Inferno is closest in spirit to FS2 itself, certainly...but really if you consider the changes between FS1 and FS2 this would make it less likely to be anything like FS3.

The way the weapons are in inferno r1 remind of you wishing that the beams worked like that when you actually played fs2.

There is a large fanon plot line out there, that started with Derelict.... I certainly wouldn't call it that, but it is quite close to what I'd expect FS3 to be.

And I liked Inferno.

Considering all we saw of Inferno was something they decided to completely redo...

NEVER send them anything; the most luck we've had is a "possibly" on original HTL models of ships... they like the fact that a game they made about 9 years ago still has an active community with, well, activity! The best thing we could do is wait it out for now... if any of us are lucky enough to meet anyone from :v:, then it might be OK to ask about Freespace 1/2/3... perhaps we could get a good rough storyline out of Mr. Scott, and implement it in a community-wide project, similar to Derelict or Inferno in proportion.

Heck... we should organize a Freespace Convention... :lol: your civic centre or mine?

Ahem...

Though I doubt they'd be giving out anything related to story.  That's Intellectual Property that belongs to Jason, Adam, V, THQ, even Interplay, and not to be released to the public domain.  At least you can copyright an HTL model, or a piece of music.  Taking someone's story, changing a few things around, then taking credit for yourself is all too easy.

Seriously, you're still... STILL going on about FS3? Ay, mios Dio..  :blah:

Inferno was really mostly a patchwork of fs1 and fs2, with a couple of filler ins for what would be thought to be fs3. Fs1, the shivans come out of nowhere suddenly. Fs2, having a civil war, and fighting the shivans. Fs3, a knossos to earth was built, and gtva has more efficient beams.
I can see why perhaps they wanted to redo the story. It was fun gameplay, but the whole grim story line thing wasn't there at all. It was like the damn shivans aren't able to kick ass anymore. Inferno was so non-fs, it really turned me away from it, derelict was a lot better. But, inferno alliance looks great and i need to give it a try, and i'm waiting eagerly for the revamped inferno r2 (besides the new ships, i hope the story is better).

Indeed, can we shut up about FS3 now? We all know it's not gonna happen, so it'd be nice if everyone would stop bickering about it.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

*quoted for reference, nothing against you personally, jr, you just happen to be the most recent post with this sort of content*

Let's just summarize this and make it easy for everyone:

Inferno is not, I repeat, is not FS3. Just because it happens to have one of the largest fanbases and is one of the most ambitious of all user-made projects, it does not mean that it is FS3 anymore than Derelict, Deep Blood, The Centaur Project, or Warzone is FS3.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Eh, :wtf: I wasn't saying Inferno was FS3.
I was saying, you can't say its missing the sense of desperation in FS1/2 when it was only 1/5th finished...

I didn't see anything. Although I didn't quite understand what you mean by "FS and FS2 both started easy".

FS... blowing Vasudans away was not exactly hard.
FS2... NTF is the only authorit-zap!  Not hard either.

In both cases, the Shivans came to relieve us of our hubris.
