No non-Diaspora FreeSpace mod will win. Of the non-Diaspora FreeSpace mods on ModDB, Diaspora, Blue Planet and Inferno have the biggest presences. Only one of those is released.

Well then you forgot something on the list I'm just joking of course.

[Xelion]

Ummmm. BtRL won a few years back you know.

If I'm not mistaken, in 2007 under indie games - http://www.moddb.com/events/2007-mod-of-the-year-awards/top100

I'm probably gonna get a lot of flak for this but looking at all the mods that have been in all the categories for previous ModDB MOTYs and the quality of those mods... has been to a pretty high standard and that many Freespace2 mods just don't have that level of quality . Having said that, what I can say is that certain aspects of all those Freespace2 mods I've seen and played do have some qualities that are at the top of their game . I'd just love to see a mod that pools those great qualities together that could one day crap on 1st person shooter mods ....no seriously

[General Battuta]

I would back Vassago's Dirge or, heck, War in Heaven against any of those mods, though. I think the recent batch of FreeSpace campaign releases does more, as a single player story experience, than most commercial or mod products these days.

I remember a discussion on ModDB where people claimed they now tend to prefer 100% original mods/indies over those based on popular universes. They may be exceptions, though.

Battuta I'm all for the story, thats why I love Freespace2 so much... and Vassago's Dirge has got me excited I live for storylines

All three of the recent big releases are very story-focused and have a lot of experimental gameplay as well. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

You're very clever, spotting typographical errors. Should read Earth Defense.

[karajorma]

Because the popularity of battlestar galactica is comparable to a 11 year old game that didn't sold well amirite?

You mean Diaspora isn't about Battlestar Galactica?

WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME!

[Spoon]

Euuuh... okay?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Don't forget that other released TC out there:  http://www.moddb.com/games/the-babylon-project

No love for us? 

[General Battuta]

No love for us? 

I've only posted links to released content here. And Diaspora, because it's Diaspora and has such enormous breakout appeal.

[LoneKnight]

You're not limited to one vote per category (mod and indie), just FYI.

Aren't all mods considered indie?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

No mods are mods of games or even Indie games.  Indie games are what we call total conversions around here.

[Mobius]

Depends. All standalone TCs are considered indie games on ModDB, and TCs that require a given game to run are called... mods.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Well looks like not one FS2 mod made it to the top 100.  Still waiting on Indie list.  

Update:  Diaspora made it into the top 50 Indie.   

[Spoon]

So I'm seeing 3 freelancer mods in that top 100
and I dont think they even have a catagory for freespace on that site.

wat.
