FreeSpace 2 Playthrough - TSM 103 A, B, and C.

Note: The first part of this video is me setting up the game and showing how to operate the settings menu. Near the end of all that, I show how to invert the 'Y' axis; something I don't do, but I think many people would *want* to do. If you think you might want to buy this game, it's worth seeing how that's done.

I figured I'd try making a game series, and since I now have a legal copy of Freespace 2 - and the engine, being open source, has been ported to Linux natively and greatly enhanced - I figured it would be the perfect game to play through for a video series.

Mouse and keyboard actions are recorded in the top left corner of the video, using 'keymon'. I thought the darker theme would look nice with FreeSpace 2, but it contrasts with the window border a bit too much, and that makes it hard to see the mouse clicks. I think for my next video, I'll use a different keymon theme.

This first video will only really show the first three 'Training Simulator Modules', but the next video will show some actual combat gameplay. I tried to play these TSMs as if I were afraid of being failed, so followed them to the letter.

I do a few things I, "haven't learned yet," but nothing to be terribly concerned about. I think the worst I do is use 'Q' (equalize shields) after I collide with some exploding drones, but my shields weren't damaged nearly enough to make it matter.
