Imagine a seamless binding of Iwar2 and X-beyond the frontier into to the FreeSpace Universe. Trading, Building, manufacturing a fleet and private empire large enough to help turn the tide in any would be Shivan invasion.
Mine ore from asteroids, buy shipyards and build your own wings and Capital ships. Fight off pirates etc.
Sadly its probably an impossible dream. A TC of this magnitude would take an army of developers and Millions of $. Still the FS Universe is a good one, with lots of scope. Maybe a developer will finaly find they have the rights to it and build an off-shoot game from it. But if it LOOKS like FreeSpace and FEELS like FreeSpace, who's complaining?
If I cant have FS3 Then any game based around the FS universe is the next best thing!
Ultima Freespace!
Adventure Game FreeSpace!
3D Shooter Freespace (This ones being done)
Etc
I know were all Space Sim fans, but, if its even loosely based on the FS Uni then isnt it worth doing???
Im thinking....
There are plenty of 2d Adventure game engines out there. There about as user friendly as GUI interfaces can get, and they are FREE. Thesestudios could be used to diversify and expand the FS universe, as well as be combined with campaigns to build atmosphere and depth!
If your still here your obviosly commited to Freespace, and how many campaigns can you make before you get bored, and there is nothing more exiting, more MODED or more compicated to do? If we diversify, just a little, as a community we could add a huge amount of interest to FS in the years to come.
Your opinions Please

Erm, FS in 2D?
That would be like making you blow up fuzzy bunnies in a Return to Castle Wolfenstein :D;)

The original Freespace is the Freespace. But still, a game based on FS universe would be good, maybe. :nod:
