I know they're in the games wishlist because I've already voted on them, but I was hoping we could get one or two of the the GOG team to give us an official reasoning.

I believe 3 was just released, so I wouldn't expect it to be here anytime soon.

well I'd buy the 2nd if it was here (if it's not too heavy for these chips)
any quick ratings of SW2? is it even better than the first?

There are some reviews on Steam. SW2 seemed to get pretty bad reviews, but 3 looks much better.

Star Wolves 3 on the other hand came out in 2010, and is fantastic. It takes everything you liked/loved in SW1 and improves it, as well as giving you tons of freedom to roam and explore (finding secrets/hidden caches is awesome), and to boot, there are several different story plotlines to follow, increasing the playabilty greatly. Not sure why GOG hasn't been able to work something out to bring it here yet, but hopefully they will in the near future. In the meantime, I just checked, and it is still available on Gamers Gate (if you want it DRM-free)...though you may want to wait for it to go on sale. That's where I picked it up.
As well, there are some great fan made mods for SW3 which greatly increases the play time as well. Just visit the Star Wolves Forum , and although the community there is not as active as it used to be, searching through the threads can usually yield answers to most questions you may have.

In these kind of games the branching story is very nice!

Would you be able to say if there were any actual code fixes made to GOG's version of SW2?
As other mentioned, there were some pretty serious technical issues with the original release - both the engine and storyline scripts.
Would love to replay this (game was great when it did work), but not keen on repeating the frustration with the broken version.
