This was created when the source code was released for Freespace 2. In addition, content update packs have been developed which take advantage of the upgraded game engine. These packs include higher-poly models and higher resolution textures. The end result of this project is to create a graphically superior (and far more flexible) game engine, while still retaining all of the gameplay elements that made FreeSpace 2 successful.
Knossos.NET (KNet) Announcement
Hi everyone, we wanted to share an important announcement regarding the current state of FSO launchers! As many of you might have heard, the most modern, stable, and cross-platform launcher that we recommend to use is now officially Knossos.NET (KNet for short).
We highly recommend folks switch to using KNet. Upgrading to KNet from classic Knossos has innumerable benefits and robust stability. KNet is a highly improved launcher that fixes the bugs and issues of classic Knossos. This includes orders of magnitude faster loading, better joystick setting, easier option handling, smaller file size, mod compression and many more updates 🙂
KNet also uses the same library folder structure, so no need to redownload your currently installed mods! You don't even need to point KNet at your old library, it's automatic!
Get KNet for PC, Linux, and MAC here:

any mods dat allows u to fly captial ships ?
Yes, Blue Planet has the "The Blade Itself" campaign where you are flying a capital ship. Dimensional Eclipse has also a capship flying mission. Aswell there is Blue Planet: Battle Captains which is a capship campaign.
I can't get this to work. I can load into the game menus but when launching the ship I have tons of errors. I think I installed it incorrectly or something. I have FS Open installed. I really want to get this running.
Any advice please?
Thank you!
i have been looking to play freespace 2 open online for some time now, however i have been on the hard light chat several days now asking for mp matches and it seems they have all moved on to call of duty / other games or so i was told, no 1 seems to play the multiplayer these days however if anyone would like to arrange a mp game drop me a pm, my time is GMT since i live in the uk, but am usually available at good PST times as well for those in america :)
Whats that?
what's what?
...that
i went and bought this off GOG.com AND DAMN IS IT EPIC :) also who here plays multiplayer online
I love this game and I like Freespace SCP. Wish there was a mod where you would be inside one of those big ships but only allowed in the flight hanger. Until the alarm goes off then you will be ordered to your fighter or Bomber. Something that would give you even more of the feel of being a response team pilot.
I don't know just a idea of a new mod.
Thats basically the gist of the Eternal Silence mod for Half Life 2, but the space combat in their's isn't anywhere near as fantastic as in FS2. Still, its an interesting concept to fly into an enemy ships hanger, jump out, have a fire fight with their pilots, run through their ship blowing stuff up, and getting back to your ship before you're killed in the explosion. Worth checking out, its been awhile since I've tried it so it very well may have been improved.
A la Star Ixiom? I doubt it can be done, but that doesn't mean you can't use cutscenes showing pilots moving to their combat spacecraft.
