Descent: Freespace Battle Pack
Description
The heartless Shivans emerged through subspace near Earth, harboring technology light years ahead of anything seen before. They made no attempt to communicate. They did not respond to your heralds. They simply attacked and destroyed everything in their path.
As a pilot for the Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA) you are no stranger to war. But when racing through space to engage your new enemy for the first time, you sense something different. Suddenly, darkness blankets your craft. Your stomach sinks as your eyes pan across the Shivan flagship's massive body. Then it begins. Swarms of fighters pour from the belly of the flagship and scream towards you. You are about to discover everything you thought you knew about space combat just changed.
This is the beginning of The Great War.

Oh yes, baby.
This made a huge impact when it came out back in the days. The story was really exciting, and the dogfights intense. And these huge battleships which you could blow to pieces with a couple bombing runs.... so satisfying. And even today, the graphics are somewhat okay. Only surpassed by Freespace 2.

Freezes Win11 all compatibility settings
This game freezes my Win 11 (just after it resizes and everything looks huge). After six ctrl-alt-del restarts, and five different compatibility tries (from Win 95 to Win 8) I'm giving up. Pity, but I'm quite happy with Tachyon right now, which worked right outta the box, so cbb with this game. Maybe one day I'll read this game's forums, there's a lot of mods etc. for the FS games, FS2 in particular. 2 stars (should be 1 star really) for the possiblity that fans can make this work, looks good in the pics.
