Well, this project wrecked my whole game. Currently troubleshooting.

I've never heard of Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. My Computer cannot run this game.

But by god, when i do get a computer that runs it, this is what i will play first. Been awhile since people tried making a Freespace RTS Mod, and this is the best one i have seen.

Looks pretty cool. It has that medieval look from the original Warhammer, while still keeping the grim futuristic look from 40k.

Thank you for linking the movie. It was a good watch. Even if some parts were predictable, it's not often we get to see a Warhammer 40k animated movie, considering they didn't do so well in the past.

This might be just a single step out of many for Games Workshop to allow for more Animations. Warhammer is too damn cool of a universe to have it be restricted. Computer Gaming has made a comeback thanks to Dawn of War, why not bring back animations?

On a side note, Terrence Stamp makes a pretty convincing Captain.

I am excited to hear that you got yourselves some great new additions to your team in such a short amount of time. The work shown is damn impressive, and i can't wait to see the "normal mapped" models. It'll take one big load off my aging computer.

I am overjoyed to hear that with all things set in place, you guys have set a time and date for the beta. You guys have come a long way, and this is a pretty big milestone that some mods of the same colossal ambition never reach. I congratulate you guys.

It sucks that i won't be able to try the Thrawn's Revenge mod right now though. I have the original, but not Forces of Corruption. Damn.

All i need to do now is install this and have this great mod-

Oh wait, my 2nd Max Payne 2 CD is all busted up. Horse ****.

The only thing that's missing is the inexplicably neccesary Willhelm scream when the ship breaks apart.

Transmission recieved. Eta.One.Using your target for attack!

Awesome stuff man, just imagining leading that Tie Advanced Patrol to go hunt for some rebel scum is giving me goosebumps.

Absolutely terrific work by your newest addition to the team.

Good, Hunting, Mu, One!

I got a question. Will it be possible to turn off the added advanced effects like better bloom?

As disappointing as it may be, my computer simply cannot run such effects well. Just having that extremely detailed Star Destroyer alone is enough to throw my computer into a fit.

But the bloom is the one that truly sends my computer into a meltdown. Will there be an option before implementing the mod on FL Mod Manager to have the option off?

Ah, yeah, i know what you're talking about. Yeah, the most populated server housing Freeworlds had one of the worst server admins i have ever come across. But that was such a long time ago.

Wait a minute. There are a few mods in development for this game, right? i remember seeing one that was a total conversion being worked on by a russian speaking team, but i can't find it anymore.

Holy ****! Every update you just see a glimpse of them pushing the limits of what the Freelancer engine can do.

This is absolutely amazing. Capital battles in Freelancer always felt limited somewhat due to lack of vision. This changes everything.

I also like the changing of outfits according to your faction. Again, just having changing outfits was an ordeal that would involve disconnecting from the server, or something of that nature. This completely eliminates it.

Those statues look familiar...Are they from Ceaser III?

Well, i finally got to try out the mod, and what i can say, it's awesome and completely different from Battlefield 2. I remember playing Project Reality in it's infant stages, so going from a tweaked damage modification of what i played then to a full blown new game now, is amazing.

However i am having problems playing this game, only because of the requirements. From the time i bought this and played this in 2005 to present day 2010, i have made no significant hardware upgrades, and as such, this mod is extremely slow for me, especially when handling the bot AI. But when it's not freezing up, it's working perfectly.

The MAJOR problem i have is, it's not the modification that is causing me problems, it's the game itself. Ever since i have downloaded and installed BF2 Patch 1.5, this piece of **** now kicks me out of the desktop whenever i so much as bring up the menu during gameplay, and i can't even log on to my old accounts at all, because i get the same result.

Not ONLY that, but since the loading times have no changed at all for me, I'm not going to bother trying Multiplayer. In my case all that will happen is Punkbuster will deem me an afker and i will get kicked out of the server as soon as it is finished loading and i click on the play button.

The mod itself is absolutely amazing and to me, it pushes the limits of a 2005 game, the result is a professionally polished game. The sad thing is, because of my current predicament I am unable to experience 100% of this modification.

I call it horrible timing on my part.

D'oh hell, as soon as i'm going to download the Single player part of Project Reality, it's been removed.

Oh well, i can wait a day.

Very glad to hear that the Unshielded TIEs will have some advantages for the sake of balancing.

I have a question. With a heavy emphasis on Capital ships being attacked or attacking bases, does that mean that players have to be extra careful in their pvp/pve battles?

It's just a seemingly integral part of freelancer that where there's an Attacking player(s) and Defender(s) fighting near a base, both parties, including Defending players will always fire upon the base by accident, resulting in the base just targeting and firing at whatever they please.

Then again, looking back, I just realized it was worse in the X-wing/Tie Fighter Series, and Freelancer offers much bigger leeway. I suppose the difference is by a few laser shots.

That's why it's a work in progress.

I like it very much, successful recreation of the VoT exit/entrance

That is just too awesome.

Question, will the Shuttle original model just be with the wings folded up for the sake of "realism", like docking in stations and planets?

Awesome, all that's missing is the 3 Z-95 headhunters "suddenly" appearing to try to waste that oh so defenseless lambda shuttle.

Wait a minute...That's no moon.

The problem is, you're bringing up the graphics of a 2004 game. For it's time, Half Life 2 was the best game around graphically. Let me repeat myself, it blew people away in E3 2003, and it was released in 2004.

It's fairly obvious that games like Crysis have way better graphics, but unfortunately then, and still now, you need a computer geared to the teeth to run that thing just right.

Speaking as a person who played Tie Fighter as a child, an early Freelancer player, and at one point in time a regular of Freeworlds, I personally cannot wait to see this mod in Action.

For some reason Lucas Arts has taken a disinterest of reworking or re-releasing their Space Simulator games that have helped make the Star Wars Universe as popular as it is today, so it's left upon you creative and skilled modders that make what used to be regarded as just a dream become possible.

Not only does this mod make the Star Wars Universe look perfect in it's own right from the space flight perspective, the fact that you guys are finding new ways of pushing the old Freelancer engine to it's limits (especially in ways that other modders of this game thought it was not possible) make this one of the greatest mods i have ever seen.

So i wish you all great things, and again, i cannot wait to see this mod in action, to hop on a Tie Advanced(Avenger) or a Tie Defender, and blast some Rebel Scum out of existence.
