A growing collection of computer games that are freeware, open source or free to play.

In Space Cowboy Online, players can pilot their own space fighter ships (Gears) on an imaginary planet and upgrade skills or the Gear itself.

There are 4 kinds of Gears available to choose from, with each Gear having it’s individual unique characteristics. Gears can be upgraded to change color, performance, weapons, and so on in order to satisfy the gamer’s growth of the character.

A formation system is possible that is similar to the generic party concept of a Role-Playing Game. There can be a maximum of 6 players in a formation dependant on the formation leader at the center of the formation during battle. The performance of the formation depends on the player’s ability to work together and different formations require different skills and playing styles.

In addition to the formation, there is a brigade concept that is the equivalent to the guild term from other Massive Multiplayer Online games. A brigade can consist of 40 members, and have a specific brigade mark specified by the brigade leader to identify the brigade.

Space Cowboy Online has an intense battle system including Player vs Environment (PVE) and Player vs Player (PVP) elements. PVE elements are used for standard leveling from experience points, while PVP elements can be seen through 1 on 1 battles, formation (party) battles, and even brigade battles. As opposing nations exist, there will be large scale nation wars throughout the game servers resulting in a possibility of occupying enemy forces and increasing profits for ones own nation.

A large number of missions are available which bring the storyline into perspective depending on the player’s chosen nation and have it’s share of rewards.

There’s also an ingame Voice Communication System for 1 on 1, formation, and even brigade level.
