Indeed I-War is too much flying around and then you die and you need to start again that mission...

Isn't that what the space combat is all about?
Yes, I-War 2... I am now stuck in it, and a bit bored in it too. The game is full of flying around, trying to do some stupid trick you don't know you should do. However, doing something else than just "fly there, kill all" is fun.

I agree that a game with more than kill everything is interesting but I-war really needs a time compression option for when nothing happens.

I got bored of the game after I got to a mission I couldn`t beat. After trying the mission 3 times I actually took note of the statistics

Time from enemies arrival to mission failure - 40 seconds
Time spent flying through L-points and docking with unguarded cargo to get to the area where enemy ships arrive - 9 MINUTES!

Games where you do other things are fine but when those other things are picking up a magazine and ignoring the game for minutes at a time then something needs to be done about the gameplay.

Bosch, so I guess the H stands for Hieronymus. If you have seen some paintings of Hieronymus Bosch you know where are the similarities with Admiral Boschs obsession of the shivans.
Another example is Admiral Khafre, Khafre was a king in the ancient egypt.

The Cap Ships in I-War 2 are tiny, actually. I don't fly past them at huge speeds, as I will not be able to hit them with a nice, green Whitestar beam (I use a B5 mod), instead, I activate the pursuit autopilot when I am alongside it.. When I turn on external view, the enemy cap ship doesn't seem much bigger than my own, and before you say it, the Whitestar is tiny - it replaces the command section and is no bigger than the patcom (probably slightly smaller).
What mission is this wait time on? I can't remember. Jog my memory, and then I'll probably agree with you (those statistics look awful).

Looking at the data that you just gave me, karajorma, I'll turn my viewpoint round and agree with you. That is big, about the same size or bigger than a modern aircraft carrier, which is huge. The patcom in I-War 2 is 88m long, which is a lot bigger than any FS2 ship, I agree.
There is a small (compared with the VW Archives) mod database available at http://www.i-war2.com/wetwired. I don't know where the link to that is on the I-War 2 website, I saw that address somewhere else (I don't remember). Your save mod is there.
Finally, have you patched I-War 2 up to max health? They probably fix major bugs and it is a shame that a great game is spoiled by bugs (I think that the newest version is F14.6).
