Space Combat Simulators.

What about Nexus, Jupiter incident? I saw it at Futureshop a year ago, thought it looked interesting.

Guys, i've been surfing the web and apparently there isn't starlancer or tachyon or independence wars 2 anywhere to be found in Brazil. The only offers i found were from pirates... but i wanna acheve legal copies.

Is there any site that sells truly legal downloads? I'd totally download one of the kind...

I visted Hard Light a couple of times today with no difficulty. It's working for me right now.

Yeah, it is just that they have changed URL... I googled it and now i found the place, still working and kicking ass (amazing how active is the modding community of a 1999 game...)

BTW, fellow CFCers, if you like these games and never played Freespace, you have now quite a time of fun ahead. These great guys from Hard Light, enjoying the freedom of the open source code (for a series of reasons that involves copyrigths, there apparently won't be a Freespace 3, and the developers decided to open the game and it's source code - so now it's actually legal to download it in full for free on the web), created the Freespace 2 SCP complete package.

This includes:

- enhanced graphics compared with the game original version;
- The whole descent:Freespace - the Great War and Silent Threat campains (over 40 missions);
- The whole Freespace2 main campain (over 30 missions; probably over 50 as this may include the extra action of the GOTY edition - with this and the previous, you have the entire official storyline of Freespace)
- The derelict campaign (usermade extraordinary campaign featuring the dicovery of a sister ship of the Flagship destroyer Lucifer - over 40 missions, with full voice acting);
- Best of all, fully legal and completely free of charge. No kidding, just go there, get it, and play over a hundred missions in the best sci-fi space sim game yet.

Replaying Tachyon ended in disaster as on one of the Galspan missions you are meant to dock with a starbase but it just says unable to dock. Any ideas?

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Sure you're at the right starbase/sector/docking platform?

It's been a long time since I've played it, so that's all I can offer.

Fred: Good news on Freespace, will have to look into that sometime in the future

I've been trying to download the exact torrent file you mentioned for a while now (we must be visting the same threads within hours of each other). But the tracker seems to be down. Hopefully it will be back up soon. I have a freespace two disc but. I think I'll download that pack anyway just to make sure everything is together and in one place.

Here's a suggestion, http://freeallegiance.org/. A old sim but it has been taken over. Graphics are still pretty good, some cores are pretty good, but newer ones are often unstable.

I'm suprised no-one has suggested EVE Online. I don't play it but i've heard it's pretty good. And free to download, but I think it costs to play for a period of time.

EVE isn't really a space flight sim, its more of nexus and homeworld style. And someone breat me to allegiance.

I would syggest Babylon 5: Into the Fire, but that was cancled to make Pro bull Rider *cries*
