    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Upgrading the station models should be entirely doable as well, though it's a secondary goal compared to the fighters ajd other ships. As for the interior environments and the characters... difficult but not impossible. I've taken a look at the files for the 'rooms', and it seems workable, as...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    I am glad to present here the ultimate fighter of the Civilian branch, accessible only to top-level Freelancers: the F-44X Super Rapier: pretty much an early model of the Nephilim War era Rapier variants, capable of mounting the best weaponry and shields of the game, which will conclude the...

    Wing Commander Saga via Freespace Open

    Hmm, a Bengal in Saga? I don't remember it being in the game files, any way for me to 'acquire' it for porting elsewhere, if that's OK with the team?

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    And here's the new Beta package, which includes the following replacements: Liberty: * Light fighter -> Arrow * Heavy fighter -> Hellcat * Freighter -> Confed Shuttle * Cruiser -> Southampton * Dreadnought -> Jutland (the landing-capable ones from vanilla are landing-capable too) Bretonia: *...

    Planet Nine Might be a Black Hole (Did the Wing Commander Movie Predict This?)

    Planet nine is and will always remain Pluto in my heart, no matter what these silly astrophysicists claim. As for a remnant black hole caught by the Sun, that would be a pretty fascinating discovery if it came to be true, and I can barely imagine how many probes would be sent around.

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    On another note, here's the Bretonian corvette, the Venture: The Exeter, shown below, will stand for the Bretonian mid-range capital ship: Still got the carrier/dreadnought as the last Bretonian capital ship to import to the game, and two fighters, most likely Wing Commander I/II era for...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Huh, the game does feel pretty nice-looking using third-person, but I guess to all their taste. For joysticks, nope, as far as I can tell, it was a complaint I saw regularly, and keep in mind for aiming that there isn't a central targeting reticule in the UI, making it really painful and...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Some of the ships in the cutscenes are, for some reason, different than the player ships, but I think I'll be able to switch them. As for the carrier landing, I'm going to make more checks with the latest edits I pulled on it, to see whether I can reproduce the bug. As for the increased...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    https://ufile.io/invqt3xq Here's a compressed file, uncompress it into your DATA folder for the game, and it should ask you to overwrite two files. After that, it'll be good, though without the modified .exe, you'll see the ships disappearing at too close distances for confort.

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    The starter ship is a civilian-grade light fighter, though a freighter is available for purchase. However, considering the game design and how you kinda get locked from most content until you get through missions, which are relatively close to one another, freighters aren't that attractive...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Looks like so indeed, thanks for he heads-up! Actually, it seems like DI has made one, when I search in the archives. And Klavs as well. Gotta have to grab one of these to get it in-game, it would indeed be a shame to have a Privateer-like without a Tarsus. Maybe edit the early game sequences to...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    I do not think I have a Tarsus model of good enough quality (gotta check for sure), but I am oh so glad that you volunteered to make one! EDIT: you might get yourself out of trouble, mister, I think I have a suitable textured model in my library. :-P EDIT 2: nah, way too old and the textures...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Fair enough. I guess I'll also add the instructions to modify one's own .exe in any case so that they can use the feature without taking a leap of faith.

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    OK, I wanted to make sure. Back then, I asked - and received - authorization to use the Saga assets for the HW mod as a matter of principle and wanted to check again now, on a more general matter since I ended up working on new projects. On another matter, there is an important element for the...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    The story is definitely going to be playable. The screenshots I've posted in the recent post come mainly from the story, and during my tech demo, I played the storyline all the way to Bretonia without incident, flying a Hellcat and fighting Razor or Excalibur on my way. Right now, the files...

    Wing Commander Saga Klavs Ship Pack

    If you have a copy of Freelancer somewhere, Klavs, I might have a little something that you could possibly enjoy.

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    The work keeps going on porting ships in-game, and here is another sneak peek, the Liberty Dreadnought replaced by a Confederation Jutland from Wing Commander Saga, which makes for a pretty cool sight overall. The Clarkson has replaced the ubiquitous transports, albeit at a relatively smaller...

    Freelancer porting of Wing Commander ships

    Huh, I didn't remember about that one. Thanks for the information, I'll most likely check it, if only for reference on commodities and equipment (file formatting isn't that hard, simpler IMO than Homeworld 2/RM).
