FreeSpace's gameplay involves the player piloting a starfighter using mounted weapons to destroy enemy starfighters, or performing reconnaissance behind enemy lines, or escorting other starships. Single player mode is executed in the form of a campaign, which follows a story as a linear sequence of missions are executed.

FreeSpace 2 takes place entirely in outer space. The playing area is vast when compared to the small starfighters piloted by the player and the effective range they have. This space is populated with interstellar bodies such as stars, planets, asteroids, etc. The implementation of nebulae as an interactive environment is one of the most distinctive and crowning aspects of FreeSpace. Flying through a nebula involves impaired vision, and occasional disruptions to flight electronics. The implementation of the nebulae has become known as an eerie and suspenseful arena of play.
