To be fair, between subspace and that stupid nebula, I'll take subspace every time. At least in subspace I can see.

And my sensors aren't constantly jiggling. Okay, that was just the one mission, but still.

I associate subspace missions with:

that mission in SGWP2 in which the player must debeam four Sathanas juggernauts whilst hurtling through a subspace tunnel
cargo container assault squad from DEM

On second thought, let's not go into subspace...it's a silly place.

Transcend is the cure for what ails you.

Okay, so here's what I learned in six hours of dicking around in FRED:

- There isn't a high-res model for the Demon. Bummer; that ship is so underutilized.

- Replacing all the fusion mortars on a Hatshepsut with Helios torpedo launchers is an amazing idea.

- Forty Ursas actually can't take out a Sathanas, but they look pretty awesome not doing so.

- MediaVP subspace is full of weird yellow fog.

- MediaVP subspace is not actually full of weird yellow fog.

- It's a good idea to make sure you didn't accidentally put a nebula in your level before you start questioning people's design choices.

- Putting loads of cap ships in subspace doesn't work, because if you have a dozen corvettes and destroyers sitting there slugging it out, you start to focus on them and you lose the effect of movement. One or two cap ships and a lot of fighters is probably ideal.

- A Vasudan destroyer can easily take out two Molochs.

- A Vasudan destroyer and two Sobeks can easily take out two Molochs, a Demon and four Cains, if the Demon is facing the destroyer directly.

- A Vasudan destroyer and two Sobeks can take out two Molochs, a Demon and four Cains with some difficulty if the Demon is broadsiding, but only if you take out the main beam cannon. Otherwise they get pulverized.

I had no idea you could nebula with the subspace skybox on... Hmmm. Subspace with blue nebula? Maybe not.

Reminds me of that bug(?) where nebula fog would stay on - produced some pretty cool looking results in conjunction with regular skyboxes/backgrounds.
