Heh! That bomber looks like the cross-breeding of a GTF Medusa and a D3 Pheonix!

Phoenix was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the screenies of that ship.

And after reading about the campaign Freespace 2 was what came to mind.

This mod could be -very- cool.. I hope...

Decision making. Control almost every aspect of the ongoing battle as your shipâ??s Captain. Indirectly control defensive and offensive systems, waves of fighters and bombers, and plans of attack. Your decisions impact the outcome of every battle.

Sounds boringly like a RTS. Gimme a couple wingmen, sure, but I can live with being a pawn if the game makes sense.

Ya, saw that.

Seems they're going to mix groundpounding, space-sim combat (ala FS2), and RTS elements.

Like I said, could be awesome, could suck.

Only time will tell!

front fuselage looks more like a pyro than a skippy

tail of fuselage looks like the upper half of a skippy

and THIS looks like the Aerial HK from T-2 and T-3

lol. I know THAT one...

Looks interesting. I might have to check out what the deal is with HL2... looks decidedly more interesting than MOST FPSes... from that mod, anyway. If they have decent vehicles, it may be a winner...
