Topic: This will be a day long remembered...

It has seen the end of Battlefront and it will soon see the end of WoW*
Thankyou for all your hard work and time First Strike crew. It has been many years in the coming and many chances have missed the mark entirely. In a nutshell, i've been waiting to be immersed in the sights and sounds of Star Wars conflict since i was knee-high. You're beginning to make my dreams come true. I don't see this as an end to the pursuit of Star Wars perfection but you guys have produced the closest thing ever made to what a Star Wars game should have been about.

And i've not even finished downloading it. I just know you've done it right.

I've watched the google vids etc and have scoured the web for missed glimpes of the mod. The space battles look incredible and i can't wait to get on the servers. Trust a team of, clearly, skilled and fast learning "amateurs" to get it right, finally, and show the professionals how it should be done. George, take note. Make this just a battleground in a much wider, persistant online world and you'll have my subscription for life:) This is a quality result, engineered by people with brains and imagination. On a more practical note, maybe LA should use 3rd party engines in their own releases. But new, good engines, that aren't relics of a bygone age (Galactic Battlegrounds/Age of Empires FTL).
I've gotta be honest, i really thought after all the initial false starts, the bf engine not running STs for example, i saw it dying a death. But, obviously, with all the blogs recently i saw it coming together at last and was thrilled. I'm finally gonna get to fly my fave ships! JTL never did it for me sad


97%. WOOT!

I've been waiting for you, First Strike. We meet again, at last. The
download is now complete.

Thank the Maker

Thank the testers

But most of all thanks FS Devs!

how do i join a match?

Re: This will be a day long remembered...

Load up FS. Go into Multiplayer and into Advanced.
Once in advanced uncheck all your server settings (at the bottom of the screen) EXCEPT for "same mod"
You should then see the fs servers. Choose one and join . Kill some rebel scum.
I just finished playin about 10 mins ago and there were about 11 servers.

Re: This will be a day long remembered...

omfg, played a space lvl 1st. Space looks incredible, the stars look movie-like. Flypast-view of a Corellian Corvette with lasers lighting up the space around it and it didn't graphically glitch at all, it just looked perfect. Words fail me as to how sweet this looks and feels. Everyone absolutely loving it ingame. Just my first impressions. Feels great.

Gratz guys, great job and i haven't even played ground forces yet.
