tarr chronicles forums- best place to get info on the game

Apparently, the developers of BTRL got into a snit, so they split up. Diaspora is the result.

i would like to recommend Freelancer's Discovery Mod :-
http://www.discoverygc.com/

There's quite an explosion of really good space sims now.. flowing on after Homeworld. I'm hoping these are what you guys mean by space sims :-

Sins of a Solar Empire
X3 The Threat (and its successors)
Nexus Jupiter Incident
Sword of the Stars
Allegiance
Haegomonia Legions of Iron (mmorpg)
Vendetta (mmorpg)
Yeah -- EVE Online
Jumpgate
Starport
Battlecruiser Online
(a numebr of others also exist)

oh and a very big Navy ship battle sim: Navy Field

I've just re-discovered Star Trek:Bridge Commander.

For a game that's seven years old, it holds up pretty well, thanks to a very strong and talented modding community.

Much of the stuff can be found here: http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/

Be sure to pay special attention to version numbers and readmes - not all mods are cross-compatible.

The two biggest ones (which do work together!) are probably the Kobayashi Maru mod and the DS9FX mod. Careful with the latter, it has some other mandatory and optional pre-requisite mods.

With these you can set up a Federation assualt on a Borg Cube, play a Romulan vs Cardassian "What If?" - loads of possibilities.

He is a scifi writer who discusses the relevance of science in science fiction and how that compares to reality.

Very good stuff IMHO.

Doing my best the site is only a few months old and getting the word out is rough without spamming everyone. I try to find most of the goings on in the space gaming scene and I have a few developers of various games frequent the site and answer questions. Link page is growing and wiki too. Give it time... traffic is coming I think I had 30k people visit last month I just need more to sign up and actually talk in the forums

Thanks to everyone stopping by and if your a mod owner do upload your mods or demos.


-D1-

excellent! I did not know your site is new - it does take a little time to gather momentum! spread the word, folks!

Has there ever been a space game made, or a mod made for BSG?

Great site here for fans of Babylon 5 and the music,

http://www.musicofbabylon5.com/

http://www.beyondtheredline.net/

These guys were working on one, and have a demo, but I heard there were disagreements within the development group, and they split. I think the other group is also working on their mod as well, so there might be another one floating around. I'll post if I find it.

They are based on Freespace 2, and I checked out the demo and it's pretty good. You have full 3D thrust control, and the models are well done.

Edit: Here's a link to their forums - some good info on the game, and BSG discussions in general - http://www.game-warden.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=36

Thanks. any help getting the word out is appreciated plus at some point I won't be talking to myself any more

Just recovered from something the site had for the past 4 days I couldn't login to my site administration and was locked out so had to rebuild the site... that is always fun stuff to do on your weekend.

There is quite the amount of BSG games and mods out there. Besides BTRL you can checkout the many BSG mods for Freespace open, freelancer, diaspora and they even made a good one from the FPS Mount & Blade.

Evochron Legends

Excellent, in my opinion. Seamless universe, trackir supported, joystick supported. Rather difficult learning curve. Single and multiplayer.

From the website:
"You control your destiny in true freeform gameplay with a variety of activities and objectives to complete.

Customize the look, functionality, and performance of your ship with the component-based shipyard. Design your ship for the role you want to play.

Explore a 'seamless' universe without required jump gates or trade lanes to limit your movement, use optional gates to save time and fuel.
Master devastating new weapons and technology. Pilot Alliance military ships into battle to defend Evochron.

Keep the ship, upgrades, equipment, money, weapons, crew, and commodities you acquire in the game for use in both single player and multiplayer.

Join forces with other players in multiplayer to complete more challenging cooperative objectives that can offer much better pay.

EXPLORE TRADE BUILD RACE HIDE CUSTOMIZE FIGHT HIRE
MINE TRANSPORT HUNT PROTECT NEGOTIATE SPY CONQUER "

On seeing this thread I figured I should post a link to Wing Commander CIC as they keep aware of most of the WC mod projects.

Freespace 2, I think supports TrackIR now.

Yes, yes it does! And cockpits too! Pretty cockpits. Oh it is fun, yes yes it is.

Kerbal Space Program - build your own rocket and blast off into orbit .

Lunar Flight

Kind of like Lunar Lander, very addictive and still in development. The dev's great about communicating with everyone.

...and another shout for Kerbal Space Program!
