I've been watching and waiting for this since the BtRL team broke up. Can't wait for the download to finish.

First impression, excellent cockpit representation, especially w TrackIR. The instrumentation is fully functional.

Cockpits are superb! You also get nice realistic military style HUD not common in other space sims (i.e. you have working velocity vector and lead computing sight for your autocannons - not a marker where to aim your crosshair). Played few missions and I am astonished what they achieved with this engine. The manual landings are also nice feature (you usually have to land before the Theseus jumps out). Mod of the year almost certain (well, untill I see Black Mesa Source which is coming out in few days...). Certainly a must have!

Second impression, I'm thoroughly impressed! The quality of content is astounding! I did get a hard lock during the campaign intro FMV, but it' not a deal breaker.

I wouldn't go so far to say that until you play Wing Commander Saga (came out this year) and Dimensional Eclipse. They are both worth a try before you call it and they're both Freespace 2 based games.

I know WC Saga - I was a beta tester for the title so I played it thoroughly a year before it came out (that's why it's release seemed to me far away and I didn't considered it for this year's title wink as I should), but you are right it is a great mod (I even see it as something bigger than a mod - a complete game on it's own, and for me it was a GAME of the year).

I didn't tried Dimensional Eclipse - maybe I will give it a go after I finish Diaspora.

But still I'm very impressed with the work put in Diaspora, although it still have some technical issues (too short beta test period?).

I can't get my joystick to work with this and until I do, it's pretty ho-hum.

Still working on getting my joystick to work. I had it working years ago with BTRL. It's just a Microsoft Sidewinder 2 USB, but I imagine I just have to keep messing with it. Without proper throttle support, it's a no go for me.
