Community Input: Freelancer HD Starspheres

[Proselyte]

Well, I did some flying around with an intent to scrutinize the backgrounds of each system as I went and that definitely reinvigorated my appreciation for them. To the point that I wonder whether their charm and in-universe consistency would survive a total HD replacement. Like a few other people have mentioned in here, I think they'd have to be painstaking reproductions of the current starspheres with minimal artistic deviation for it to not feel a little "off" when playing, if you're tuned in to this kind of thing. Even then it might catch your eye in an "odd", rather than "cool" way eventually.

Really, this game is old. It doesn't need to try to look more modern than it already does to look damn good. It has a style of its own and it's easy to buy into. Plus, people install HD packs on their own with little difficulty anyway.
