[Siigari]

Long time player, first time SCP'er :3

I'm Siigari (formerly known as Dirp back in the day of Descent gaming) and I've found my old FS2 CD booklet and manual and after some random googling and finding out Interplay is back and Descent 4 is on the way, I am treating myself to a walk down memory lane.

Descent games have always had a special place in my heart.  They are truly some of the most creative and original forms of gaming artwork I have ever seen.  With Descent's 6DOF and Freespace's amazing visuals and great gameplay, they are a homage to space games for all time.

In Freespace, my favorite ship of choice would have to be the Seth ;3  That ship is probably hands-down my favorite dogfighter.  Going what I would consider a standard loadout of Banshee/Prometheus and wielding twin Phoenix Vs, a head-on assault from this ship with shields to full at the front is probably my favored tactic   Hard as a rock.

I am happy and excited to bring my copy of Freespace to come play and download new updates, game mods and more.  Thanks for having me here!

And, just to say one thing: this forum is INCREDIBLY BUSY visually.  Is there any way to tone it down a bit?

Thanks again

Am I senior enough to do this? Meh.

If you have any problems (hopefully you won't ), or just have any general queries, we'll be only too glad to help.

Hello, and welcome.

If you have any problems setting up things with FreeSpace 2 Open and it's various improvements, give us a shout and someone will likely be there to offer help within ten minutes.

Hmm, strange... I haven't noticed anything of the sort. In fact I find HLP to be quite stoic as far as the forum theme is considered.

I guess you could disable signatures. Or add "/wap2.html" to the end of forum links. It will make the forum... much more simple. Although more difficult to use.

As in,

Now you have to go and play JAD series of campaigns and come back dizzy 

[General Battuta]

Hey Siigari.

Have you had a chance to play Freespace 2?

[Siigari]

Hey Siigari.

Have you had a chance to play Freespace 2?

Yeah I played the tutorial again and got my wings, but I'm being sort of casual about it right now.

I'm going to go back through the FS1 campaign and enjoy that, then play FS2.

To be honest, I didn't like some of the system-wide nerfs that were brought on in FS2.  My Vasudan ships got beaten over the head with weapon nerfs and I was sad in dogfights.  But the campaign was indeed awesome.

I'll get to it eventually   And then Silent Threat as well.  (I still remember getting the lolertastic 8-Bit DND short with the Summoner Geek characters on the ST CD. lol).

[General Battuta]

Never mind Silent Threat. Play Silent Threat: Reborn. (Then Derelict, Transcend, Blue Planet.)

speaking of JAD, where could one obtain those? They are greyed out in the turney installer for some reason.

Descent 4

O.O

Linky?

and :welcome:  ! 

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Welcome, Siigari. Descent 4 is not on the way; it's just an idea that Interplay might work on if they have enough money.

If you want to be in close touch with what's happening on HLP, try lurking about on the IRC channel, because lots of stuff go around first-hand and uncensored over there.

Turey.

I like Turney better 

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Or Turkey.

[Spoon]

Mmmmmm Turkey

Also, played the first of JAD... wow... just wow. How I laughed 

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Don't you just love the way the first, second and sixth missions begin...

Spoiler:

...with the sun in your face?

[Rodo]

I just love the way they blockade a node 

[Androgeos Exeunt]

That was...

Spoiler:

...the NTC Lol ramming into the GTCv Pork, wasn't it?

Oh, and I love this next line:
