In December of this year we'll be at roughly 10 years since the first tidbits of information were made available about the all new Descent sequel which was supposed to open things right up, take away the walls, and throw us in to space. Descent: FreeSpace and FreeSpace 2 is why were here and nearly ten years later, despite the industry moving along in a different direction, we're still here adding and making modifications to the game series. Thats pretty impressive.
How many of you have realized how longs its been? Is there any hope for space combat simulations in the same FreeSpace/TIE Fighter/Wing Commander vein? What do you think the community should do to celebrate 10 years?

I have the feeling that no matter what we do, there will be some kind of mass multiplayer event going on.
I suggest we organize chat room(s), prepare mod downloads, and spam as many news sites as possible for a 24-hour Freespace fest over the holidays. :D
-
I suggest we aim our fireworks toward Derek Smart's house. :nervous:
-
Wow. It's been awhile. Glad to still be here with everyone. :)
My internet "family", as it were.

Ssshhh :drevil:
good idea though. How about a pirate day style forum prank where random freespacey words overpower normal text.
Ummm actually how will we tell compared to normal everyday HLP. ;)

I'd suggest that we don't only concentrate on FS but have a day for each of the major multiplayer mods. If we have a special day for it I suspect we could get large crowds even for mods like FS1Port, TBP or Inferno which don't have a big MP following.
-
Don't worry, we have loads of time to prepare for that day (2 years :ick:)
-
And let's not forget a :headz:-based dinner ;7
-
World Freespace week. Everyone has to play FS1, then ST, then FS2, and then all the user made mods they can fit into a week.
-
10 years already eh? and 10 more to it.
-
I say we declare 10 days for 10 years of Freespace. Let's get everything churning again and see how far we can get everything... we have about 6 months until this starts, so my own campaign should be at the point of at least a larger demo.
-
hi,
wow 10 years, that i doesnt realize.

how to celebrate?
i think a great thread with say thanks to volotion to give us this games and a great thanks to all people in the SCP and the modder they hold it alive and give us so many ours of fun.

Would you like some massed artillery fire toward there, sir?
-
Why order in separate artillery? That's what the Orion above him is for!
-

Oh yea, our old friend. Lol that reminds me of JAD2: Eltrical Boongaloo one of the last few missions. Lol, that was the best Axem. Woo!
-
I came.
-
Oh crap... its the snail! Open fire! *BFGreens fire* Colossus: Useless heatsinks wernt made for this kind of abuse you noobs!
:p

Name the exact DATE of when this 'great multiplayer event' will come, and I shall emerge from my slumber to lead my squadrons to victory against the shivans ! I suggest someone make a massive multiplayer battle where heaps of us can just fight wave after wave of shivan fighters, bombers, cruisers, corvettes and destroyers with just the lot of us, and a small fleet assisting us (1 leviathan, 1 aeolus, a sobek and a hecate)

Show me who has the internets to handle this massive bandwidth whore.

Me ! RAWR ! I'll host !
-
t415 is 901n9 t0 b3 5o muc4 fun !
-
If I wasn't behind a such a harsh firewall, I'd host it. We got lots of bandwidth--nearly 2mb/s download and 900kb/s upload--more then a lot of people who are limited to 256kb/s upload. Still, I'd try to get on! I'd love to get some media coverage on this event... maybe rent out the Playboy Mansion :lol: (like the professional gaming league did).
-
Usually, I'd host... But my internet went and ****ed itself up... -_-;
-
I like the sound of that...
A ELITE squadron where all memebrs finalyl act like they have some brainz... against a horde of dumb shivanz
-
If we all could demonstrate our skills, I highly doubt anything could beat us. Other then being outnumbered at least 8:1, we'd basically own everything.
-
QUICK! lets re-make squadrons and have a HUGE squadwar tournament!
-
10 years... ridiculous.
But Total Annihilation is still around. It's been a decade. That's when you know a game is irreplaceable.
-
and Freespace ISN'T replaceable? hmm?
-
A storm is coming... maybe a frenzy of a storm?
