Taking the notch up.
So, all that I am going to type is the 'what if' style. I do not actually intend for this to happen, I am just throwing it out there. neither can I, personally accomplish this.


So, I have been thinking. It has been  a decade since FS1 came out. And, almost a decade since FS2. Although the games are still brilliant, I was thinking about progress. I mean, new types of beams. Like ones that Form a solid line, with tendrils around it, the a strand of DNA. Or, even add a kind of strategic element, and be able to develop an open-ended galaxy to traverse, skirmish, and even planetary sieges. All been suggested before, but I needed to make some blatant post to slip my way back in to HLP.

This would require artistic, and programming talent beyond me, but I know that there are a choice few of you out there that could group up, and create a player-made sequel/expansion. Hell, I would pay for that.

Re: Taking the notch up.
umm all this has been discussed before. Its not that it cant be done but it would not be FS as we know it if all those things were to happen. Also even asuming all those things you mentioned could some how be made to appear a logical evolution of the game and not ruin the fun it gives players today there is noone here that WILL do it .

Everyone has their own projects . And even some of those are very far behind schedule . The reason?

RL and other meaningless things like that .

Re: Taking the notch up.
Didn't someone convert FS2 to some strategy game? I mean one that you take control of a fleet and build ships and stuff IIRC.

Re: Taking the notch up.
I think you are talking about the Homeworld conversion mod ! Cant remember if it was ever completed. Do a search on the boards or something and see what you can find .

Re: Taking the notch up.
I started a SE4 FS2 mod once and posted screenies?... (abandoned of course)   :lol:

Anyway with careful image creation most of what you mentioned has been and can be done.

(uh ever see those outstanding lightning beams???) Just wish they'd release them already.  :P

Aardwolf did so, but it was never finished, I'm afraid.

I think you're thinking of the Freespace on Homeworld mod.
