Vega Strike, The Free Space Sim

I've been playing a game called Vega Strike recently, a game in which the player hauls cargo between planets and star systems, fights off pirates, and many other interesting things. Vega Strike is very open ended, and the player can opt to skip the storyline completely and go off to make his or her fortune without having to do all those structured missions. The game universe is very large, and has loads of places to land and trade cargo.
Different ship classes abound, and there are many factions and species whom the player can interact with (I recommend not fighting if you don't have to. If you make everyone mad you'll die).
Storyline independent missions are easy to find, and wingmen can be hired to protect you from attack.
This is a good game that I would recommend to anyone who likes these types of games, or to people who like the idea of the game I just described. Since this game is free, there is no harm in downloading it just to see if you like it. I shall include this link to the Vega Strike web page where you can download the game.
