Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
I found SW3 very good. It connected ep 1+2 with 4+5+6 really well. Anyway, the first part was the best, together with the battles Yoda vs Palpatine and Anakin vs Obi.

Really, the only good thing about the prequel trilogy were the lightsaber duels. Though I will say that Ep. 3 is better than Return of the Muppets, oh I mean Jedi.
<On "Their Finest Hour">
The GTVA sure knows how to launch feint attacks. You have the Colossus with her engines shut off, her battle group (all three ships) who apparently had problems with their weapon reactors, and a motley crew of fighters. No wonder the Bastion's escorts got decimated.

Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
I fell in love with Star Wars when i was little only because of space fights,until it I loved only airplanes.

Of cours ewhen I grew up I have learned to appreciate the storyline,ecc.

Ha hem,time ago here in Italy I found a collection of Star Wars magazine which talk about the post Return of the Jedi era.
The only things I remember are Luke's son called Ben and a new civilization which was going to defeat the resurrected Empire. Also related were the death of Chewbecca and Solo in battles against this species.

Anyone knows it? Where I can re-find those infos?

[starwarsnerd] sounds like you're talking about the "Extended Universe" in general, and the "New Jedi Order" in specific. information on the EU can be found here, as can most everything star wars. Be warned that if you decide to purchase the novels, I spent at least US$400 on the lot, and that didn't include the comics or the books aimed at younger kids.

By the way, some of the novels are written by very famous authors. For instance, Splinter of the Mind's Eye was written by Alan Dean Foster. [/starwarsnerd]




(EDITed because I put in the wrong Science Fiction author.)

Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
also, the New Jedi Order: Vector Prime was written by R. A. Salvatore...

Well...ummm...this goes right in hand with my theory on the shivans.

We have hairy pink thong wearing lady shaver using shivans.

And now we have this shivan dildo.
Good thing labcoatguy found it before his gf killed herself with it.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

Hmm... That could be the Yuuzhan Vong (Chewbacca dies on one of the moons being 'Vongformed' by the Yuuzhan Vong), but I'm probably wrong.

I...can´t...stop...playing...

If Styxx sees this, he's gunna kill me, but I keep playing MT instead of actually doing anything with it... :shaking:

Well, I did attempt to get rid of the AAAArrrr's in mission x.

Spoiler:
yea, Chewie dies saving Anakin Solo. For a long while in that book (Vector Prime, R.A. Salvatore), Han blames Anakin for not turning around. However, he finally realizes that if Anakin waited another few seconds to save Chewie, the whole mess of refugees aboard the Falcon would've died. This all took place because the Yuuzhan Vong placed a dovin basal that pulled the moon of Sernpidal into Sernpidal....

Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
Worse yet, you laugh out loud during the "deus Ex Machina" user-campiagn.

worse still, the part with the two commands talking to each other.

I'm stuck on plotting the jump point, however.

Re: You know you've played too much Freespace when...
when you create a campaign to fill in the plot-holes (sorry Woo, but you aren't perfect) of a campaign that's an extension of another campaign. The worst part being they all fit like a worn-out boot. Also, when you create a campaign that's branching, but somehow manages to have the same ending... \shhh
