Battleships Forever FS2 mod
Battleships Forever is a top down strategy game involving battleships. And at least one person was porting a good deal of the cruisers, corvettes (i have no idea about fighters), and a few destroyers from fs2 to this indie game. This is old stuff. Perhaps some of you know about it already.

Here's a few screens for an example.




Old stuff, hopefully downloadable and able to be messed around with. Figured people might find this interesting.
The orion was ported. The porter was thinking about porting the sathanas and colossus (i don't think they did...who knows, i just found this stuff).
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

It wasn't a mod. It was a guy recreating the ships from FS2 using the game's ship maker. Battleships Forever is also very old and kind of temperamental, stability wise.

Nonsense.
BSF was perfectly stable.

It just lagged. Horribly. Whenever you had a big custom ship (not with these)

That game is still up for download? Went to the original site, but found nothing.

People on the BSF forums would disagree.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

Re: Battleships Forever FS2 mod
People on the forums from what i did read, tended to note that juggernaut sized ships with a lot of pieces were what made the game load slow, and perform slow (reason for the unfortunate disinterest in juggernauts they had). Anything else is news to me.

It wasn't a mod. It was a guy recreating the ships from FS2 using the game's ship maker. Battleships Forever is also very old and kind of temperamental, stability wise.
Alrighty then :p BSF FS2 ship pack :)

Funny that. I am from there.
It's where I found out about FreeSpace.

It was pretty much perfectly stable in its base form.
It's just the scale of creations people made was out of the scope of what the engine (based on gamemaker) could really handle. I don't ever recall it crashing/failing to run/spitting out all too many errors with the base game. Sure you could really break things with custom ships, but I put that more on ****ty or overambitious custom shipbuilding than anything else.

Re: Battleships Forever FS2 mod
Just re-downloaded BS4E (link in OP still works).  Works decent on Windows 10, if anyone hasn't tried the base game yet, give it a shot.
