XG Fox Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 The best space combat game ever. Anyone else play it? I just got my new Saitek ST290 Pro joystick yesterday, and it's the most AWESOME thing to use for that game! Killing SF Maras has never been easier. The Shivans are the bad guys, but for some unknown reason they get the coolest ships... Here's a few screenshots... One of my wingmates during a nebula mission v SF (Shivan Fighter) Mara! v Fun with an SJ (Shivan Juggernaut) Sathanas ... Juggernaut is the largest class of capital ship in the game, they're normally around 5 kilometers long. More fun with a Sathanas... And, here's some better pics of the SF Mara and the SJ Sathanas... Sathanas: Mara: Oh, and just for fun, SD (Shivan Destroyer) Ravana: Sure, they look small in pictures... but wait til you fight these things in the game! The Ravana you first encounter in a nebula... and your visibility sucks SO bad that you can only see part of it at a time! Look! v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithos Kionisu Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Looks cool, is it from the same people who made freelancer? (<- best space sim ive played so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XG Fox Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 I've never heard of Freelancer, I might go check it out to see what it is. Volition made FreeSpace 2 though. And I just beat it last night... final mission = :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig11 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I havel played it alittle, It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XG Fox Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Fighting the Ravana was fun... but wait til you get to fighting the Sathanas... its a slice of hell doing that. It's SO hard if you don't know how to do it correctly. EDIT: Just thought of this... if they ever get FS2Net back up and functional again, do we want to form a Freespace 2 clan? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XG Fox Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Why can't you download it? Is it a parental issue, or do you not have bittorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithos Kionisu Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Why can't you download it? Is it a parental issue' date=' or do you not have bittorrent?[/quote'] So what? Its freeware? Sweet. But if it's only in bittorrent forget it, for me bittorrent transfers at 1 kbs on a hish speed dsl WAY to slow for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XG Fox Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Ludvig's right. I've had slow bittorrents before that went SLOOOOOOOOOW like you're talking, Mithos. And I have cable internet, T3 even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithos Kionisu Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 sp where would I find the torrent for this game? (assuming its freeware) i love space fighter sims, there arnt enough of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Meh you need to upload it if possible XG I would and post a link to it but I dont know where ... and this game is AWESOME!!!! I got it AFTER you did XG and I played it until I beat which was like 2 days >.> <.< AND You think your Saitek rocks.. As Steve9 says... I WILL SHOW YOU MOUSE POWER!!! but a StarFox Clan would RULE!!! We would have to designate wingmates and positions and such and have a competition beforehand to see who earns the position to squadron leaders... im gonna go play right now and check if its back up online... EDIT: OK I uploaded the torrent and it is %100 free hands down... when FS2.net gets back up ill have either me or XG post a link here so you can get FS2Open version and have multiplayer... http://www11.rapidupload.com/d.php?file=dl&filepath=2494 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 28.8k dial up and it was better than that!!! and if your not using it I HIGHLY 100% RECCOMEND BitComet... then if you like me and have slow internet you can ban the IP address to anyone you are uploading too... I mean it took me 2 days about 30 hours for it and I was getting 2-4kbps at times... If you dont have it I really do suggest BitComet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mithos Kionisu Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 is there a way to turn off inverse look? its kinda anoying. Also, does anyone know of a .POV importer/opener plugin for 3ds max? i wouldnt mind playing around with some of the ship models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger One Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 So is it a Full Program you download, or do you need another Program to patch it into, or have the disk(s) handy for it to draw info from during instalation? I've seen all 3, but the most common type of downloaded programs like these are the 2nd one. (Best example i've got is Star Wars: Warlords for Homeworld 2. Its pretty fun, turns Homeworld 2 into the Best Star Wars Space-RTS i've ever seen, and its got sweet graphics to go with it. Just don't max out the settings or the AI will overbuild and lag you to death.) Also, what site do you go to for it? Thanks for any Info XG.
