Freespace 1 and 2 were such staples of my Childhood. And to this day no other Alien species elicits the sense of fear that I feel when I encounter the Shivans. Volition did such a great job creating them. They are an enemy that gives you the sense of no matter what you do you cant kill them all, you cant stop all of them. And worse even when you feel like finally you got a leg up on them, it all went away as they introduce something much worse. They just dont make games like they used to.

I remember playing Freespace 1 back in 1998 and encountering Shivans for the first time, I almost shit my pants. Not to mention assignment where you have to scan Shivan containers without shields or any effective weapons against their fighters. Atmosphere and that awesome music were so immersive. I really appreciate how much passion and effort Volition put into development.

It's actually much higher then that. A group of players a few years ago took all the battles, affected worlds and systems and estimated the total cost of both Shivan Wars in terms of organic lives. They assumed Vasudans and Terrans have similar individual resource needs as real life people and accounted for the resources of the GTVA, likely population distribution, etc. And came back with a figure approaching 50 billion.

What makes the Lucifer so unique is. That she is the only Shivan capital ship to have shields that can only be penetrated by ion beam cannons. Therefore, in the Great, all weapons were useless against the Lucifer. No other Shivan battleship, otherwise owns shields. Only one mystery was never revealed. Where the Shivans come from or, to put it better, where they build their ships and such. It is clear that the Shivans have no homeworld. Because thanks to Blue Planet you learn a lot about them in the last mission and that they are half as old as the Galaxy itself. What does that mean they have to have a mobile city like high charity in Halo. Would make the most sense to me!

Kind of a narrow-minded way of looking at it. A nuclear device can be held in a suitcase and still devastate a city. I figure the beam is so huge for 1 or all of 3 reasons. #1- Atmospheric lensing, #2- If it's laser based, lasers do "fan out" over time, and #3 The sheer energy behind it; for instance, a paint chip from a previous shuttle mission could take out the Space Shuttle if it was traveling in the opposite direction in orbit just due to the amount of velocity difference.

About year ago, Interplay announced that it is going to sell all of it's IP's, over 70 games in total and close up shop for good. I've not been following where IP of freespace went.
