Freeworlds: Tides of War is a fan built Star Wars total conversion mod for Digital Anvil's Freelancer game that was released several years ago. When fans began to make mods for Freelancer, one of the many things people were keen on seeing was a Freelancer mod based on the Star Wars universe developed by George Lucas. Freeworlds and Tides of War were the answer to this outcry. The development team of both mods have now joined forces to create an epic new Star Wars TC, Freeworlds: Tides of War.

I am continuously astonished at what you have managed to do with the Freelancer engine. Very well done indeed!
Thank you! We're very fortunate to have such great modellers/texturists.
With all the awesome effects you guys are pulling off I'm starting to wonder if you nicked the Freelancer source code and you're just not telling anyone about it! :P
lol. Maybe we did...(no we didn't but it would be nice to have!)
agreed
Does anyone else think "Heavy Shuttle from EV Nova"? I'm not accusing plagiarism or anything, it's just I've been on an Escape Velocity kick lately, trying to trigger the Polaris missions, and I've been seeing a lot of the Heavy Shuttle, which looks a little like this.

First appeared in Dark Empire in 1991. So that's 5 years before the first EV game. I think it's safe to say that if anything, it was the other way around XD
