Itano Circus is a fast paced amalgamation of Freespace, Ace Combat, and Macross. From Freespace I take the general gun layout and the way the guns behave in general. From Ace Combat I take the excellent missile-based gameplay, as well as numerous Ace Combat inspired special effects improvements. And from Macross I get the beautiful ambience of the battle with the ambient explosions, flak, and last but not least, the micro-missile.
I really liked how intence the battles were with this mod. I usually have a ship stacked with missiles and launch as many as i can as fast as i can :D
