I don't know where else to put this....
...So I'm making my "Hello I'm new here" kind of post here in the general section. I've actually known about FreeSpace since I was like 9 years old, but only recently have I really gotten into it. I do not own the full versions of any FreeSpace game; however, I do own an OEM version of the first FreeSpace, the campaign being that of the time when the Shivans are first discovered. I enjoy it and have beat the Terran Gauntlet once.

Moderators, I suggest you make a "Hi I'm new thread" for new people, but if newbs don't come that often, dont' bother. :D

Unfortunately, I'm not equipped with beams, or I'd blast you.  I'm sure someone will be along to fry your hull with the traditional HLP greeting soon enough.

Welcome to HLP, full of hard working coders, artists, developers, and people like me, who don't do anything really useful, but are allowed to hang around anyway.

:welcome:


Pretty good download links of the Freespace2 can currently be found in this thread, if you are interested playing the FS2, as it might be pretty hard to find it from stores or even from the internet. Also read Karajorma's FAQ before doing anything else.
Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light

Thanks, guys. I'm not much of a coder or artist myself, but I am a die-hard fan and player.

Re: I don't know where else to put this....
*Warning* You have now passed into the area known as  HLP, warning traveling here is dangerous, so travel at your own risk and tread litely.Warning do not feed the animals,as they have mutated by the agent *Freespace2. They will bite, and infect you with this virus, in effect making you like them.

They may seam sweet by looks, but react very harshly to the words FS3, and those words are never to be spoken, unless your hapless body be shreaded in a moments notice.

You may carry a flamethrower, however it cannot have fuel. The creatures feed on the flames and can do harm to themselves and the area arond them.

Their nature is to eat, sleep and dream about the unknown word SCP,the meaning of this word is not yet known, but they are allways slowly working on it, while getting wrapped up more in it by every second.

Also of note, some have shown intelligence, however they are the most dangerous, as they are unstable.

We have observed three types of these creatures:

The first are the most common the are called the Forumites, as the majority they speak their minds about everything, complaining their likes and dis-likes to the Modders and Coders. Often the forumites and a group of the Modders called the Modelers get in arguements concerning the unknown phrase "canon" however all atemps to figure out what it means has failed.

The Second group is known as the Modders and they are split into two groups.

the first called the Moddelers. What they do is mostly unknown, but what they do is very important to the creatures. They also tend to get in arguements with the forumites and sometimes with the powerful Coders. They tend to do what they want, whether enbraced or shunned by the rest of the community.

The Second group of Modders is the Freders. As with the Moddelers their place and work is unknown. They are rarely observed, as they tend to lurk around. However one of the sports is bug hunting, what kind of bugs they hunt is not known.

The Third group of creatures is the powerful Coders, it has been said they can change reality as they see fit, and have the ability to turn whoever angers them into monkeys. They show the most intelligence, and the community follows their every footstep.

As you tread thru this land, watch your back and be safe, unless you be turned and join this ever growing force of creatures as they try to take over the gaming world.....

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Welcome. If you've never played Freespace 2, you're in for a great ride.

I've played FS1 Darkness Rising (an OEM version) and so I am familiar with the gameplay. I have just one question. How different is the Myrmidon from the Apollo? Any significant difference in maneuverablility, speed, or payload? I'm just curious.

One thing your also forgetting WeatherOp, is the Observers.  They don't say anything, but criticize (good or not) the work of of the other races, and use their stuff at random..  :p

The Myrmidon has an odd feature that some say is a mistake and others say is an easter egg.  Think of an Apollo carrying a Harbinger. ;)

I think the forumites count as lurkers, observes and normal people.

That's pretty funny. I'll have to look once I get the game running.

The Myrmidon is also superior due to its 3x2 bank of primaries.
