*gives lordkosc the evil look*
we had a topic about this some time ago, and you posted in it, like a gasillion times
Well i dont remember the name of the topic tho..

But it does look cool and all, but when you say free, is it totaly free? Dont ppl have to buy Freelancer to play this mod?

nope its FREE!

and I don't recall posting in any topic like this before...

its based off the Freespace 2 client... which is OPEN SOURCE

and its standalone, so Freespace 2 isn't needed.

But im sure there has been another post about it tho, but whatever

Downloading the demo as we speak, is it any good?

I dunno whats up with the image, if you click on it and select "view image" it works fine... I blame Ironclads website!

No I never babbled about this before, and remember all the topics I post here are very important.

Let me know how the demo is, I have yet to play it...

ive tryed 3 missions so far..

The game is totaly LMAO, after the tutorial mission, i were to patrol the asteroid field. We were 2 squads.
First i was told to follow green team, and i did, but all of a sudden they were all yelling and screaming about someone not following orders LMAO. And i was like duh idiot..

Then i notiched a flashing text "follow waypoints"... but too late and the enemy where over us, and i was blamed for one of my pilots died.
And they keep reminding me what i did in mission 2, and when i had to have another pilot on my team, that person became mad and said she didnt like to be on my team, as of what i did. But she had to follow orders (hehe)
Even within the mission 3 they were still yelling and screaming at me. LOL

In mission 3 i had to protect a mining ship, first i thought i just had to follow it, just to make sure if any hostil ships would attack it. So i was like all lasy and listning to all them yelling. I didnt understand why they were shooting at the asteroids before it was to late. I was also to protect it from the asteroids too...
So in the breifing after the mission, she said i was lasy and stuff.. And those of us who think they were viper pilots rise there hands. (so i did in RL) she then starts to laugh at me.. and said we were a bunce of lasy and *censored* pilots haha

Man that was fun.
Buuut the game also has its bad sides, when it comes to controls
No mouse control. So all controls are on the keyboard, well thats fine, but the problem is when you need to press alot of keys at the same time.

So you cant strafe and shoot. You cant strafe and steer at the same time.

Well besides from the worst controls in history, the game is pretty fun to listen to haha

to strafe use shift-1 and shift-3
to steer use numpads
to shoot use ctrl or space for missles
to strafe up/down use shift-+ and shift-enter

Got it working, after some initial sound issues, game is really nice. Now I gotta get my 360 controller to work with it..

Umm...It isn't installing. Setup installs a little, tiny bit, then it stops responding. Guess I won't check it out then.

Let it run, it hangs for a few minutes... But then all of a sudden installs fine

And you didn't know about the mouse function, and on top of that, you actually try to play with the mouse ?

I always played with the mouse, ascending to the rank of Captain before uninstalling the game, only to be reinstalled years later and run under the SCP.
