Reason for the Mod
FSR is a mod that a personal friend of mine and I came up with since we like to compare stats, specs, weapons, ect. between the FreeSpace Universe and the Battlestar Galactica Universe. We did this for several months (YES, WE HAVE A LIFE!) and after doing this for so long, we thought, "Hey! Why don't we try to make a mod out of this?" We brainstormed what games would allow us to do that and the first game that came to mind was FreeSpace 2. Since then, we've been...working on and off, but we will get this done AND we may also release a CDF version of the mod shortly after. Either way, we feel this mod will be a mod worth adding into the next build of the FS Open Installer! -- NFSRacer, callsign "Cypher"
