The game begins 32 years after the Great War. You are a pilot in the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance (GTVA), a single entity formed to cement the alliance between the Terran and Vasudan races after loss of communication with Earth. However, opposition still exists to this union, and a faction of Terrans led by Admiral Bosch formed the Neo-Terran Front (NTF) and has rebelled, taking over several star systems. The player's early missions are to quell these rebellions and bring in Admiral Bosch. Eventually the another alien species is encountered.

A bunch of new stuff has been added over the last few months, notably Powerups. Everything from the Silver and Gold Rings to the glowing blue Fuel Cells can potentially spawn from destroyed enemies now. I also finally set out to change the UI from Freespace to something more akin to Star Fox. A lot of thanks goes to Axem for his script work:

Probably the best space sim I've ever played. Despite its age, it holds up to the test of time in terms of gameplay.

im possible going to make star fox evolve war
After purchase, download to Desura & successful multiple installations and attempts to launch I get two (2) error messages: (1) "Please configure your system in the launcher before running FPS2. The launcher will now be started!" (2) "Freespace2/Fred2 cannot be launched from a drive root directory." Please help.
BUY THIS GAME FROM GOG.COM NO PROBLEMS. ITS ALSO OPEN SOURCED SO YOU CAN GET UPDATED GRAPHICS AND EXTRA MISSIONS. BEST GAME EVER FOR SPACE SIMULATORS
You need to go to Hard-light.net and follow the instructions. when you download Turey's FreeSpace Open Installer and folowed the instructin for that find the file named FRED2 within C:\Program Files (x86)\Desura\Common\Freespace 2\ and move it to the folder you created for the files you downloaded with Turey's FreeSpace Open Installer. then move the file named fs2_open_3_6_14 into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Desura\Common\Freespace 2\ folder. then you duoble click it and it will start up the game. Then you can creat a short cut to the game on your desktop. This worked for me and I hope it works for you!
I'm getting the exact same thing and im trying every thing, i'll get back to you if I figure it out.
A light year is a measure of distance, not time.
Wingcommander saga and Diaspora are the TWO MIST EPIC MODS for this game. TC as well obber fun to play.
PURCHASE GAME AND WILL NOT EXECUTE.....HAS A SETUP PROBLEM.....RUNNING TWO LAPTOPS...WIN 7 AND WIN 8.
2 solutions :
- execute with XP compatibility and "execute in administrator mode"
or
- Take FS 2 Open Source ;D
