- True, but never used inside the Single Player. I would change that section soon.
Pics?
- Perhaps someone w/ a scanner (or pic files of the box art) could beautify the article w/ scans/pics/eye candy? Especially the "inconsistencies" section? I could do it, but I haven't neither the box nor any digital reproductions. Selectah 05:00, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
- Uploaded the European Version of the Boxed FreeSpace 2 (named FreeSpacebox-1.jpg and FreeSpacebox-2.jpg.) Could someone verify that these two images work as thumbnails? I am getting a error displaying the thumbnail, but no problem when clicked on actual link. Nubbles 12:30, 11 June 2008 (CDT)
