Currently separated from my 'real' computer, I have revised an old modding experiment for Space Siege from 2008.
Someone recently requested to get some lacks of this mod fixed in the retail version - although I originially made this mod for the demo version. It took somer longer to care about it because ...Space Siege is not the most appealing game (*cough*).

Technically it was interesting to take a look into this game however. There is no flick (used) anymore, a lot of thwe GUI is realizwed by ActionScript/SWF, [aspect] dropped wiedely in partial exchange for a powerful [visual] component, (sadly) Granny/GR2 was used instead of ASP models - interesting however, from a DS modding perspective, was the extensive usage of 'fuel' request to collect any kind of data (I must try this out once with DS2).

 
It's a quite strange coincidence that just right now STEAM is selling Space Siege with a 75% discount until 4th January for 4.- $/€ 'only'.
Honestly, the really strange thing is that it seems to be sold for 15.- $/€ usually. :o


I actually kind of liked the game. The lack of flexibility and modding support really killed it in the end but I prefer it to DS3. Sure you could have different builds for your character but it doesn't have much effect on the game.

I did untank it and played around with the files as much I could but there's too many differences in internal structure between it and DS2 to really be useful for much.

With the ASP model files I really don't know of any other game other than DS1 or DS2 that used the format.

Steam is also selling DS1 and DS2 for 1.74 USD.
