English:
Star Wraith 2 is an outstanding 3d space combat simulator by StarWraith3D Games. It was originally shareware but the author has given permission to Caiman to distribute the full version of the game for free. There are different missions and campaigns.
Just some of the missions include:

Instant Action, Freeflight: This is for flying practice and weapons testing and there are no enemies.
Instant Action, Random: You just do not know the mission objectives untill you go to the briefing.
Instant Action, Create: You determine the number of enemies, the environnment and many other aspects of the mission.
Mercenary: If you like to kill for money then this one is for you. As you earn more money you can buy other spaceships.
You can customize the weapons at your disposal. You can choose one of three different types of cannons from a choice of Standard laser Cannon, Sun Rage Plasma Cannon or Elispse Ion-Pulse Cannon. You can also pick your choice of type of missile from a selection of Echelon MKII LRM, Viper LRM, Striker LRM, Warhawk MKV MRM, Rockeye MRM, Starfire MKI SRM and Exodus V SRM. You can even choose how many wingmen you have (up to 3) and even give them orders during combat!
