A late reply to this thread, but just my 2 sense
I would be sooo opposed to Totally Games doing Freespace, or even another XWing game for that matter.
Yeah the single player games they make usually rock, and that's what drives us to play Freespace still, but their multiplayer coding skills are just about the industry's worst. Freespace 1/2's lag is nothing compared to the lagfests of XvT, XWA and Bridge Commander. And that's just on a good LAN, never mind online.
Now I know Freespace is built on its single player aspects mostly, but I would love to see a roboast multiplayer game included with it. Now I don't know what Derek Smart's multiplayer part of his games are like, but I bet you all its a whole heck of a lot better.
I know this reply was not really relevant to the topic per say, but I just felt compelled to say that TG would be bad for FS. (unless they've hired better network coders recently)
