i don't cheat in games (it defeats the purpose). i didn't destroy them EVERY TIME, but i probably destroyed 10 or 15, just when i felt like it. towards the end of my tie fighter days i could destory a star destroyer by myself. whith no help. and without using cheats and playing the game on hard. it took an hour, but i could do it. not to toot my own horn, but i was a GOD at tie fighter. i beat it with the highest rank possible, and i beat it like 10 times. i used to play it for hours and hours and hours. man, those were the days. i wore out 2 "logitech wingman extreme" joysticks playing tie fighter and privateer.
half-life=r0x0rs, red faction=sux0rs (comparatively).
Yep, totally dead. Would have been amazing....but its been dead so long that by now, even if it was revived, it probably wouldn't be all that playable. A real pity. On the bright side, you can get five or six songs from its soundtrack
The community's still alive. And as long as it is, there is always hope.

Nice and optimistic, although I wouldn't hold my breath.
Sol: I get the feeling that Randall might have been impressed enough with the Vadar/Luke stuff in Jedi (which is really the only good part, especialyl for Randall who isn't going to go crazy over the rather nice space battle) to rate it above Empire. And he's probably just going against the crowd.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Erm, anyone know how to add extra ships to Star Trek: Bridge Commander? I'd like to fly a Miranda or Excelsior or maybe a Defiant or Negh'Var . . . can anyone help?
(Please keep it simple - I'm not that technical - I still haven't been able add an E-wing to X-wing Alliance - I just can't figure it out!)

See my recurring tirade on uber-races from other dimensions.
I'd settle for Privateer 3...

Good ol' "Tachyon: The Fringe", now that's agility. Being able to selectively switch off inertial dampers, gliding forward regardless of aim. And when I pulled a Jackpot on the slotmachine in New Vegas I could buy any damn ship in the store. Those were the days...

Freespace 2. The Sequel to the original Freespace. Freespace itself was a kickass game. Freespace 2 is a triple kickass game. The graphics are so smooth, and so is the storyline. It took me months of looking and $50 to buy a used copy in the states via Ebay. Yes, it's that good. Too bad Interplay discontinued the game.
They just released the sourcecode for Freespace 2. Already, some people are tweaking it to create a new mission pack called Blackwater Operations. This should be interesting.
And, oh yes, I still have Starcraft and Starcraft Brood War. Still looking for some unfortunate winos in the forums to crush like a puny tin can.

Freespace 2 is perhaps the best space combat simulator ever programmed... with the exception of TIE Fighter, of course.
I tried Starcraft but couldn't really get into it. The game didn't draw me in quite as much as Total Annihilation did, despite it having Blizzard's trademark personality and polish.

I'd be up for a game of StarCraft sometime. I am awful, and have never won. But, to contrast with this, I am also bored often. So win win!
