What about Homeplanet?  (FS2-styly game, little publicity but looks promising).  It's fully moddable, and may be interesting when released.....

Yes, and not to forget that Babylon 5: I've Found Her (IFH) is based on same engine. First IFH release will be released soon after HomePlanet is available in the shelves.

To answer your question how it is possible for freeware game to use an engine of commercial game?
-Because one or few devs (can't remember how many...) are same for both games. And that is also reason why IFH will never have multiplayer.

*Babylon 5: I've Found Her
*HomePlanet

Some eyecandy from both games:

HomePlanet screenshot

As you can see, same engine but style is completely different.
A fact: HomePlanet will be missing some neat features that will be in IFH and vice versa.

I'd say give it a try, there has already been some other topics about Homeworld, and with HW2 coming out soon(fairly soon...I hope) we could try it out!

Um, thanks. I forgot that other sites besides HLP exist.
 
Looks nice. Very nice, in fact. :yes: As does HW2, too. :nod:
