That game kicked ass. Too bad the sequel sucked ass.

I tried playing it yesterday. Nearly impossible to play without a joystick, in my opinion. Would've been nice if you could control ship movement with the mouse, like in Freelancer.
Mouse support was included in early development releases of Starlancer if I recall correctly but was scrapped in the final build, It is possible to fly using the keyboard and win. Difficult but not impossible if blind fire capability is used.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Hey, nobody liked that 'movable base' idea anyway! And motorcycles and razor-armed alien tanks are t3h kewlz0r! And everything being orange makes it look like CYBERTRON! And having a build tree allowing you to build 'mortar bikes' before it allows you to build 'mortars' is clever and adds depth! And having units cost $5 more after changes, even if you stripped all the guns out adds flexibility!

BZ2 was amusing in multi, but not as anything more than a deathmatch game. :(
