I actually used to lurk at hard-light for several years! It's a great community with very dedicated people :) My father and I were huge fans of the Descent series and, naturally, took up FreeSpace when it came out. Out of most of the games I've played, FreeSpace has always had a unique draw to it. If anyone happens to be reading this thread I definitely recommend picking it up on Good old Games[0] if you feel that you have the time to spare. It's best played with a joystick and is very immersive. [0]: https://www.gog.com/ https://www.gog.com/

Cool! that's actually a reason to unpack my HOTAS. Freespace was kind of the last great space shooter of that era IMO.

the battlestar galactica mod of Freespace2 was phenomenol, and the first immersive space game I ever played

Absolutely seconded! Try out the knossos [0] front end to install the FreeSpace Open mods. 4k support, up-ressed textures and one of the best single player campaigns ever!
