So, is anyone playing the 1999 classic FreeSpace 2 in glorious HD with the FS2 Open project? Geez, this game is freaking amazing, and the graphics look beautiful by modern standards with the HD texture and model packs.
Some of the fan campaigns look pretty good too. I'm thinking of trying the Blue Planet series after I finish FreeSpace 2.
fuck, i have an unsatisfied infatuation for 2d space sims.
is there any retro or not that is mmo?
i played StartportGE some 10+ years ago

i dont know if its still populated because you cant fucking register at the forums its pending admin approval forever, and i can get it to login on my computers, and the admin wont reply direct emails.
its a mix of elite/escape velocity with bullethel when on planet surfaces trying to invade colonies
and being mmo, there was omnipresent player killing like in ultina online, and head hunting of sorts

Had it on my backlog for ages, played the first couple of missions but always stopped playing because I was playing a lot of Tie Fighter back then and was too lazy to learn a different set of controls to do the same thing
How much progress has been done on the FS2 Open project? Is it similar to how OpenMW has completely revamped Morrowind?
Blue Planet is full of lengthy and overbearing in-mission cutscenes and scripted events. It has a cringeworthy story too, the kind laden with personal drama and it even has the whole "chosen one" bullshit. I recommend you play Procyon Insurgency instead if you want a campaign with fun and well-designed missions with minimal gimmicks and no cinematic nonsense.
