Player Comments
The degree of thought, care, and polish put into ST:R is staggering. There is not a filler mission to be found anywhere in this campaign. The designers are amongst the most seasoned veterans of the Freespace community, and their attention to detail and nuance arguably exceeds that of the original Volition designers. In fact, Silent Threat Reborn represents the closest the community has ever seen to another Volition entry in the Freespace universe. It hews closely to the tried-and-true Freespace narrative structure, it explains all the major discrepancies between Freespace 1 and Freespace 2, and it even finds time to work in compatibility with Shrouding the Light. As if its narrative strengths weren't enough, the FREDding includes some real gems, including the blood-curdling He Who Rides the Tiger and Abandon Hope. Superb voice acting and a lovingly crafted bundle of easter eggs round out this magnum opus. ST:R is an exemplar of pure Freespace craft. And for goodness sake, listen to your wingmen!
