Version 4 of the public Beta has been released (link in summary section), go try it now! Our goal is to create an accurate and fun space combat experience from the Original Star Wars Trilogy. We have analyzed all the original space battles and, to the best of our abilities, we have attempted to capture the same combat style and overall atmosphere from the films. Just like the movies, ships have high velocities, a focus on primary weapons, and encounters are deadly and only survived by those with experience, teamwork, and some skillful use of the force... We chose to use the powerful and actively maintained Freespace 2 Open engine. It provides an engine that is easy for almost any machine to run while at the same time allowing for high quality visual effects, smart AI, and massive battles. The engine is constantly being updated and worked on, and provides very effective modding capabilities along with excellent mission and campaign creation tools.

Sorry about the long overdue update, I was gone for a 6 week field course. But I am back now and trying to work overtime to reach our release date of July 20, which is less then a month away mind you. Anyway lets start off with some test screenshots of the new effects and smarter AI.

You can see the progression of my X-wing's demise, all for your entertainment.

Also here is a shot of the In-Game Mainhall, which has the Opening Soundtrack to Episode IV playing in the game.

In Game Mainhall

Most of what I have been working on is Bug fixes and incorporating the newest code of 3.7.0 RC2 into the mod. Ideally I want to use the link primaries feature along with a few more of the recent updates.

Anyway about the release date. Yes, something will be released, though it probably won't be a full campaign, but don't worry we won't be stopping. I just want to release something to keep the interest up. That is all for now, but I will certainly try to post more updates in the upcoming month. Thanks again for the support and interest!
