Descent 3's graphics are better then FreeSpace's. 
I have the D3 demo and the full version of FreeSpace. They are both stunning
games, and either graphics package would be more than enough to code a cool
game in. D3's has a dual engine that allows for different effects whether
you are inside or outside. (Read the developer's notes at www.outrage.com
while you download the demo 

Although all I'm interrested in, for now (so I can develop a simple game,
then update the graphics later) is a simple graphics engine. Anybody
remember X-Wing or TIE Fighter? That's what I want for my first engine.
(When the game is finished, I can use a FreeSpace or X-Wing Alliance style
engine for better graphics.
