Possibly the patriotic among you are celebrating Confederation Day today. In 416 years the Confederation will be founded to do this and that here and there. A few centuries later the Kilrathi will execute a surprise attack on McAuliffe that will exist as one of the most infamous early assaults. But for now, sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
A fellow by the nick of Rambo is leading a new mod for Half Life called "Space." It features a major Wing Commander component and draws from several other major franchises.
The mod is called "SPACE: A Space combat flight simulator for Half-Life." We plan on having Wing Commander ships, Babylon 5 ships, and Star Wars ships. The current beta plan is as follows.Their website was just updated with newer information. There are also various screenshots and more. You can find it here.Beta 1 will include the following as of now:
Basic stuff coded (hud, physics, ect...)
Deathmatch mode
The Hellcat V (WC)
The X Wing (SW)
The Tie Fighter(SW)
The Starfury (B5)
BasesBeta 2:
Team Deathmatch
Maps that take place on the planets' surface
4 new shipsBeta 3:
Capital Ships
Mission Based Team multiplayer modeWe're gonna try to get the first beta out in 3 to 6 months with each beta after that taking 2 months. This is not set in stone. The major problem is that we need people. Right now I have one coder and one mapper. We need people who can do textures, models, maps, code. Anyone interested can contact me at Texmurph@optonline.net. We also have a basic website up at http://www.angelfire.com/games2/HLspace/. That will be updated as we have more info. If you have any questions e-mail me. Thank you for your time.
Or one does anyway. The site for the Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald features a review of the WC Movie, and it can't praise the movie enough. You can read the review here. Thanks go to Kn'Thrak for pointing this out.
