I was wondering if anyone has made a game with the freespace engine that is not mission based - sort of a Privateer type game?

[Unknown Target]

Nope, sorry. It was proved that it was possible awhile ago, but it's extremely difficult, so no one has done it.

[dogeddie]

so something like the Babylon Project is played how? Is it FS2 with different ships but the same missions? thanks

[Topgun]

it has it's own ships and missions... but the gameplay is mission based NOT like privateer.

IIRC Kazan's Ferrium is supposed to be like that. But I forget if that exploded or not.

[Black Wolf]

Ferrium is like the universe. It's constantly exploding and recoalescing in a new form. He restarted it in it's... third or fourth iteration a couple of months ago IIRC.

ShadowWolf's Mercs was designed along those lines. Pity he's not around to get it done though.

[TrashMan]

IIRC, Ferrium will be a TC for FSO, insted of a new engine

SW popped down in MT internal recently (about a month ago), then disappeared again.

The first thing that you COULD try is a non linear mission structure ala Mechwarrior 2 and 4: Mercenaries...
