1. Introduction

FreeRaider is a 6DOF 3D multiplayer online space combat game. It was started after betaplaying RaiderWars and then the game was taken offline and never was seen again. Since i felt the original concept of RW was quite cool and fun i also realized its not enough to attract more people. Everyone who feels inclined can contribute to the source, the art (that is: models, textures and sound, storyline) and the gameplay as a whole. Developer's Project page at SourceForge:
