What happened to Xinny and Zero (the actual Descent: FreeSpace players)?
I'm not refering to Alpha 3 and 4 from Into the Lion's Den, but to the FreeSpace 1 players who had the privilege to "become" FreeSpace characters. If I got it right, these two fans perfomed so well in FS1 multiplayer that :v: decided to reserve a spot for them in FS2 as SOC pilots.

Have any community veterans ever had the chance to talk to them? Is it even possible to get in touch with them, now?

But in all seriousness, that is a fairly good question. What else do we/did we know about them as well? mid 20s perhaps?

I actually usually find reality's graphics ****ty. Especially when I look in a mirror.

Reality's graphics are pretty bland I think overall, though in places the designers have done really well. And the framerate is always exceptional no matter what's going on or how many characters are on screen at once.

And yeah, I hate it how you don't get to choose your avatar either. Sorry about your bad luck. Some people have such cool avatars.

It depends on what map you're playing in. The one I'm in has some really nice lighting effects.

Yeah, that sucks too, some people get such cool levels to play. Others get horrible levels where it's so easy to die and the difficulty level is obscene.

Very nice map.

Sometimes I just want to reboot the game.

And by that I mean the server, not just my client.

It seriously needs a Patch, and some DLC wouldn't go amiss either.
