Yeah, I have been replaying the entire Freespace saga through again, even ST. And I was thinking 'What other genres would the FS universe translate over too?'.

Personally, I think that FS could fit an MMO game, especially if it were set during FS2. You got the NTF, GTVA, Shivans, and the renegade Vasudans. And there are dozens of systems to play in and hold and conquer and what have you. Only problem I could see is that it would be mainly a PvP game, with very little PvE. Maybe you could have pirates or something. Or have the Shivans be NPC's.... I also think that FS would translate over to a RTS game very well. Especially if it were done like Homeworld of ST: Armada.

So, what do you all think?

[neo_hermes]

you know i think FS could be done in RTS = From the pov of an Admiral or something... and an online MMO is what Goober is planning i think...can't be sure about that though.

goober is very unpredictable. you don't know when he'll have a severe mood swing (kiddin' ).

[WMCoolmon]

It would be very nice but probably require a complete redoing of the FS2 network infrastructure, and probably a lot of the server code.

[Falcon]

Ferrium perhaps?

[Hippo]

FS:CZ perhaps?

If only the tester's actually did anything...

FS makes the transition to RTS okay.  Look at the Homeworld and Cataclysm conversions(okay, not so much Cata...)

Yeah, anyone else get *extremly* annoying rainbows all over their Vasudan ships?

[Kie99]

Was that a joke?  Why is it in this topic BTW?

LOL...  Before I clicked the link, I thought it would be "Freespace: Condition Zero"

Er, that's a strange thing to bring up in a thread like this.

But the answer is simple.  The shinemap packs aren't completely done, and some of them don't have alpha channels yet.  If you play using environment mapping and have use alpha for env mapping checked, anything that doesn't have a shine map with alpha channel gets full environment mapping everywhere, which is what you're seeing.

He means something like this...

Looks allmost like a surface shield!

I was talking about the Vasudan ships in the Homeworld Cataclysm mod.  Sorry for any confusion.  And yes, sorry, random and odd thing to bring up without clarification.

[Liberator]

Turn off the Vertex Lighting.  It has something to do with the way the ships are imported, Cata default ships are just about the only ones that don't get rainbows, however check the HW forums and ask around, they may have found a way around that.

[Jal-18]

Hah, I never even thought to ask at the forums.  To be honest, it wasn't that big a problem for me, just an annoyance.

(To those who don't know what I'm babbling on about: rainbow Hatshepsuts )

Thanks Liberator!

Edit: Much better
