I have noticed occasionally when flying about in freelancer, my ship barrel rolls (spins about on it's axis).
But I never been able to intentionally do this.

Is there some button combination or trick to initiate a barrel roll?

Unfortunately, no. It may be implemented in some later version of the mod, but there is no easy way to do a barrel roll.

That's a shame, it would be so cool to be able to do that in combat, would make combat more fun IMO.

Ah well, *Crosses fingers for that to be added iin a mod*

It's been added to other mods, currently the only way to do one is flip over and press spacebar.

Ah, I can see this being a source of much hilarity if introduced...

"Do a barrel roll!"

Technically you can't really DO a barrel roll...

On freeworlds though we have ship-rotation which will rotate your ship around clockwise or counter...

you mean rolling like all the Ai's do right?

Like they said, it's semi-possible to do it intentionally.

Mainly just a matter of looping around and around until you get all discombobulated and stuffs, and have your little pointer thinger pointed at a stationary/targetable object in the system, hit spacebar, wait like...2 seconds, and hit it again...It messes with your head though...haha.
