****ing odd, last night they had a homeworld two shot which had the mothership and pulsa corvette in view. They must have recently changed it, though it technically still be wrong.

AoE2 screenshot has units that aren't in the base game, SS2 shot seems to be using updated textures and models... I think whoever said they got these shots through google was right on the money.

Blue Planet really is the face of FS2.

Storyline-wise, I did enjoy Freespace 1 and 2 quite a bit. When I downloaded and played Age of Aquarius, I was convinced I had found the pinnacle of gameplay storytelling; the end-all, be-all of entertainment. I was more captivated and taken in by BP:AoA than I have been in any movie.

Then I played War in Heaven - which I nearly didn't download in the first place, for fear of it not being as good as AoA (after all, how could it be as good or better than that eighteen-hour-long monument of awesome?). Turns out though, it was even better! When I heard it was not voice acted, I thought it would take away from the quality of the mod - but strangely, It's better without it. The writing of the dialogue was so good, my mind actually filled in the tone and inflections of the words , far more accurately and intricately than any voice actor could.

When is the next installment in the blue planet series coming?

We're working on it right now. It's always hard to predict, but our pace of progress seems similar to that on War in Heaven Release 1, so for the moment I'd guess twelve to eighteen more months. Could be faster or slower.
