Title: What about a Descent Freespace RPG?
Post by: sixlaneve on June 20, 2008, 08:36:43 am: I read this article for an upcoming DS game:

and I'd love to replace their ships with a GTD Orion ;7

Let's keep it that way. randomly flying an orion around would get boring fast

In fact I find you guilty now, and your sentance shall be to build a time machine and transport yourself to Deneb in the year 2335 and find yourself on the GTD Legion*. That should teach you what it's like to fly an Orion!

Regards to the original topic though how noddable is the engine in question? :s

Post by: admiral_wolf on June 20, 2008, 06:51:06 pm: A interesting point Colonal, however my view is that what is more scary, a single new Typhon, or the Lucifer fleet on it's way to Vasuda?

I could have had him go down with the Galatea when we get blown up, but I forget which system I'm in at the time of destruction...if command were able, I'm sure they'd kill me first for that major error...

I'm not adverse to the concept in question though. It reminds me of Nodewars.
