The fellas over at ActionTrip have shot-up a preview on Digital Anvil's much anticipated space sim, FreeLancer. Here's some juice:

The money you earn can be put to good use immediately when you get back to port. You can customize your ship by striping off parts and buying new more powerful components or more powerful weapons that do different types of damage. Some guns are better at deleting shields, others are better at doing damage directly to the hull. You can purchase missile launchers that can then be loaded with a wide variety of ordinance. Some missiles seek targets on their own, a true fire and forget weapon, and others forgo tracking electronics to deliver a bigger payload. If you ship has the correct type of hard point, you can also add mine deplorers, larger shield generators and nanites that can repair damage to your ship while in combat. Also you can buy extra batteries for your shields so you can recharge them when they are drained by enemy fire.
