So to show you all just how (in)sane I am, I had a really out-there FS dream last night. I started playing the game, and instead of the usual main hall->start mission setup, I found myself in this crazy interactive fully-3D ship setting, taking on the role of a new pilot. The strange thing was, it was apparently a Vasudan destroyer, though myself and all of the other recruits were Terran, and most of the internal architecture (flight deck aside) was fairly sane. (Apparently you use some sort of Halo-esque jump pads to move around that flight deck, if anyone was wondering.) I'm kind of fuzzy on most of what went on, though I know there was a commander leading us around to different stations for various tests and exercises and such, most of which seemed more like random mini-games than anything that would be useful for piloting. I do remember one cool hallway with interactive descriptions of all of the FS ships hanging on the walls. There was definitely some Star Wars crossover going on too, as we all had lightsabers for some reason. (I think my brain kind of recognized this, since there was a conversation that went something like: "Why laser swords?" "Why
not laser swords?" Can't argue with that.) The fun thing was, even though I was in-character during the actual experience, I also recognized it as a game, and I was marveling at the quality of the modeling and voiceacting. I think I remember talking to Flipside and maybe Battuta, who were also there, about who could have contributed something that awesome.
Okay, SCP and FSU guys. You heard me. Now make it happen.
(Also, overeating and passing out from a food coma apparently makes you brain do really weird stuff.)
