Stellar Assault: FSO is an independent project by fans of the Original game to create a whole new Space Flight experience for the PC. Focusing more on Classic Sega Arcade-styled gameplay, Stellar Assault FSO is meant to be a fast paced, action-packed homage to the the Arcade Shoot-em-ups of yore. Ship models and gameplay are heavily influenced by the 32x version of Stellar Assault, while the story and atmosphere is strongly guided by the Saturn Version. All in all, SA:FSO combines elements from both games to create a fresh single-player experience.

Description
Another screenshot.
Nice closeup on the rear of the Feather 1...
Nice shot.
I'd prefer better ship textures, with metal elements, not just bare painting, though.
That particular cap-ship will most likely see a redesign soon. Textures and all. However, a clean painted look is exactly what we are going for. Nearly all recent space games (from '97 onward), have a "scrap heaps-in-space" look to them. For us, we are taking a different route, and instead going for a "race-cars-in-space" look. That means, clean paint, bright colors, and a sleek design.
I am fully aware this might not sit well with some of the more hard-core fans of the genre, but I think it will help attract new blood.
