That's not a full install, but it includes the exe you need - though ONLY if you click the 'mirror' link.

You'll want to get WXLauncher to configure it and the MediaVPs for graphical goodness.

Normally we would point you at fsoinstaller.com, but the server went down a couple days ago and won't be back up again for a day or two.

It's very annoying. Sorry about the inconvenience.

More contributions are always welcome. I'm heavily involved in Blue Planet, which is a very character-driven narrative departure from the FS1/2 style. It exploded in popularity while all the more traditional campaigns died out, and I'm left wishing for something closer to FS2's narrative style to st...

Not by comparison with modern campaigns, no.

BP, ST:R and Vassago's Dirge are probably the community flagships right now, with Wings of Dawn being also amazing if you're into anime.

Yeah I got the FS2 storywriter to reveal his plans for FS3, that was pretty cool. Dawn of Sol was fuckoff terrible, I'd avoid it. BWO has basically been hung up on stupid organizational issues. Inferno is the only old school campaign project that shows any signs of life and only because Rampage save...

The Reapers are pretty well established to be riffs off Saberhagen berserkers perhaps via Reynolds Inhibitors. The Shivans were probably not even on their creators' radar.

This has been handled.

A member of the X3 development community is on the Blue Planet team. He quit recently, says the whole series has gone to pot since X2.

Well, it could definitely use a good texturer, that's right. Even just some good ideas would help. How would you like to see it, 'ttuta? I'd say ditch the old approach entirely, get rid of the glowing pie slices, and try something a patch more technological? I'm not sure myself, because I suck, but...

Did the beam pie ever get fixed? It's the first thing I saw when I opened the thread, and, well, ouch.

Okay, confused. Is this the Dawn of Sol remake we've been hearing about? The story and factions sound pretty similar. Or is this something different?

I have heard good things. The devs are active over on RockPaperShotgun and seem to be on the ball.

I have heard excellent things.

Ia, ia!
