I too wanted to express this exact same thought. I only just got into Freespace a few months ago though it had been on my list for quite a long time. I loved FS1, ST:R, FS2, but BP really brings it to another level. I finished WiH Part II last night, and what a masterpiece this truly was. It's truly remarkable that a fan-made mod, for which these talented people have given generously of their time to release something for free, is head and shoulders with any space game released at least since Freespace and possibly ever. Graphically incredible for 2017, a story on par with some of the most thought-provoking science fiction out there (it really made me think of Babylon 5 more than once), innovative and excellent gameplay, an incredible soundtrack- BP may just be the best and most complete space game package I've ever experienced. I cannot praise it enough or offer enough thanks to the developers for giving so much of their time to this. I will happily wait as long as I need to for future releases of BP in the coming years. Keep up the incredible work!
I was especially impressed by
The "insanity" effects in the final mission- this was the most innovative use of this sort of mechanic that I've seen since Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem a million years ago on the GameCube. I especially loved the touch of kicking me out to the launcher with messages in the dump log as if I was trapped inside the computer and couldn't get out!
I also was really impressed at the Admiral Bosch voiceover in that mission- it was really hard for me to tell it wasn't Ronny Cox (unless it was something reused from FS2 but it didn't sound like familiar dialogue
