Great game, but not functional here

Absolutely loved this game back in the day, so I was excited to see it on GOG. Unfortunately, after installing, it prompted for the game disk, which I no longer have & no longer have a drive to run on my laptop. After loading & watching the opening video, the single player campaign wasn't available, which is what I was looking forward to playing, so got a refund. If GOG fixes this issue, I'll happily give it another go.

Great sense of humour

I love this game. It has an initially quite brutally unforgiving flight mechanic until you get used to it. Try flying your ship like a plane and you will get smashed to bits. Embrace Newtonian mechanics in space and you will be rewarded with some unique flying and combat experiences that are deeply satisfying. Also, the humour in the game is outstanding, and has raised more than a few smiles, and the odd hearty chuckle. I love it.

Freeform mode is awesome!

I've owned this game for several years, and never finished the game. In part, as some of the other reviewers have referred to, the difficulty. I simply use the game in freeform mode, in addition to some of the great tools I've downloaded from http://www.i-war2.com . I randomly choose where to go with a great tool called location finder plus, and I've added some key binds that allow me to be invulnerable. There's also a mod that allows you to destroy stations. It's loads of fun, and way ahead of its time.

Good Game let down by poor distribution

This was one of the first games purchased on GoG and I can't say I'm very impressed with the distribution effort by GoG. Just to play the game you have to fix/workaround 4 well known issues. 1. While they have disabled the CD check, they have left the drive check enabled. You you have to have a .ISO of something (doesn't matter what) mounted in windows , just so the single player campaign is available. There is a 3rd party disable available, if the workaround is too annoying. 2. Fix: The single player campaign or instant action will crash unless you delete/rename the resource/images/planets folder. This is a well known bug in the final official patch. GoG should have fixed this or at least warned owners of the need to fix it themselves. 3. Fix: The game is unable to save games, it will appear to do so, but you'll find that it didn't actually save. Potentially being very annoying depending on how far into the game you got before you realise. Fix: Create a folder called "Saves" in the base game folder. GoG should have either fixed this , or documented it fo owners to fix. 4. There is a know bug that affects progress in Wolf's Lair and a couple of other missions. These are well known and are due to bugs in the game code that affects most modern machines. Fix: There is a Community developed mod that fixes these issues. This should be documented so owners don't get halfway into the game only to get frustrated.
