So this game has been in development for a while, but they finally finished it recently (within the last week, I think). It's a game built on the bones of a space dog-fighting sim called Freespace 2. They've improved the crap out of that engine and created a really cool, authentic BSG experience! I haven't finished it yet, but so far (and to my knowledge) it is not set anywhere near the Galactica, and instead follows a different Battlestar from the start of the 'Fall' onwards.

You don't have to be a fan of space sims to appreciate this game. Or maybe you do. I don't really know. Anyway, I thought I'd share it cause it's a pretty neat (and most of all, free) game set in a world that has seen some pretty average games in the past, and was due a good one!

I shall be downloading this after my exam. I always felt that BSG was the closest Sci-Fi to a future we could end up in. Firefly also makes the cake, but not in the same way

It's a surprisingly good game for a (technically) mod. Very fast paced and explosive. They've thought a lot about the physics, too. A civilian vessel blew up near my viper (wasn't my fault) and I got sent spiralling away with all kinds of warnings flashing on my screen. Not to mention the sight of a Basestar jumping in when you're already close to death is pretty terrifying.

And hey, it's free! Haha. Lots of controls to master, though. Damned three dimensional space.

Kamikaze always works

I'll keep that in mind next time I run out of missiles
