.95)
