Wow I Thought I was the only person that liked this old game , It was always my favorite. Got it out of a bargain bin comp usa it wasn't supposed to be there late 99 I think. It was supposed to be about 60$. I think I picked up every version before and after. I guess I tried 3 or missionary and looked like RPG format and quit. Do you ever get to fly.
Cool I just downloaded open installer. Im sure I'll need to do some reading up.
Regards Mark

There's a manual for it on the Support board, as well as a stickied thread including most, if not all of the most common issues. But if you go "wtf" at one point or another, don't hesitate to ask for help.

Just a question on your typing, not to be offensive: How old are you?
-
Who says it's a game! Generally games are meant to be fun, and yet I die halfway through it!

Yet somehow (and for some odd reason) you are brought back to life and thrown back in time and/or into an other universe, where you join a space-game-related forum and occasionally declare that that particular game depicts the future of mankind. So, where's the problem?
-
Wolf. . . .you came from the same place as a certain recent transmission. . . Any hints?

Three? Missionary? RPG format?
-
RPG = Role Play Games ,I think me means some space combat game that looks like an RPG game... I dont know of any
-
The problem is that my death is depicted in the "game" as a fiery inferno as my Destroyer is blown to smithereens! Beam Cannons are not nice at all!

Oh, sorry it's Descent 3 or Descent 3 missionary and if I remeber right it you move around in a mini ship or have control of a robot . First mission is in a large space station fighting rouge robots of such. Very much single shooter type game " maybe not RPG" I lost interest first mission.

I'm 42 and can't type for crap. No one seems to make their posts pretty in any forums I navigate ,so I just peck and post away.

Ah! Well, in spite of the branding, Descent Freespace and Freespace 2 aren't actually related to Descent 1/2/3 at all (aside from coming from the same developer.)
-
The name of the Descent 3 expansion you're thinking of is "Mercenary," and I can assure you that the game's mechanics are as far from RPG-like as you can get. :p It's the same fly-in-your-ship-and-shoot-stuff gameplay of the first two Descent titles.
-
There is a cheat in FS2_Open that allows you to fly your ship like in Descent. ~ + O, if I remember correctly. It makes the afterburners completely useless, though, unless if you consider "immediate full stop" a useful function.
-
Doesn't that only work in the original FS1?

Well, I had fun watching it.

Freespace is ETERNAL.

Well. There are worse ways to die, Wolf.

Poor Wolf :P
I thought it was spelled Wolfe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wolfe) initially though :wtf:

That dude might have been but we were talking about the infamous admiral of FS1.
-
Yeah, I just linked to it because that's where I got the spelling idea from :P
-
You'll be linking to AVGN next... :wtf:
-
I wikied it: Who the hell is this guy? :wtf:
-
Which guy?
-
Admiral Wolf; Admiral and Commanding Officer of GTD Orion class destroyer GTD Galatea.
-
Registration number? ;7
Admiral Wolf; Admiral and Commanding Officer of GTD Orion class destroyer GTD Galatea.
Wait a sec, Galactic Terran Destoryer, Orion Class Destroyer Galactic Terran Destoryer Galatea....................I smell a grammar inquisition on it's way :shaking:
-
Admiral Wolf; Admiral and Commanding Officer of GTD Orion class destroyer GTD Galatea.
FAIL!
Your sentence contains 2 instances of "GTD" which stands for Galactic Terran Destroyer! Yet you still have 'destroyer' in your sentence! Much fail!
The correct sentence should be 'Admiral and Commanding Officer of the GTD Galatea'! Report to the detention center for corrective training!
-
Nobody expects the Grammar Inquisition!
-
Twice in one morning, (i think?) i'm on a roll.......
Sorry Admiral, all due respect for rank and that, but I'm army, you're Navy/space force?...we need a little "healthy rivalry"
-
Just don't get too healthy, as Temple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_(novel)) springs to mind...
Anyway, this has gotten off topic. :nod:
-
Now wait a minute Colonal, we know the Galactic Terran Alliance has a sort of Marine Corps, as they were the ones who boarded the ST Azrael in the Cutscene. So there is clearly a Army division within the Alliance.
Feel free to nit pick, my rank allows me certain privilages!
-

No. the correct sentence should be:
"Admiral and Commanding Officer of the Orion class destroyer, GTD Galatea" You can drop the GTD completely, but it's more formal to give a full designation.
-
Please don't make me lock this for such an inane reason. :p
