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.

Hello all! I am looking at this intriguing mod for FreeSpace 2. I have been playing some other excellent FreeSpace 2 mods previously, in particular Beyond the Red Line (based on Battlestar Galactica) and The Babylon Project (based on Babylon 5). With this Star Wars-based mod, however, I am having some surprising difficulties getting it to run. I have downloaded the latest 1 GB file, as well as the latest patch. However, as opposed to the aforementioned mods, I cannot find any executable files among that data. The only pointer I could find led to the FS 2 Open engine, but it seems that engine requires an installation of the original FreeSpace 2 game. Isn't there any way to run this Star Wars mod standalone, like the other FreeSpace 2 mods I tried? Thanks! |
