On November 22, 2012, the ASW development team released Act II. The Ancient-Shivan War is a take on the grand conflict which forms such a large part of the the background of the FreeSpace universe. It is said to have a very different feel and atmosphere to most campaigns, and features new effects, interface, ships and more, making it essentially a total conversion rather than a 'mere' mod. The first act has also been updated for compatibility with FreeSpace_Open v3.6.14. (more...)
