Exile is easily one of the best FS campaigns ever made; even though it's not 100% perfect (but what actually is?) it certainly deserves a lot more attention. The sheer scope of the project is amazing, and it's the kind of campaign that you could push as standalone game if one bothered to set it up.

I think the issues are mainly polish related, overall I for one think its really cool and I was definitely feeling it at various points.

Besides that, I think Exile deserves professional voice acting, too.

I second this, though it's pretty unlikely. :(

I'd be willing to throw a few hundred bucks onto the pile to help fund that, though I myself have no ability to properly organize such a thing.

Orestes was one of my favorite voices, very distinctive. Didn't know you were the one who voiced it, Dekker.

I read the sig, I just... somehow never made the connection that it was actually you.  :P Forgive my slowness.

I myself would volunteer for voicing but my only functional mic has the quality of a trash can.

No forgiveness needed.
My mic, is a 3 quid one from play.com circa 2002.

You can work wonders with basic stuff when you put your mind to it 👍

The last time I used my mic a few years ago was during my last raid with my World of Warcraft guild. They said the only noise they heard whenever I spoke was loud static.

(Needless to say, that was my last WoW raid. I quit Wow soon after because my internet conn was just too crappy and maintaining 8 different toons was just way too much of a time sink.)

Wiki lurkers already know this but I'd really like to announce it on this board: the core Intelligence entries of Exile are now featured on the FreeSpace Wiki, as well as a dedicated (and WIP) page on the mod itself. TopAce kindly contributed to the overall formatting. Key information on the Exile continuity is now conveniently available at all times for those who want to venture deeper into this project's vast lore.  :)
