The year is 2367, thirty two years after the Great War. Or at least what YOU thought was the Great War. The seemingly endless tide of Shivan capital ships, bombers and fighters with super advanced technology was nearly overwhelming.

As the Terran and Vasudan races finish rebuilding their decimated societies, a disturbance lurks in the not-so-far reaches of the Gamma Draconis system. Your nemesis has arrived...and they are wondering what happened to their scouting party.

The time between now and its release depends entirely on how much support the SCP can get from the community.  Most of the staff is busy cracking down on bugs like crazy, but there are many things anyone can do to help them in this quest.  First of all, you'll need a copy of the 3.6.10 Beta MediaVP files, found here, then you can check out the Recent Builds forum to grab a Build and start playing/testing. The builds being released for testing should have all planned features implemented but from here on out, no more big additions (excepting possibilities in which they fix a serious outstanding bug). And there are a lot of bugs, and even as they get squashed, more bugs are being reported. We need your help to keep these numbers shrinking.  But, you can't code?  Well, just finding unknown bugs is important, just play the games and pay attention.  Keep in mind there's never a such thing as too much information.  Before submitting a bug report, ask yourself:  What's the person who reads this likely to ask me for next?  If you wait for them to ask for it instead of taking the effort to add it then, you're only increasing the turnaround time on that bug. The more bugs that get squashed now, the better 3.6.10 will be.  And the better it is, the sooner subsequent builds will be able to be released, along with many features that haven't made the cut now.

"(the cutscenes, except for the endings, are unfortunately missing in this CD-rip, but fortunately they are not necessary to your knowledge of the plot, since you can tell how the storyline is unfolding during briefing and de-briefing scenes)"

here are the links to recient versions of the source code project

Official 3.6.9
Hard-light.net

3.6.10 Beta
Hard-light.net

3.6.9 is the official release but I have been using the 3.6.10 Beta release for sometime now with no problems and the many added features that are in the Beta release are worth installing 3.6.10 instead of the official release in my opinion.

Freespace 2 is a legendary game, but you really need SCP to keep it up-to-date.

Almost 10 years later and still THE BEST space flight sim ive ever played. If you haven't played the source code project of this game that you can find at hard-light.net you simply do not know what you are missing!

That is not Freespace 3. There never will be a freespace three.

Here are a bunch of reasons why that is (not in any particular order)

1) Interplay owns the Freespace rights, not microsoft, and interplay is going out of business
2) If it wasn't made by Volition, it isn't FS3
3) If you look at the title very closely, that is Starlancer, not Freespace 3
4) Wasn't Starlancer the prequel to Freelancer?
5) Wasn't Starlancer developed and released right after FS1 (if not before?)

I am appalled to think that you thought a game like starlancer was an addition to such an awesome series like Freespace.
