Blue Planet: War In Heaven
FS2_Open Source mod | Released Aug 6, 2010
Eighteen years have passed since FreeSpace 2 and the destruction of Capella, and the shattered colonies of man are finally ready to re-open the jump node to Earth. As the Alliance teeters on the verge of total social collapse, the Security Council deploys the elite 14th Battlegroup to re-establish contact with Earth, and young pilot Samuel Bei finds himself once more under his estranged father's command.
Age of Aquarius describes the journey of the 14th Battlegroup as its mission to the Blue Planet goes shockingly wrong. (StrategyInformer has very kindly provided a mirror for us.)
War in Heaven takes place eighteen months after the events of Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius and details the final stages of the civil war between Sol and the rest of her colonies: a war without good or evil, only shades of gray.
Built at the cutting edge of the FreeSpace Open engine, Blue Planet is a fan-made conclusion to the FreeSpace saga, a story of sacrifice, triumph, and destiny, and one of the most beloved FreeSpace mods of all time.

Hello there.
First, I have to apologize for not posting updates in a while. As you may have gathered, development has slowed down a bit, as people were forced to concentrate on Real Life instead of modding. Our Glorious Leader Darius has gotten a beautiful daughter, General Battuta decided to concentrate more on his academic and writing career, and I was caught up in RL issues as well.
But fear not, dear fans. We may be going slow, but we are going forward. We are officially able to report that most of R2 is done. While I can not give you a release date, even a tentative one, rest assured that you will get to see more of the story.
Now, there isn't really a lot of other things I can show you, but here are a few things you may be interested to see:
As the War moves into its final stages, the battles get bigger and bigger.
Aesaar's new Chimera model, a beautiful reimagining of the original one. In this case, flying around in an old Age of Aquarius mission
The SCP team continues to impress, adding new features to make the game even prettier.
Until the next time, this was The E. Hopefully I'll be able to post more news in the future, until then, have a nicely developing day.

This mod is a drug, it sucks you in and does not let go. I wish more games like this were out, but that might push the limits of the phrase 'too much of a good thing'.

Question: are there any builds that will work with this game AND add text to speech. I'm finding it Very hard to follow the story and dogfight at the same time?
I know this is kinda off topic, but been seeing Asus Star Trek commercials using the same song that you guys used for the opening cutscene for WiH, and I gotta say I think you guys used it better because every time I hear it I keep flashing back to that opening scene as the Atreus is closing in on Artemis Station and the Commorant takes a slash beam across the spine. Gives me chills. Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into this game.
Man I so want to play this, but I think I'm gonna wait till WiH is fully released and polished (like AoA is). Seeing what you did with AoA this truly deserves the title Freespace 3.
And I have a haunch they will return in part 3, bringing with them the lost juggernaut fleet that jumped away second before Cappella supernova, nearly 2 decades ago.
Gotta say, just finished my first play through (had to fight with Antipodes and finally figured it out), and I have so much to say I can't really begin. It was fantastic! Exceptionally impressive gameplay that was challenging, one of the missions even rivaled the infamous AoA mission Forced Entry, and the story told was just incredible, didn't see that ending coming. You guys are fantastic and thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into this mod series. You really are taking the FreeSpace universe to new heights.
Ekhem...
WiH part 2 is already out...
I'm just saying.
