Their developments were mostly in kinetics/ missile areas while this still leaves them hopelessly outgunned against most of the GTVA fleet, this gives them a fighting chance (.at least they figured shields out). With their developed beam and AWACs technologies they probably hoped for a quick win, but the Solarians worked hard in the meantime, to get ready for another Shivan invasion. So, at the end of AoA, turns out that the whole expedition was actually a coverup for GTVA attempting to conquer, rather than reconnect with Earth (.but why?). To explain what I love about it I'd probably need to go a bit deeper into the spoiler territory, but suffice it to say - these are some of the greatest Freespace 2 missions ever made. This is pretty much the creme de la crop. I played through a few new campaigns, and thought that I'd be happy to learn which others do you think are worth playing - as well as to share my opinion on those I played/started.

The modding scene for F2 seems to still be somewhat active, with updates to the mods (and, hopefully, new mods) still being worked on/released.

Lo and behold, I found a nifty app called ' Knossos' that wraps around your game files to allow easy mod/ additional campaign management.

I dogfought, intercepted, and bombed through a few missions, before coming to a conclusion that, much like a double cheese/jalapeno/potato pizza at 2 AM, this is going to give me less pleasure than expected.īut then I thought to myself - 'dude, there was a pretty cool mod you've played a few years ago, so it might be worth checking if the community spun anything else up'. It's always pleasant to re-read a liked book, but when part of the charm is the mission structure and having to react to changing conditions on the fly, as well as not being 100% aware when you can actually make a difference, and when some event is scripted, this becomes a problem. Problem is - while the main campaign is written very well, by now I knew it by heart.

I've had a few free evenings a while ago and stumbled upon a discount for it on GoG, so I thought 'eh, why not'. Sure, X-Wings and TIE-Fighters were all solid, very good games and all, but I'd always pick F2 over any of those. It always felt to me like Freespace 2 is the definitive space combat sim, to which very few games came close. Follow us, or on Facebook and Instagram.

Saturday's launch marked SpaceX's 33rd launch of 2023 and its 238th launch overall. You can follow the mission on with our Ax-2 mission live updates page. Saudi Arabia is flying two astronauts on the mission, Ali AlQarni and Rayyanah Barnawi, with Barnawi becoming the first Saudi woman to fly in space. Called the Ax-2 mission, the flight is commanded by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, with paying customer John Shoffner serving as pilot. On Sunday (May 21), the company will launch its third rocket in three days, this time to fly four private astronauts to the International Space Station for the commercial company Axiom Space. The company also launched 22 of its own Starlink 'V2 mini' internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast on Friday.Īnd SpaceX isn't finished for the weekend. This launch will be the second in rapid succession for SpaceX. 'We built extra satellites as an insurance policy, and with SpaceX's stellar track record, we look forward to another successful launch, which will position us even better to replicate the longevity of our first constellation,' he added. 'Our constellation is incredibly healthy however, the spare satellites have no utility to us on the ground,' Iridium CEO Matt Desch said in a statement in September 2022, when this SpaceX launch was announced. (Iridium already has nine spare satellites in orbit.) The five Iridium satellites are spares that will provide further backup for the company's 66 currently operational telecom satellites. 10 weird things about SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites SpaceX launches 1st batch of new 'V2 mini' Starlink satellites to orbit
