Hello everyone!
on: January 30, 2006, 09:17:37 pm
I've played X-Wing Alliance for many years and enjoyed that game immensely. Just recently though I heard about a game that was supposedly better than X-Wing, namely freespace 2. After reading that it had gone "free" (so to speak) I tried to find a copy. Which is why I'm here.

Zman was kind enough to allow me to access his FTP site and encouraged me to sign on.
I'll try to contribute a bit, and possibly harass you all with questions on this game since I've never played it before.  :)

Once you've downloaded, this should talk you through installing the game and also how to upgrade it with FSO and make it even better :)

:welcome:

Welcome to the HLPBB! :D Please enjoy your stay, however remember to listen to the admins and other community members, unless you have a strong urge to be spaced. In the event of an emergency, flamethrowers are located under your seat, and in the very likely event that they are filled with water, please use the shotguns in the weapons lockers. Do not crawl through ventilation spaces, and if you do, give the big red spider thing your lunch; he might leave you alone. Thank you, and enjoy your stay! :D

Actually, if you see a spider, start getting worried and call for a can of Raid. Now, if you see our resident Shivan Carl, on the other hand, a money or lunch bribe tends to shoo him right away. If it doesn't, pray for a quick death.

No, he's been in a huff since he... er, it, was refracted into the wrong kind of prism.  Not a fan of cubic zircona, apparently.

It was more of a weapons triangle, really.

Of course old Blue is an arms dealer.  How else do you think it got access to the weapons lockers?  :rolleyes:
who needs a signature? ;)

Let's call it a futuristic, much more efficient and precise version of a machine gun. Also, you notice they shoot the Shivan in its Cluster-Eye.
