You mean you haven't tried any mods! :eek2:

Read me first (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/index.php/Installing%20Mods%20Under%20FS2_Open)

Then try clicking on peoples Avatars to see what's available.

Inferno (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/) has had a release that is well worth trying :) MG is still in development so you can't try that.

I'd recommend Skippy's campaign list but it was down 5 minutes ago when I tried it.

This does not belong in the SCP forum, FYI.

Off course, you can play LAN. (Well, on most builds, it has issues at times, I have a build that works, farely recent.) Internet multiplayer is not yet/no longer working, since PXO went down for FS2 retail, and Inquisitor hasn't yet setup the SCP server. There are tons of user made campaigns out there, I sugest Derelict (nearly no MODs, great story), Homesick(ditto, though I'm stuck halfway and too busy to continue), DEM (satire, but great fun), and some more. Info can also be found in the wiki.

Homesick and Derelict are the best so far. Inferno's release 1 suffered from instability - at least with me - and sometimes had "bigger = better" attitude problem. I still enjoyed it a lot, though Homesick is much more moody and Derelict's plot is often even better than Main Campaign's. AFAIK Homesick runs without additional MODs, but Derelict must be installed as Kara's link tells you to. Otherwise you will face pretty horrible oddities as you switch back to vanilla campaign.
Sol: A History is also worth a try and thumbs, as soon as you've played and finished Inferno R1. Check out FS Port also, if you haven't had a chance to play the original Great War.

And if you start FREDding, play Deus Ex Machina. Gives you ideas of... well, what NOT to do. :D

I like Pandoras Box and Independence Warriors Campaign.

Unholy Alliance and Warzone are great, too. But UA is incomplete:(

Technological Superiority was the best I played (maybe on the same level as Derelict) but it was never completed (that I know of) :(

Heck, play FreeSpace Port if you have had a chance to play the Great War.  It's still a great game, and it looks better than ever.

Warzone and the Port are indeed good camps as well.

Till you get to rank of Supreme Admiral of The Universe :p


  Actually you MUST try Inferno and Babylon5 they are AWESOME!

  The original RT mod is fun to mess with but you have to Fred everything yourself, it IS an outstanding toolbox though!
