Missin' Galactica? Well a group of fans are developing a freeware Galactica game based on the FreeSpace 2 engine. They've already made a demo and its Friggin sweet!
I've been waiting for this for forever. Freespace(the original and the sequel) are two of my favourite games ever! Plus BSG, one of my favourite scifi shows ever. It can't possibly go wrong! I've been eagerly looking at the updates over the last year or so and the graphics just look stunning, especially considering this is a fan production. They even improve upon the look of the original game, which was pretty darn good.
Gosh, I'm starting to gush.
Ooh, and they're making a Mac version!!
*downloads demo*

When you play the demo, don't skip the training level. It's has the most stunning model of a planet I've ever seen. I also recommend putting your settings way high, you won't regret it. Also make sure you configure the launcher so that it launches the game at a 1024x768 resolution.

HOT DAMN! And here I was just the other day commenting to a coworker and fan that someone needed to do a BSG combat sim. He'd been fiddling around with the Viper model for X-Plane, but this is much, much more awesome!

You should see the pics and videos. Its almost like watching the show.
I think I just creamed my shorts (metaphorically speaking). Words fail me...

DROOL....... I've also been anticipating this for a long time. That download took me nearly an hour from my work connection (dialup at home), but it was WORTH IT!!!! My only complaint was that I couldn't play around as much as I wanted to. Beautiful!
Now to get this multiplayer thing figured out...

Hee hee, I played the tutorial on a whim to see if there were any different features they'd added to the original controls.. my eyes practically popped out of my head when I saw that amazing picture of Earth. Truly stunning.
The only downside when I'm playing is that my computer's quite old, so the sound takes some loading when characters talk over the comms, and this leads to lag(usually at the exact moment I would have had a perfect shot ).
