:D

Also, after all the pilots of the UEF start ordering the pizzaz, the solaris would become a giant pizza delivery van! :D

They actually would make a great pizza delievery service since, much as I tried, Serkr's engines are invincible so you could always expect them to deliver on time.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Anyone else see the Mass Effect 3 trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51VNpCV_-dY) and get the impression that the Alliance is buying their interceptors from the UEF? Tragically it seems most of them haven't learned how to dodge anti-fighter beams yet.

What the...?
Why are the Reapers suddenly only using a single particle stream weapon coming out of their middle? Souvreign had one of those on each "claw"!
And if everyone there is dead, the building destroyed and the only things that move are all husks, why not just bombard the area from the air or orbit, rather than wasting your ground soldiers, who would be better used to protect the surviving civilians elsewhere.
God I hate it when trailers - games and movies too for that matter - try to look oh-so-cool so hard that it only ends up being stupid, even if they didn't throw logic out of the window/airlock, which of course they did.

And I think those fighters look more like miniature versions of the Normandy (the first one from ME1, which's look I like much more than the ME2 varient) than any UEF fighter.

Also, what exactly is the Medjai?

I couldn't find a wiki article on it, but I presume it's the emperor's personal guard or something?

Khonsu II reinstated the Medjai, a close-knit band of military leaders and admirals who reported directly to him.
It's from the article "the Rift" both in the Techroom and on the BP homepace under the fiction tab.

So more like a council of military learders than a royal guard.

Seeing as this is HLP, I'm guessing I'm not the only one here who paused the vid to get a better look at the spaceships. :D

UESD Nemesis, just for the crazy awesome mission where it and the Atreus keep nanojumping behind each other.

Please, don't let the secret project be some sort of super desty like "Oh, we're loosing, we just have ressources for hardly six month, but surprise, we build a super desty and are gonna kick some ass!"  :rolleyes:

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
There's very little we can say except to promise that the secret project will not cheapen the conflict or disconnect the resolution from the buildup.

Given all the :WORDS: spent on economic, social, strategic, and tactical thought in BP so far, it'd be kind of silly to reduce the conflict to 'big ship, bigger ship' antes.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
It's the Gorgon Cannon, and it came from Derelict. From the looks of it, there doesn't appear to be any concrete plans to put stuff like that into the mod. A few new ships, yeah, but a gigantic cannon, probably not.

Well, both have a really good anti-fighter coverage. The Chimera especially, with 7 AAAs and 5 STerPulses.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
So I replayed the first mission of WiH and something was off. The Leeuwenhoek was seven minutes off from the convoy when I was in the middle of the mission. Was that intentional and my memory was off, or is this a bug? I had to Shift > to make the time go by when I killed all the Tevs.

Just a hunch, but was its engine subsystem damaged?
