1:
I have uploaded my own homepage, where you can find my home-made maps/missions/levels for the following games:
- Jedi Knight 2
Two map packs which contain two deathmatch maps and a couple of duel ones.
- FreeSpace 2(Of course :))
Demo for Renegade Ressurgence
The SSG Doomsday(Thread about it about a year before)
GVF Horus and the GTF Perseus cheater edition
Allied Squadron logo from Red Alert 2(Thread about it can also be found if you are a good searcher.
- Starcraft&Brood war
26 Skirmish maps
Several missions, some of them have different variants with different difficulty settings.
More detailed information about these can also be found in the 'Information' section.
Since it is my first homepage, it is still a bit empty, but continous refreshings are to be expected.

2: I would like to ask some help with my activities at the Wiki: I would like to write the walkthrought for both FreeSpace games, but I need somebody who can correct me about the appearance of new weapons. For example I am not sure which weapon do you encounter in which mission. This is only needed for FreeSpace 2, I think I could handle FreeSpace 1 on my own.
Thanks for the help in advance.

I already have a guide for when the weapons turn up in FS2. Check the FAQ.

so you play SC, eh?
We should "hit up" a game sometime

I suppose you mean Starcraft.
The answer is: Yes
As to the game: No, I am absolutely not good at it. I wouldn't enjoy being bet by a professional. :)

How to beat a pro at SC when you're a complete n00b ( worked for me, the onlly time I played SC on battle.net ):
Make lots of hydralisks and even more zerglings.
Upgrade them to max, bury them where the enemy is supposed to pass.
Resist the urge to unburry when a few troops attack your base, let your defenses deal with it.
Lay hydralisks on the map, from places to places, to keep the scouts at bay ( the ones that can see burried stuff, I was against protoss iirc ).
Simulate an attack ( big enough to be convincing, but not big enough to stop a counter attack ).
Unburry everything when the enemy is right into your zergling field ;7
Destroy what's left :D
Has been so efficient I couldn't believe it :p

I have my own tactics. Those include the one you mentioned. But I prefer Protoss, Reavers with Scouts or Corsairs. Or simple a Zealot/Dragoon mixture army.

That would work except for the fact that an actual pro would rush you and kill you before you could even build hydralisks.

Not that makes somebody professional how quickly he/she can rush his/her enemies down. If you can win from an apparently desperate position, then you can be a professional.
But indeed, rushdown tactics is the strategy everybody wants to learn.

all i can say is AAAH! my eyes :shaking:
might as well pimp my webbie :p look in signature ;)

Neither yours look better :p

How could he, when I had something like 80 zerglings after 10 minutes of game? Or something? :p
Anyway, I won, so it worked perfectly, and it was fun at the same time, so there :p

Of course even if he has time to build that many units and survive, most oponents (at least in BW) are smart enough to bring a detector along... and then... ups... not more zerglings...
Try to keep your oponent on his toes always suspecting of an attack, always afraid, etc... then try to outdo him in every way...
out produce, out upgrade, etc...
Of course "starving" your oponent is also cool... although not always a successful tactic :D
*hint*
marines + medics + siege tanks = dead oponent!!

That's why there's that small part about "place hydralisks to hunt down those detectors" :p

So could somebody help me in the Singleplayer Walkthrought?
[EDIT]
Please see if you can see updates in the News page. I added two screenshots. I am curious if you can see those. If you can see merely one screenshot, please erase the News.html from your Temporal Internet files and look at it again. I can only see the updates if I erase my Temp. Internet file.

That's nothing to the 30-40 Zealots you could have in 10 minutes..
