Comments
Good, long campaign, but gets unrealistic when you begin to blow up moons. It also seems that the GTA/EA is the only faction who's actually evolving, the rest stick with outdated, FreeSpace 1-era ships. Despite the lack of mods and realism, it's definitely worth a download.
S:AH is without any doubt one of the best campaigns in circulation. It's long and original enough to ignore some of its drawbacks, like the lack of a notable technological development in the ranks of the enemy.
New INFA campaigns will be focused on a similar plot but even after their release S:AH is going to remain one of the must have of any true FreeSpace fan. --- Mobius

The upgrade really improves the campaigns in terms of graphics. The mission files are being revamped by the FSCRP and will be released soon.
