Descent: Freespace - Last Mission (Good Luck)

[89DerChristian]

They don't make them like they used to....

[mercenarieboy]

Isnt there a mod for fs2 that plays through the fs1 story :/ I think it for fs open

[IntegraFilms]

@mercenarieboy Yeah but your still playing FS2... Descent FreeSpace is a DIFFERENT game, the engine plays completely differently.... fore example, Missiles are basicly useless in FS1 and FS2 DOES NOT emulate FS1 well. It just makes it prettier thats all.

[Chirostenotes]

@IntegraFilms Didn't the creators say they only made minor modifications to the engine when making FS2?

[IntegraFilms]

@Chirostenotes minor changes they are not... the ships are a different format, the ai and weapons all behave differently... its an upgraded game yes but it is still like comparing windows 98 to windows 95

[DroehnIng]

This sound when a Dragon get's shut down remembers me of those Droids from StarWars ^^

[zerg1125]

y no shealds?

[DroehnIng]

@zerg1125 Because this mission takes place in "hyperspace" or whatever it was called ... can't remember ^^

[Chirostenotes]

@DroehnIng Subspace.

[GamingLeeLee]

hmm suppose it made sense to end it like this but as endings go it was a bit of an anti climax ...

[wassup986]

The pres of Volition, Mike Kulas, lives on my street.

[IntegraFilms]

@wassup986 tell him, his fans want freespace :P

[Skullteen]

@IntegraFilms I love Freespace so much I want it to stay as it is, I wouldn't be against a Freespace 3 (even though the space combat simulator genre is virtually dead, unfortunately) but I would prefer that there wasn't a Freespace 3. Best game ever was FS1 (yes, I liked FS1 better than FS2).

[IntegraFilms]

@Skullteen Yes, Volition would have huge boots to fill to make a better space sim then FS2_Open

[TheTuninator]

@wassup986 -TELL HIM WE WANT MORE FREESPACE!

[adamant356]

@TheTuninator I never knew you were a FreeSpace fan :P

[Chirostenotes]

@wassup986 He just retired as president.

[wassup986]

@Chirostenotes Yah, I know, but he made this amazing game.

[Tenom1]

Next time bring an avenger!

[Nautilus1972]

These games were awesome. In the first one I don't think I did anything for two weeks other than work, sleep, and fly missions.

[Schinzou]

This game was one of the BEST games I've ever played! Maybe the BEST!

[xz569]

mmm left the cap ship and just told to go for broke and leave everything else behind, burning towards the jump node as more and more shivan fighters come after, secondary protocol is in effect, beta shore the lines must get to primary, life dont matter time does.. Burn in, get to the reactors, sacriface the vesudan and terrans to get there..it must not reach Sol..rest is history.. Damn that was a good game and so was the second, miss the era and the games :)

[jmbrosendo]

this and the sequel were such great games. they made you stress and sweat so much, without any cheesiness.

[gtvapsamtik]

why o why VOILATION not made FS3

[IntegraFilms]

@gtvapsamtik theres a dispute over the rights, between interplay and volition, since volition is now signed with THQ, they legally cannot make a FS3... Sorry, were screwed out of FS3 basicly.

[Mandorain]

this is just like tachyon

[miatageekscott]

I had these games a few years ago, I am currently downloading the torrents for the ISO's as we speak. I am going to use them with Virtual Box and Windows XP

[supremeon1]

very very nice... it brings me back sweet memories from my childhood, when i was playing this game ... :) thanks a lot for posting !!!!

[drag00re]

Oh god. Every bit of sound effect in these game ...

a master piece that made my childhood

[PINGASFIST]

God damn these games undersold so badly, they were awesome...

[IntegraFilms]

@PINGASFIST you can always download the open source version of freespace at hard-light . net :)

[RumPralinka]

I always took Ursa to this mission and blew Lucifer myself :)

[BrutexxForce]

Hey Whats the Newest Game Like this?? Are there Any Online games In this type of Format. Like World of Warcraft, but with this type of Game?

[Usul573]

@BrutexxForce

Eve Online kinda?

[mkoo]

You know they copied this on Stargate Atlantis third season premiere

[IntegraFilms]

It was set hard actually, this mission is not difficult, as no one has shields... and the shivans are flying light fighters.

[HellHunterCombine]

Insert CD lol.

[ComradeCommissar17]

This mission was hard because you loose shields and if your damaged before it you don't repair, after playing depending on shields you have to go back with no shields

[Reaper120787]

Bisl ark die Raketen in zweier los zu schicken.. bei der trefferrahte solltest du dich nicht wundern das dein Waffenlager immer leer ist xD!! Du bist doch ein Jäger dann jag doch die gegnerischen Jager auch.. am besten macht man das von hinten xD. wo die raketen auch treffen xD

[dmed312]

This is clearly on easy mode. You didn't lose a single guy

[vitalalive69]

The easiest way is to completely destroy the engines of the lucifer, kill all fighters and then go for the reactors. Once the engines are destroyed the Lucifer cannot move thus not escape the wormhole leaving you with all the time on earth to finish off your task

[bonetmax]

Is the subspace?

[tokmudin3394]

this mission is easy,,

use URSA change secondary to HARBINGER

the reactor hull decrease like water

haha

[buokopter]

URSA > LUCIFER. HE HE HE

[jumpchair89x]

this game never gets old

[Yora21]

This always gets me dizzy. The blue whirls are no reference to acutal movement at all.

[pyrotek7x7]

GREATEST BOSS BATTLE EVER.

I want to pull this out and play it again, now...

[aksel1231]

Being inside subspace is weird you fell like your moving backwards or not even moving

[aksel1231]

Every time i play this part i have everyone in Ursa and Medusa Bombers loaded with my favourite Loadout

[rareram]

This game is great... but i remember this being harder... lol maybe i was on a harder level. lol.

Great game, totally alien bad guys, its wonderful.

[Chavalierdeon]

this games is after or before freespace2?

[Spam205]

It's before Freesoace 2, its the origonal freespace. the Lucifer was only attackable in the last mission

[Isengardelfo]

Before.

[darkblaze176]

damn i hate the shivan dragons!

[kakalunga]

They take some skill to kill, but they can be defeated. If not for them, the Shivans would be too easy for me.

[Quagmire88]

this was game was AMAZING!!

[Usul573]

It really really got to me deep, most games just feel like some basic thing that you know people made just for fun, but this game starts out one way, then changes, and you really feel like we're losing ground and our entire race is at risk, every second reminds you of that.

Some of the sorrowful music and beautiful cutscenes just fascinated me.

Someone needs to put some BSG music to a montage or something.

Just $6 for FS1+Expansion on good old games, I'm going to have to get it again.

[NecrossKnight]

I think the Prometheus cannon would been more effective in Good Luck. Less energy drain and I'm sure it does more hull damage.

[IntegraFilms]

Nope, Banshee is the same weapon as the Kayser in FreeSpace2, and its better... yes more drain but its more powerful.

[fifaplayer10]

you can set your missles to dual-firing mode in this game?

[cutechocobos]

similar to tachyon the fringe O.o

tachyon in my opinion is more fun :)

[XeeTaah]

my afterburners don`t work, I tryed everything and I don`t understand :( I have an USB Microsoft Joystick. Sidewinder without forcefeedback. I wanna play again

[IntegraFilms]

Go into options and set your controls

[XeeTaah]

I did, I also changed the key but nothing happend :( But Im glad its still possible to complete both games without them. Thanks for the tip.

[jhzh]

set compatibility to win98

[gweegwee3]

i have the same issue, its really weird. The best i can tell you, and ive just leanred of this myself so i dont know if itll work, is to go to add/remove, and delete it, then dl windows installation cleanup utility (its free) and remove it there as well (do this step first actually as it may not show up if you remove it through add/remove) then try to reinstall.

Idunno if itll work or not but once i get back to my desktop im trying it out.

[MGMan37]

It may be just me, but I think the final FS1 mission was kindof a let-down.

From playing FS2 first, I was of the opinion that the Lucifer was destroyed by destroying the Sol Jump Node just as the Lucifer was entering.

I don't know, the 5 weak point thing kindof makes the Lucifer seam much weaker than it really was. That all that was needed to kill it was a squad of fighters.

[DaCidre]

If you played it all the way to the final mission you wouldn't feel that way. The Lucifier was practically invunerable to any kind of attack in normal space due to its shields.

And only a last minute translation from text written by an extincted race led to the discovery that the Lucifier's shields cannot be used in subspace.

[MGMan37]

True, but it's still as if "Oh yeah, here's a last minute flaw we just found that we didn't think of earlier"

The game before this, however, was completely amazing. I honestly don't know how else the last mission could have been pulled off. I was still hoping for something more.

[DaCidre]

Think I know what you mean. Well it's kind of similar to the "Oh we discovered an exhaust port that's 2meters wide on the enemy's weapon of death before it arrives to blow us up... Good luck chaps you have 10 mins"

Still it was kind of hard for me to play back then and served well as a final mission.

Well at least it's better then a last mission where you defend convoys till the system goes supernova and you could just sit at the jump node waiting to get out

Still both were epic games

[gtfapolo]

elleest trop fastoche cette missions

[Aturayd]

I got vertigo from playing this mission

[Usul573]

I took out the Lucifer, and was like

YES

YES TAKE THAT!!!!!

[azile0]

It's amazing how much FS2 improved upon FS1 in just a single year. The Hard-Light Production takes it even further.

And I hate to dash your hopes, but there won't be a FS3 for a very long time, if at all. The original team has dispersed. You would need to round up all of those guys again to get a half-decent game. Not to mention paying them all.

[dodgedurango12345678]

wow this takes me back i ussed to spend hours on this game i wish they would come out with a new one i would buy it in a heart beat i love this game

[myear23]

This was such a great game! I remember spending hours playing it.

[coopisgod13]

this level is the easiest

you can cheat and pass on this level

make yourself invunerable

give yourself the shivian super lasers

get rid of all your wingmen

disable the lucifer (it cant warp out then)

then just get the 300 manticore kills

then destroy the lucifer

simple

[Ascensiam]

But it's way funnier to do it the honest way.

[alexybob11111]

Did you honestly take the first 3 minutes to destroy one fighter?

[F3nyx]

he spent them flying toward the lucifer moron

[cayce81]

Why does everyone think this mission is so hard? It's nothing compared to clash of the titans! It took months for me to beat that level! I beat this on the first try.

[mikeengelen]

Took me ages to beat the Lucifer... I had a squad of heavy Ursa ships, If I recall... that did the trick...

Calling for assistance was useless... I had to personally destroy the reactors really fast... though they provided good cover...

[IntegraFilms]

They do their job if you order them, its just about as fast to do it yourself.

[mikeengelen]

Yeap. But I only got to destroy the Lucifer that way =D. Mmmm I don't recall very well: It seems that by default a whole wing is formed by heavy bomber ships, but I know I had to customize the whole 4 wings.

After seeing this I got and installed the game again. But the briefing voices aren't working. And of course no movies. What could be a solution?

[Libertford]

I would order them to do the reactors from the rear to the front and I would start from the front to the rear meeting with them in the middle and I ordered all fighters(minus the bombers) to engage the enemy but ignore the Lucifer... because really what can they do against the Lucifer? lmao

[Denirion]

what game is this cause its not freespace 2

[shadowknight1701]

this is freespace 1: the great war

[henryhenriquez]

this mission was hard apart from the no shielding and i had almost no missiles at all

[IntegraFilms]

Missiles are pretty useless in the first FreeSpace.

[henryhenriquez]

ye pretty mucht but they give me confidence

[demonicfork]

Um. wow. I beat this mission in two trys. on hard dificulty. at age five.

IO mean not degrading anything i love the game and the vid is good. just. some people took a month? Wtf?

[IntegraFilms]

I beat it my first try.

[JazTony]

It took me at least 20 times until I found out that you just have to send every of the 4 bombers to a different target, and then concentrate all firepower on the 5th reactor. It seemed to be pretty much impossible any other way.

[IntegraFilms]

you have plenty of time to order them to do one at a time, or do it yourself.

[dodgedurango12345678]

aww i hated this mission it took me like a week to beat it

[Drarkhan]

Hmm, but you loaded the mission from the tech room, you should post the mission after you complete the first half.

[extremestunt99]

thx

[extremestunt99]

[jkuser22497]

I WANT THIS GAME! But i am from Argentina, and can't buy a CD, there aren't copies of this game in the whole country, so please, if you know where to download it, please... the 2 Cds, tell me... THANKS!!! THAAANKKKSSS!!

[sch7les]

You can download Freespace 1, Freespace 2, and the Source Code Project (a mod which highly improves the graphics of freespace 2) all for free. Just go to google, and type in "Freespace Hard Light Forums."

[IgWannA2]

oh, the memories!

[TotallyAnnihilated]

You made it this far to the end. I'm impressed. I also finished what I've started years ago - eliminate the Lucifer and make the Shivans pay for every drop of Terran and Vasudan blood they spill.

[sulaiman51]

oh yeah...!!!!!
