And now, thanks to Angelus, we have a name. Hope you like it (but since I do, you're outvoted if you don't )

Yay!

I agree it's a good name for an awesome mod!

[swashmebuckle]

I am the author. You are the audience. I outrank you!

Sounds good, though it'll need a cool logo to distinguish it from all the other projects with FS for initials...Maybe just a little snapshot of the Hindenburg or something?

Been working on FotG of late; I'll try to finish up this backstory draft over Thanksgiving break.

A bit lame, but it's the best I could come up with for now

Hmm, wouldn't that be a bit contradictory to the game? To me it implies Freedom in the skies Which there is non. Just mad death and destruction and awesome fun. But, that's just what I got from playing the game. I'm no philosopher so it could mean anything to anyone.

[swashmebuckle]

That stencil font has the WWII vibe down, but it's not very swashbuckling.  I'm curious as to what sort of mood you'll be going for--I'm hoping for Captain Blood with more explosions

[Angelus]

opinions?

[Rodo]

I think the one by The E looks better, but I would change the size and color of the letters.

It's supposed to be a free sky!, make it seem like the letters are faded or really small so that the sky is actually free.

[Angelus]

free? what do you mean with "free"?


Update:

[Rodo]

free as in freedom, that's what the title says to me.

[Mobius]

The name's an awesome tribute to FreeSpace. I like it.

[JGZinv]

shrink Angelus's image to 25x25 without text (return it to color too) and you have a
mod badge...

[Angelus]

Badge candidate and new version


  <--- and yeah, that one sucks

no, it's free as in FreeSpace, mods from games do this incorporate the game's name in our mod-name **** all the time.

I got poked on irc and had a chat with Angelus and The_E.  I'd be willing to contribute some stuff to this.  The capitalship designs I've shown here and on SFM, such as the Undine and Zitadelle, are for their own verse/project that I'm loathe to give up.  That said I'm willing to pitch in some equipment, espeicilally psuedo WW2 Fighters since my verse uses countergrav biplanes and I'd be stoked to design some prop birds.  Capital ships will be a bit harder but I think since I mainly focused on WW1/interwar Royal Navy, High Seas Fleet, and Czarist Russia for my own stuff, I can probably throw together some cool new stuff based on WW2 faction design and more exotic hull setups that will be unique to what I did before.

So first off you can have my Tractor/Pusher V-12 fighter right off the bat.  If I get time I'll throw together some other stuff for Monday.

Hmm, engine/forward fuselage looks like a merge between an Fw-190Ta-152 and a P-51. Wings definitely look like they're from a Corsair.

Translation: That looks really good.

Oh yeah, I didn't realize that =D

[Droid803]

Shouldn't it be FreeSkies (or FreeSky) then, without the space?

[The E]

No.

This craft looks more like a Me 284/Me 285 prototype faster than a Me 262 turbojet.
