Reunion of Freespaceholics
I've looked back today on how long I've been in this community, 6 years, a long time but...

But I've been hiding something the past 3 years, its a cardinal sin among the community but I cant ignore it anymore.

I... I havent played Freespace in 3 years, its just that I couldnt, the last time I flew a mission I was bored! BORED! I dont know whats wrong with me BUT I know I'm not the only one. I know there are others out there and this thread is for those like me.

Come in and tell us how long you've been without Freespace. Dont let others delude you because an addiction is a addiction.

Humour and for people to tell how long they stayed without playing FS.

Re: Reunion of Freespaceholics
I no longer play, I just playtest or test.

At least not until we get a campaign released.

Re: Reunion of Freespaceholics
Working on Diaspora pretty much ruined Freespace for me. I haven't played for about a year. Now that Diaspora is released, I don't play OR work on that either.

And yet I still hang out on hard-light. Go figure.

Re: Reunion of Freespaceholics
Retail mission, not a clue its been that long
most recent mod, WiH and not much of a clue when that was either
Most Recent TC, Diaspora, well technically not played past mission 2 due to my relic of a PC, safest bet would be WCS:DD when it came out

Re: Reunion of Freespaceholics
i probibly haven't seriously played freespace in at least 5 years if you dont count testing my own mods/scripts/code/etc (which i still do from time to time when im bored). but to be fair i haven't been playing a great many games lately, with the exception of ksp and sometimes starcraft 2 (which i dont think ive played in several months).
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Re: Reunion of Freespaceholics
I was on a kick of (re)playing through a bunch of campaigns several months ago, but some other games have managed to get in the way since then.  I need to get things started again, since there's quite a bit of newer stuff out there I've yet to play.

Still slowly piecing together my own campaign, but I haven't hopped behind a strikecraft's controls in about three months.

Re: Reunion of Freespaceholics
Haven't actually played since JAD 2.21. Retail? Must have been years. I only ever replayed the retail campaign once (so a total of 2 playthroughs).

Done some testing here and there for various campaigns including my own, but I find the default FreeSpace flight model aggravatingly slow and boring in terms of dogfighting now, and I've also completely lost my ability to hit anything without autoaim due to working on Dimensional Eclipse for the past year and a bit.

I go on the forums more than I play/do anything, mostly because I can browse forums between classes and at work.

Re: Reunion of Freespaceholics
Yeah the world would be a much better place if all these people had spent the time they spent developing and playtesting wonderful campaigns on simply playing and giving everyone less to play with. I'll tell the team to stop developing Diaspora and come back in 6 months time once we're all up to date shall I? :p

On the other hand, who are we making mods for if everyone is too busy making their own? :confused:

We are making them for the next generation of players who will hear how fun fs is and how good the newer mods are from all the previous... players.... dammit.

yeah we should all just pack up and go home, probably.
