I guess the problem with the space shooter genre is the requirement of a joystick. Many people don't have a joystick and it's not really fun to play a real space shooter with mouse and keyboard.

Try playing FreeSpace with just a keyboard. That's the way I've been playing for 8 years now.

*nods emphatically* Same here, although i played original I-War too with just a KB, Its the way to go.

[DaBrain]

I did try it too! But...

Well... try to beat me on FS2Dnet. And 'no', I'm not that much of a good player.

MMO (mostly MMORPGs) own gaming right now

Whick unfortunately ends up as prolonged dungeon hack most of the time.

EVE on the other hand....hmm strange it's a space game....and it has real roleplaying and not mere posing either....

For those of you with a copy of Homeworld2 lying around, here's a heads up for a rather good-looking WC4 mod in the works that started up about a month or so ago. As you can see from this gameplay video and a few screenies below, there's been quite a bit of progress, but it would seem that only Confed forces are to be in a beta. Still, if you've got HW2, or want to piss away an hour or two of your time downloading an ISO, this should be quite a treat.

You sir, are a gentleman. *shakes hand*
I thought the WC HW2 mod died a dogs death. My faith is rekindled at seeing the confed HQ and Lexington in HW2 shinyness.

Much obliged.

I believe this a seperate project. From what I've heard, the original WC mod died years ago.

[Mefustae]

Indeed, this mod only began about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and most certainly began long after the issues regarding our WCS team and the WC HW2 mod took place.

Wait, there was actually issues between Saga and another mod? I thought that was all fabricated by Loaf.

[Mefustae]

I've not idea, to be honest, just going by the internet buzz.

don't propagate a myth

[Colonol Dekker]

I need to add, I am very happy with the footage and i am tearful with absolute joy at the fact........>dramaticpauseaha!<.......The Black Lance are a race in their own right :D:D:D


*Does yet another happy jig jig dance*

I will try to summarize the development of Wing Commander mods for HW1/2

-There was a HW1 project, called Fleet Action. From what I recall it was to be transfered to HW2, but died in an attempt to do so.
- The original Wing Commander Saga project was founded as Conquest: FW mod. The development switched to HW2 before the project was abandoned. It had virtually nothing to do with the FS2 branch of the Saga mod.
- Finally, there is WC4 mod for HW2, which is an eye candy
