Hey,
For all those arguing about Neptune, viable resources, military bases and the rest, play the original Descent. Yes, plain old Descent, for DOS. The PTMC has bases on every planet and as we know it is also contracted for government weapons research. Pick up a few ideas. Remember, Descent: Freespace- The Great War is set in the Descent universe. (Could we fly Pyros in this mod? Pleeease?)

The freespace and descent universes are completely different the obvious fact of this is the severe differences in technology.

Descent: Freespace god its name due to the fact that:
A) Interplay owned the license to the descent name.
B) Volition itself is comprised mainly of ex parallax employees

I played the original Descent, but things ambush you from around corners and I lost my nerve.

I'm positive that the movie clips in FS1 show three jump nodes in the sol system. This would mean that Sol would at least have access to two other systems allowing them to colonize and gather resources to fuel their army. [/B]

If would be perfectly possible for Earth to improve this method and make lots of materials very easily and quickly
