Hello all, I am new to the community although I've been playing Freelancer since its release.
I ended up finding this forum by searching for a BSG mod for Freelancer. I watched the BSG 2004 remake last year and have been obsessed with it... I've watched all the seasons and all about five times over. I know, it may be sad, I actually like it better than Star Wars! Naturally I wanted to try to play my favorite space combat series on my favorite space combat game, I've been searching for months for a good mod.
I found multiple mods, but only two downloads. The two were Edge of Apocalypse and one that is just called Battlestar Galactica. Both are MP only with no server files included, but neither have servers, even dead ones. From everything I could find the creators refuse to release server files even though the mods are dead and there are no servers anymore. My intent was to just make a LAN server and play that way by myself.
Until I found Galactica 2.0, which I understand has OSP. I have to say that I nearly soiled myself watching the videos and reading about it. I have attempted desperately since I learned of it to find a copy for download, unfortunately the only links to download it are dead. I have searched every way you could possibly think of, even checking any little forum that may even possibly mention this mod for the chance that someone may have put it up for a friend and it's still up. Unfortunately I haven't found any after hours and hours of searching.
I pm Gibbons to try to get a copy, he was kind enough to reply quickly and is attempting to access a copy for me. I have to say that Gizmo Studios seems to be not only talented modders, but decent guys as well. I'm working toward my bachelor in Computer Science, I'm about half way through. Even though I have a good career and don't want to change, I wanted this degree for this exact reason. I would love to belong to a team such as Gizmo Studios one day, making such great projects and doing a hell of a job at it.
I'm very happy to see that FL still has a fairly active community. If you guys are playing another game that is similar with mouse controls, please let me know! I understand that Darkstar One has a similar control scheme, but isn't sandbox like FL.
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself, thank you all for allowing me to participate in the community. I also wanted to thank Gizmo Studios for their hard work and their contribution to the FL community. Lastly, I wanted to see if anyone still has the last release of Galactica 2.0 on their hd and would be willing to somehow share with me. Just in case Gibbons isn't able to access his copy
I look forward to being a part of the community, I'm going to poke around to see if I can find what server you guys frequent the most.
