Help me name this game!

[Machi]

Hi guys,

I heard of a video game a few years ago and now I can't remember the name. What I do remember is that it was based in space, it was open ended, it was multi-player and online. It wasn't freelancer but the closest thing that I can compare it to would be that game.

Does anyone know what game this is/was? I would really appreciate it as this is driving me crazy (and a bet is riding on it).

Thanks for your help!

X-wing v Tie-Fighter?

The 'closest' games to freelancer are probably the Privateer series, but they weren't multiplayer (and I don't think Wing Commander was either). Elite was a similar genre, but was probably around before multiplayer was invented!
