Descent: FreeSpace — The Great War, also by Volition, shared the Descent name, but otherwise had no connection to the series; it was given the "Descent" prefix to avoid trademark issues (in Europe, it was released as Conflict: FreeSpace — The Great War). FreeSpace was a space simulator, and while it was still technically a 3D shooter, it for the most part did not retain Descent's trademark six degrees of freedom.  Some early drafts of the FreeSpace story had the pilot searching for Descent's "Material Defender", but the story of the finished game was unrelated.

I always like to know what the really old FreeSpace 1 concepts were. Personally I think the Vasudans looked real evil in some of the concept arts.

Maybe you should high-light that line in your first post, or just quote that line. That way people will notice it straight away.

Snail, where'd you see the concept art of FS1 ?

I can't find them on the :v: website...

But I'm scoping thru their official website atm, looking at their new offices. I noticed FS2 occupies a very special position.
