BrothersoftEditor: Galactic Federation is a space combat simulation game, featuring battles that allow one hundred capital ships, fighters, and bombers to blast away and destroy each other at any one time. The game is built upon an in-house developed DirectX 9 engine that possesses a dynamic geometry damage model, allowing for spectacular ship destruction. Players will see DEBRIS fly off their enemies, weapon turrets explode, and ships cut into many tiny pieces. To accomplish this, players will be able to pilot over 20 types of fighters and bombers, and loadout with a plethora of different weapons from the available arsenal.

I see D1 has it in the links but the link is dead note the vid was posted on the 18 of sept so they may still be active.They also mention on youtube a new action rpg space game.

Also we would like to announce 'Alphans' new space action rpg built with same engine, that will feature 25 star systems each divided into sectors in which player can travel to explore and suppress enemy while collecting debris material to produce new superior components for his ships.Stay tuned for site announce and release dates.
Can't get the game to work with Vista maybe it needs a graphic card, all I get is dark screen and some music.

I will fix the link on my next update to remove the website and change download link. I have yet to try this one myself.

Played the demo, works fine on Windows 7. It was alright I guess. Sort of like Freespace, but obviously not as polished or playable. As best as I can figure, the controls are thusArrow Keys, MoveW - Increase SpeedS - Decrease speedQ - Roll LeftE - Roll RIghtSpace - FireI only played for a few minutes before getting blown away in my heavy fighter. Looks fun, but after looking to see how to register I saw the site was down. (you click a link.)Maybe someone else will enjoy!

Thanks IronHound, for a game that costs $20 it definitely needs to have more polish applied, yeah it was created in 2005 and if you buy the game you more than likely will get no support for any issues found since there is no dedicated website from the developer.

Bit strange that the post on you tube seems to indicate that there is an update to the game, inless it been reposted by some one else who just copied the tex of the old vid.

I thought it was a Freespace mod when I first looked at the vid.

Yes, I was pretty unimpressed as well. Like Pinback, I was startled with the similarities to Freespace. This game seems to only have cap ship fights (in that, you have two cap ships duking it out with a bunch of fighters.) TBH, it really isn't worth the price.You can get the entire Freespace series off of GOG.com for like $10-20. I'd spend my money there.

I got the game to work using Vista compatibility mode.
