I know it's many years old (dread to think how many), but that fire effect on the other side of the ship when the beam penetrates it is such a great innovation.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
Guys I've just finished the campaign called The Aftermath: Reboot and I must say it blew my mind. I just want to raise attention to this masterpiece of a campaign, with a wonderful story line and impressive Fred-ing by genius Herkie423. In my opinion this is one of the best campaigns in the entire FreeSpace universe, which has been meticulously planned and executed with the heightest detail covering outcome and gameplay, backgrounds (really F'n impressive), music that goes great with every mission.

It's a must try for everybody and I don't know why id doesn't get the high coverage it deserves.
Special thanks for Herkie423 for devising this, and especially for his selflessness in handing over his project to this community.
His altruist nature and future planning left many continuations open to this campaign, if somebody would like to continue his work.

AGAIN THANK YOU HERKIE423!!!

  
Re: A celebration of Freespace
With the content drought we're facing, it's a little hard to celebrate anything that hasn't already been done so multiple times over.

Well you can try anyway~

Re: A celebration of Freespace
It ended up looking that way actually but yeah the look was intended. Actually there'd be a bit enviroment lighting, but certainly not much.

Not FSO, but still freespace.

Got back into Inferno: Nostos, and it inspired me to revisit the Hecate-class I'd rendered out of Lego a while back. Did up a modded/symmetrical Orion as inspiration, and then to further that, tossed together a quick render of a Hecate pulling a fast one on an Orion. Enjoy!

A Brick FreeSpace TC should be possible then.

Finally FreeSpace is able to get a USK 0 instead of the USK 12 rating of the original or even the USK 16 rating from the "Dimension Pack Collector's Edition"  :D

Is one of my releases broken or not working? Please send a PM here, on Discord at @novachen or on Twitter @NovachenFS2, a public tweet or write a reply in my own release threads here on HLP, because these are the only threads i am still participating in.

 
Re: A celebration of Freespace
Thanks guys!

For fun, I did up some pretty renders of the ships I HAVE managed to recreate with lego. So far, I have a Hecate, a a GTD Sirona, and... one that started as a GTD Boreas/Preliator. But while I like the look and feel of the Boreas, I've never liked the engine block. By the same token, I DO like the engine block on the Hecate, streamlined and cut down a bit, so I put the two together.

I'd try my hand at some Vasudan or Shivan ships, but the hard angles and points are very difficult to recreate. Still, never say never...





I can make the plans available for anyone who is interested in trying to build them.

Moar pitchers!

Nothing too stellar, but I fixed up a bunch of borked normal maps on the Kvasir and Rhea's Earth Defense textures as well as the Stheno, and made some quick shiny -reflect maps as well. (Still tweaking them)





pew pew pew :)
