Allegiance has very low requirements generally (non-powerful computer, windows, and an internet connection), although due to improvements made by the [[development team]] they are ''slightly'' higher than the original specs from the 2000 release.


Start with the original system reqs, note that Allegiance has been improved since and reqs are a little higher.  Perhaps post recommended specs (optional) but mostly just make it clear how little you need to play Allegiance (non-powerful computer, windows, internet connection).  Mention .NET framework maybe.
Note that players have created high resolution textures you can use if you wish. See [[Where Can I Get Graphical Upgrades?|here]] for details.


Discuss Joystick here.  Point out that it isn't a requirement and that a lot prefer mouse over joystick.  Using a keyboard for flight is not recommended.
