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 It also seems that the GTA/EA is the only faction who's actually evolving, the rest stick with outdated, FreeSpace 1-era ships.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 will surely remain one of the must have campaigns all true FreeSpace fan should have. --- 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. Voice acting has also been considered as a valid option.
