That advertising inside Star Citizen's forums is quite the Trojan horse for FSO, Matth. Great catch! :yes:

Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
Considering that they put pay to play and non-indie games up there I'm pretty pleased :)

Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
Pity they didn't include TBP though. Diaspora and WCS made a lot of noise recently but TBP is the granddaddy when it comes to FS2_Open TCs.

Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
First my post is to answer topic:

With first try sometime ago this year when I've tried to search for BSG PC game, i found mentioning Diaspora but made me believe that project is abandoned or still in development...

But days ago one buddy in BSG Online chat while playing gave me Youtube link with gameplay and game download links... Cant wait to come back from work when download will finish and try it out  :nervous:

 
Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
Coming from Star Citizen forums, too. It is mentioned at many places there. I especially like the implementation of the glide controls. Additionally everything else is very perfect, the Battlestar model, the sound/music, the mission design, that you included a cockpit. Thank you for this gem!

Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
Sure enough, Diaspora is listed #25 in "The Top 50 Free PC Games" in PC Gamer's October 2013 issue. Unfortunately they got the URL wrong (http://www.diaspora.hard-light.net/ :banghead:) but people can Google to find it, unless there's a way to redirect that URL to the right one.

Here's a nice quote:

The presentation is fantastic, and the voice acting solid, but it's the scale of battles that sells the experience. Your first encounter with a Cylon Baseship feels as overwhelming and dangerous as the show suggests it should.

Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
I saw in a german TV show about Computer culture, Nerd ethics and Computer Games. The show was called "Pixelmacher" (means Pixel creators). And the topic was "Modders are the best". They showed a little footage of Diaspora in the first scene and mentioned "Many games by modders resulted in outstanding projects".
And I hope u like jammin', too

 
Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
I accidently found this while looking for a controller setup for bsg online and the search engine pointed me here :P.

Boy am i glad it did spent two days getting my bsg online account to work, and since i did i pretty much been playing this since i found it.

Bravo to the team though guys, amazing job, the voice acting, the graphics, the missions, the physics, all brilliant.

Not had my heart pump this hard playing a game in a long long long time.

That ign review is junk tho, really ign a free game with this level of production values and you only give it that score? Hell at this point this since i found it in 2013 is in the lead for my 2013 games of the year :P.

Really looking forward to future campaigns from the team, your ideas on stealth also look great, thank you all so much for this.

Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
The X3 BSG mod released a couple of weeks ago. Since they're using the Theseus (with permission) and crediting us for it, I suppose that counts as a mention. :)

Hopefully we'll get a proper thread on it from people who have X3 and have played it.

That will teach me to scan the page rather than reading carefully. :)

Have you got any nice screenshots for us to look at?

Re: Where Have You Seen Diaspora Mentioned?
At one point the ModDB removed every single Battlestar Galactica mod after something happened with the Nexus mod.

Scott Manley (of Kerbal Space Program fame) posted him playing and talking through the first mission (as he does) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ueG3SZrTaI

He has some grips, but I don't think they are anything we don't already know about our beloved FSO :)
