Getting Started / Re: Another Play Order Question/Help
« Last post by santange11 on December 03, 2025, 10:30:37 pm »3 minor suggestions:
1-Derelict and Inferno aren't connected to each other story-wise (as far as I know), but Derelict takes place five years after FS2 whereas Inferno takes place almost two decades later...so I'd switch the play order of Derelict and Inferno on your list.
2-"Warzone" is another fun and simple campaign that takes place shortly after FS2.
3-Herkie423 and I worked on two campaigns that I'd suggest adding to your list: "The Aftermath Reboot" (aka AFR) and "The Aftermath Reboot 2: The Blue Guardian" (aka AFR2: TBG). AFR takes place three years after FS2 and its sequel TBG takes place a few months after that.
Thanks for the suggestions. I moved Derlict around and added the ones you suggested. I can't wait till my knew desk is setup so I can start playing.

Getting Started / Another Play Order Question/Help
« Last post by santange11 on December 03, 2025, 03:49:05 pm »Hey,
This still remains my favorite game of all time and I cannot express my gratitude to the community enough, thank you.
It have been a little while and I am looking to play the main story and mods around in relative order. I understand that not everything is cannon and some things contradict each other , but want to play things within the universe in relative time order. The list below is what I was thinking and wanted to get opinions not only of the order of things, but all suggestions if I am missing something.
Unification Wars
Cardnial Spear
The Sixth Seal
FS1
The Sixth Seal 2
Silent Threat: Reborn
Sol: A History
The Destiny of Peace
Shrouding the Light
Between The Ashes
FS2
Epsilon Pegasi
Into The Depth Of Hell
Inferno
Vassago's Dirge
Sync
Transcend
Derelict
Blue Planet
Blue Planet Chancelier

FreeSpace Discussion / Screencap Contest: December 2025
« Last post by NeonShivan on December 02, 2025, 05:17:28 pm »Alright ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end game. In event of a tie then both will receive the winner of the year awards. But honestly, you're all winners to me. This month's theme is war. Show me a battle, a warzone. Something exciting to get the blood rushing. A bit of an oxymoron for the month of December imo, but the other themes that came to mind feel too boring or hard. Go forth Hard-Light, and provide me with the content that the people deserve.
Rules:
1: No HUD! (Jump nodes are ok though!)
2: Images must be presented as they would be as seen with only the FSO engine rendering the image. Remember that these entries help to show off what the engine can do for new players! So that means no after the fact photoshopping (except for cropping), and no external shader programs (reshade and the like). No lens flares, contrast shifts, colorizers, etc.
3: Max 3 entries per person!
4: Again, these screenshots are a way to promote Freespace and the FSO Engine - let's keep it in good taste.
Winners:
+ Rennie Ash +: 1
shiv: 2
Colt: 1
Goober5000: 1
Good luck!

I would like to announce that Goober is the winner of this month's contest for most creative. If you understand the reference behind the photo, you'll know why I had to choose him as the winner. That said, everyone's submissions were of the absolute highest quality and all deserve awards.
