Oolite incorporates trade, battles with pirates, bounty hunting, secret missions and more.
Oolite was written specifically for Mac OS X using Cocoa and opimised for OpenGL.

Oolite features high-quality sound and smooth, fast three dimensional graphics

And it's free. Oolite was written by Giles Williams, who was inspired by the work of David Braben and Ian Bell with Elite, however this work is an entirely independent interpretation and expansion of the original game.

Oolite has benefited immensely from the responses of the many people who volunteer their time and skills to test the game and to suggest and make improvements to this open-source project.

What's New:
High resolution collision detection.
More new equipment for players to add to their ships.
External views of the player's ship.
Scooped escape pods now pay rewards and ransoms for their rescue.
Many enhancements to the graphics, explosions and data screens.
Improvements to the intelligence of AI opponents and expanded scripting.
Many bugfixes and improvements to gameplay.
