Hey everybody! It's been a really long time! So I decided to try out Squadrons because it was on sale, and I started thinking about this project and came by to see how it was doing. As the title says, Holy Crap! This is really impressive! :D I've been playing through this for the last couple of weeks when I have some spare time, and they really don't make games like this anymore. If you had told me in in the early 2000s that this would still be going 20 years later I'd be pretty skeptical. It's nice to be proven wrong.

Anyway, I wanted to say congrats to the team members and everybody for keeping this going. Also, if somebody wants to redo the Interdictor, you have my blessing ;)

I'm good! Unfortunately I'm too busy with grownup stuff (basement remodel) to get back into opt building, which is why somebody else should take that on :D

It really has been a long time. Amazing to see the gang getting back together.

Hey there Flavid, good to see another old face.

If you fancy flying with some old fogies in Squadrons (like us) head over to Renegadewing.com, some of the old clubs have been resurrected!

I remember your old website from the 90s also had an Enforcer class cruiser available for download. Do you or anyone still have this for download?

Agreed!... Just installed this gem after many yrs, surprised i still had cd..followed all the info to get this running and i'm super impressed, it's like a whole new game. Appreciate all the hard work everyone's put into this.
Always thought this was one of the best SW game/sims out there, but to no avail they never came out with anything else except for maybe the "SW Squadrons" release, tho it lacks the in depth mission campaigns like XWA.....Good job on all the mods/tweaks/gfx nonetheless!
