Memorable moments for me would have to be from the Descent: Freespace series. The massive scale of the capital ships, a storyline of humanity getting it's ass kicked with no hope (Freespace 1) and the awesomeness of the beam weapons in Freespace 2.

Loved FS2 beam cannons... Getting blasted out of space by something thousands of times your size was great. Sadly I haven't felt that type of awe since this game.
They release freespace 2 source code and the community has updated the engine lots of times for higher textures, graphics, etc. Looks quite a bit better now than the original.
Look up Freespace 2 Open
