Anyone else here tried the Allegiance space sim (a bit like Freelancer)

[Lupusy]

heh:)glad you guys are interested

i did forget to mention its free (!) MS made it a sort of open source i think -- so there is hope for FL (!) the story goes that Allegiance was such a groundbreaking game back in the early 2000s that it flew over the heads of everyone. So MS seeing its long term potential just gave it to the community. (i think pls correct if my meory is wrong).

Communicty site :-
http://www.freeallegiance.org/

the people there are lovely. they have a cadet training programme where new players are mentored by experienced players for a month or 2. (i never did the programme but i loved sitting in turrets. i hated flying the fighters cos -- i kept dying:()

(do come back and tell me what you think of it -- i would love to discuss it with fellow freelancer pilots)


edit : yes i also forgot to mention its only 70 megs!! but everything is there in the game, starfields, detailed ships, weapons, cockpits, ready rooms, front splash screen, command thingies etc etc custom maps... buuut.. i still prefer freelancer cos -- ah.. i like the long trade trips and fun fights, more easy pace. (ps i suspect the 70 megs is a heavily compressed file. if my memory is right)
