Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
How many times do we have to play BWO to experience all the missions?

You should be able to do it with two playthroughs.

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
Can you release the campaign first and then release the voices later on as an optional patch and we can use voice synthesis in the meantime? That way we can get the campaign out sooner.
Its a possibility.  Given the size of the campaign and the number of lines of dialogue a whole other team would be needed to make the voice parts work.

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
I saw somewhere in the BWO forum that the campaign contained 48 missions, 34 of which you will see each time through and 4 secret ones.  Unless my math is wrong, 34 + 4 = 38.  What are the other 10 missions?  Are they part of the branching in the campaign?

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Actually a correction:
48 missions total, only 32 are playable in each playthrough. (including playing the secret missions)

Question:

Which SCP came first? The SCP? Or the SCP?

You should be able...? Well, we can always extract the missions, change their name and play them with the simulator :)

The Sol Coalition of Planets came before the Source Code Project.

Do the SCP use GW-era craft, like the Leviathan?


And why does the Golgotha only have 200k hitpoints? Guess I'm too used to having supercaps with hitpoints over 400k...

What's the Babel Effect (campaign)?

The Golgotha is more of a specialized tool and less of a general weapon... i.e. It's a can opener, not a swiss army knife. (I think)

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
If the Golgotha is a specialized tool, why does it need: 6 beams, 4 AAAfs, 18 Blobs, 8 Flak guns?

The SCP uses FS1 era ships in a similar capacity to the GTVA. Some of the ships have been more heavily refitted though.

You answered your own question. Having supercaps and uberships does not necessarily mean good game design.

'nother EDIT:
What's the Babel Effect (campaign)?

A project of mine from quite a few years back, some plot elements of which appear in some sections of BWO.

Does Admiral Kepler have a big part in BWO?;)

Admiral Kepler's office refuses to discuss the degree of involvement that the good Admiral may or may not have with a supposed GTVI SOC squadron called "Blackwater" and their operations. Not that this squadron actually exists, it's purely rumor and speculation from the media.

What does SMC stand for? Sol Military?

And where can I get the Babel Effect? The only place I've seen it was on FreeSpace Watch.
