I'm pretty sure I like this more than I like playing regular FS. Seems way faster paced, and it has the illusion of physics.

Anywho, I can't get enough of dicking around with the gauntlets; here's looking forward to playing with you guys soon.

i hope this aint the april fools joke for this year

Yes Nuke. We're all fibbing to you.

i hope this aint the april fools joke for this year

If it were, why would we have posted it the previous day? 

[HermeZ]

Must say I'm very impressed, especially after MP flights

[Dysko]

It's very nice to come back after a 4-day schooltrip to Spain and see BtRL released! Thank you guys!

[Nuke]

pretty damn cool. i like the handeling oddly it reminds me of light fighter combat in nukemod textures and models seem pretty good too. good workout for my 8800 gts. 75 fps all the way

One small personal request though, it worked well, and the mission was great, but please let's not have too many 'escort through the Asteroid Field' missions, I always feel that those sections of the missions are too based on luck, if you happen to be on the wrong side of the ship at the wrong time, things can go horribly wrong very quickly

i agree, one rock chasing mission per mod is suffietient. especially with limited ammo. sure i kept the ship above 50, but i only has a couple hundred rounds left to put through raiders. after that i rammed at them till i blew up.

[Vengence]

lol. Nice one. I have about 200 rounds after the mission, I think I shot 500 rounds at that bastard s..... uh.. that uber raider in the end.

[IceFire]

Yeah the uber raider was absolutely fantastic.  The AI was showing its true colors here.  I suckered him in actually, enabled the glide function, spun around on my nose and laid down a stream of bullets.  I had to do this twice because the guy wouldn't get suckered in right away.

Oh and I absolutely adore the thrusters firing from the ship while you're moving about.  Thats awesomely cool!

[Vengence]

Yeah I forgot about that. Adds a very nice realistic touch.

I have just played the demo. Very well done. Good voice actors and very funny to play. I have to get used to the different controles and the quite strong response of the fighter to my commands but I realy loved the last fight with that last cylon fighter.

Only thing is that I sometimes had problems with the chatter beeing a little bit to much disturbed but from watching the show from time to time I know that its the same their so I don't mind that much.

Maybe I will even get into MP when I got the time. Man it has beein a very long time since I have been in the cockpit ^_^

[Dysko]

Fantastic demo! Especially the multi missions! Can't wait for the full release!

[Polpolion]

What difficulty are you guys playing at?

[Vengence]

Easy, not very easy. I decided to stop the simple flying and chasing and pull off some interesting tricks that took the raider down in the end. Had the difficulty been higher my little canyon run trick may have not worked.

[Nuke]

i started at medium then kicked it down to easy for the asteroid mission.

[Mefustae]

Damn, that was fun. The Viper flight mechanics are just awesome, as are the models and... well, just about everything is top-notch so far. Great work, guys!

[Kaboodles]

Ah dammit.  I don't think I could ever enjoy Freespace again after playing that demo.  I need more of it, and soon. 

[Fury]

I haven't had much interest in FS and its total conversions for several years. I wonder if I should give this a try nevertheless.

[Huggybaby]

Definitely try it!

Graphics are improved all around, the sense of speed is more, both in shooting and flying, flight mechanics are improved (you can glide backwards (Q key) and shoot, you can also slide up, down, left and right (arrow keys), all very intuitively). Explosions are cool looking. It's different and fresh, but comfortable, not weird. Very stable and polished. The AI seems nifty too. The launcher has cool settings built in, and in game the mouse is even turned on by default. ? It's voice acted.

It's fantastic and will go by too quickly.
