Hey guys its me. Yay!
Summary: I am taking a HTML web design class. The final project is to create a 8 page website. I would like to do it about Freespace (2).
----
So I would like to ask you guys for links to some good topics to use as content. I will link and cite each topic\quotes in the website.
Can anone link me to some good main... topics about freespace, such as, a good summary or General plot, its many mentions and awards won and Why, shivan theories, SCP, polished user created campaigns, etc
Different subject matter in a progress tho ill figure out order.
My teacher might be the only one reading the paper but might as well impress him.
Also if you can link me to some GTVA logos and HOL logos and Freespace logos and pics etc.
If I do good enough It might be used as an example for future classes... that is If I put in the time lol.
So can you guys help me out?

I'm waiting to read the kindergarten reasons as to why fs2 got so many awards.
Free Space two has so many awards because the game is really fun to play and is a "top pick". (imagine a 5 year old reading that sentence)
I imagine that this is an easy assignment. The only thing hard for you is gathering all of this fs2 information. If you want to see what got me an A in transitional xhtml web design, go here (http://www.winterpro.110mb.com). I can't believe i was given two weeks to do basically the same thing you were asked too. Mostly it consisted of a big list of requirements my page had to fulfill, the assignment said the site needed a purpose. But i treated that as moot since the assignment is nothing more than you demonstrating how to put images on the site, links, blablabla. I stayed up one night drinking shots while i was doing the page. I did indeed put it off until the last second, i really didn't want to do it very badly. If you go through my site, you're bound to find burried not too deeply my pessimism. It's also old, and the facts aren't straight, but it's a great page layout with awesome background color, font size, font color, and navigation (i did a great job at this). The rest of it is random bull**** that was just to show i could do something like an email link (reason why some stuff on the site seems random). The only fun i had that drunken night was this (http://www.winterpro.110mb.com/acid.html).
You're bound to have fun with your assignment. It's only html, you can do it drunk and get an awesome grade :p
EDIT: Sorry i don't have anything to contribute but encouragement.

Those two should be good enough for you. If clicking on the one made by Aardwolf is still not enough, you're out of luck. :p

F2S has a collection of images that's little-known: http://sectorgame.com/f2s/gallery.php
My personal favourite is the crashed Valkyrie (which, for some obscure reason, is called "Abandoned Pegasus").
-
The only thing i can recommend is an easy to use page layout with easy to read font. Feel free to harvest my html if you really like it for a layout.

Those old renders used to be on every fan-made site, then when they started going down they got harder to find...

Can someone find out what specific color (codes) FS and FS2 uses? Like the hexidecimal numbering system...or helix, one of the two. Like #FAA47D
FS2 has a lot of black and some green in the text. FS1 has some dark blue?
Whats the font FS2 uses and the colors?
-
FS2, just like FS1, uses a special, proprietary font format (look for .vf files in the vps).
-
It's called "Bank Gothic Md" and it's free for download from about every major font site.
-
I dont have the VP viewer stuff nor the game installed anymore so I cant find the color codes myself.
EDIT: I have begun work on my project. Getting the CSS and colors figured out as best I can.

Fixed. :p
