It is just an idea, but since the mission editor is not finished yet it sounds like a quite good idea to me. I think we have all the tools to extract all the StarLancer ships etc and convert them for FS2.
At the moment I am learning how to convert things to FS2 so that I can't do the conversion myself, but if there are some people out there who realy like StarLancer and want to have new mission I am quite sure that we will find someone who can do the things that need to be done.
I wish I could do that myself...

I thought someone already had a few of the SL ships converted...wasn't it Warlock?  ...hey, whatever happened to him anyways?

[CmdKewin]

he vanished from the Lancersreator forums too... weird...

[Culando]

It's a conspiracy I tells ya! @_@

I wouldn't wait for the mission builder. Haven't we been waiting for over a year already? =/

However, a SL mod would rock. I think I suggested that on the VBB back in the day.

Coalition Pilot: Prepare to die pilot
*Sathanas jumps in*
Alliance WingLeader: Dive, dive, dive. Hit your burners pilots.

Heheh.

I think I'd rather see Freespace on the Starlancer engine, myself. But that's because I like the prettier graphics.

Well I played SL over but sadly i didnt liked it, i wasnt scared at all.But when i first met the Sathanas in the nebula i almost peed in my panty.
FS2 has still the best atmosphere.

O.O;; he lives!  IIRC you haven't posted in a while or not very often.

[Warlock]

Ummm just not in the FS2 and modding forums,...SW and hard light forums I've been posting normally

Sides until I get the new GOTP site up I haven't had a place to link pics of anything from to post them

[Shrike]

Has setekh got you that access yet?!

[Warlock]

Nope
He got my email and told me to keep an eye out...never saw anything yet thou

[gevatter Lars]

About the StarLancer atmosphere... it has a lot more than FS (I don't need to be scared to have a good story)
The Pilots are more than just a blip on your radar and when they destroyed the Relaint I realy got angry, because about that time I have gone to love that old ship.
When the Yamato apeard for the first time I was a little bit envious.
The only thing that makes me laugh was the location work. The German version sound quite funny. Everyone has the dialect of his country (like it would be in real live) and sometime it was realy funy....

BTW. I have allready extracted some of the ships, missiles, Stations and found some never seen ships, or have I just closed my eyes during some missions?
Next step is to find the Texturs to that ships.
What I realy need is someone to convert them into FS2. Has someone an interested?

Don't look at me. It's in GS's hands now; yes, I emailed them weeks ago. Yes, I've kept emailing them. There's nothing else I can do.

I have to utterly disagree with you there. Whereas few things in any game were as scare as the Sathanas coming out of the mists of the nebula, that doesn't make the whole game.

I vastly preferred the storyline and events in Starlancer to Freespace (I am apparently one of the few). Most of this is due to the greater emphasis on storytelling (the FS2 story is simply pathetic) and characters (there are what? 3 fully realized characters in Freespace?).

What I would like to see is a rebuild of Freespace2 on the Starlancer engine (its prettier), with a greater emphasis on story and characters thrown in. Of course, when we get to that point, we've just created an updated Wing Commander: Prophecy (three races, characters, story, dogfighting).

[DTP]

You know I really hate lining up for a kill, and then get thrown into some Cut scene. And coming out 10 meters in front of some silly looking cap ship, making me collide.

Star lancers story "at least the demo" was/is "FULL" of common sense Errors.

Common sense. What kind of a early warning station is an Early warning station that can be jumped. If the station can be jumped, then what is the point of an early warning station, since a few fighters, which did not have stealth or anything like that, can remove its warning capability.

The station did not even have any kind of defensive cover. Any Military fool knows that any kind of AWACS, Radar array, mobile or Stationary will need Escort or Defensive units to protect it.

The demo scared me off, big time.

If the rest of the so-called Great story is like that, then I’m happy for that.

Characters, oh yeah, I see for me stereotype young bloke, who is a recruit, then kicks ass, and at the end gets to destroy the big bad enemy’s big bad something. Did anyone say WC.

Some story.

The graphics was not even better than those found in FS2.

What Star lancer has are more effects, that makes the whole thing look like 4th of July or something.

FS2 on the other hand tends to take a more realistic approach to effects.

just my 2 cents, Eurocents that is

[Warlock]

SL's biggest flaw...it's a Microsoft product.

[Zeronet]

FS Story is brilliant.

[Ace]

No offense, but SL's plot I hated. The characters were so stereotypical, while the few characters you had in FS were very well planned out. (Snipes and Bosch)

Sure FS has moments of cheesyness with the Colossus v.s. the Sathannas and actually well everything dealing with that GTVA ship However it's much less cheesy then Mr. Klaus Steiner v.s. generic former eastern bloc countrites in space!(tm)

My real complaint with Starlancer though isn't with the plot, it's how the ships turn. (i.e. more speed to turn tighter) FS and Wing Commander's physics on turns feels more right then how it was handled in Starlancer.

This alone, is why I'm not a fan of the game, the ships don't handle properly.

That's my worse complaint about the game too, followed closely by 'too short'. The physics really needed tweaking. Still, on every count, I prefer it to Freespace.
