Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
Shivan destroyers are serious business.
Spoiler:
Even though the Demon is already wounded and I gave the Orpheus 150k hitpoints, it wasn't uncommon for her to be at 30% or so by the time the battle's over. And before I decided to beam-lock dead ships, they'd often take each other out.
Weird; it was at 93% when I played it.  Granted, I've only given it one run through so far, and I also just happened to take out the correct beam cannon on the Demon before it jumped in. 

Edit:  This might have something to do with the fact that it comes in so late due to the initial blockade staying alive.  Speaking of, is there a reason why the Cains and Lilith have no weapons?   :wtf:

Corrupted Pilot?

They were VERY much alive when I played through

 
Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
Oh, they're alive; they're just not shooting.  Because they have no guns.  When I use the target weapons function, nothing happens.   :lol:

I saw them totally rape the Allied Blockade when I played  :lol:

 
Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
I'll try a different pilot, then.  As it stands, the allied blockade stays very much alive until the destroyer shows up and blows it out of space.

Good mission, but the Orion only showed up after the Demon had been killed off for me, making its dialogue slightly inappropriate.

Usually, the Demon destroys the blockade and the Orion shows up to clean house. If you take out the Demon's beams, then the blockade destroys the demon and the Orion never shows. Not once in several dozen test runs have I ever seen the Demon and the blockade destroy each other, so... congratulations. Have a cookie.

Is the download corrupted? StuffIt Expander is returning a "The file "/Users/administrator/Desktop/1235336627_tfh.rar" does not appear to be compressed or encoded.  It is advised  that you obtain further information about the contents of this file from the sender or provider of the file." error.

Confirmed with 7-Zip. The file seems to be corrupt already at the server side.

Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
Great, so I can't try re-downloading it. 

I'm still having the problem with the Cains and Lilith having no guns.  They show up and take the pounding without shooting back, because they have nothing to shoot with; it's kind of anticlimactic.

Every time I've downloaded it, it comes out just fine. I really have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it.

Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
It was fine when I downloaded it like...earlier this week.
Extracting with WinRAR (trial) worked fine.

Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
(so this is a colossal bump... )

It seems that the file isn't really a RAR, its an ACE file.  I needed to use WinACE (for Linux!) to open it. I may try re-uploading this somewhere as a .zip or .7z.

Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
just played it through, and i must admit, i really liked it overall, but there were few things i noticed.

-You can command capital ships in this mission, all except the Colossus... was that intentional?

-Pilots chatter really don't show any feelings of dread, fear... or face of defeat, could say a bit desperate... but still, it appears like they're having fun out there, while Shivans are about to extinct their race.

-Even if the music is interesting, i don't find it fitting to the mission.

And the things i really liked:

- Colossus! I am glad to see that it do not have a monkey on the captains chair, and acts like a newest, and most powerful warship in the fleet! More Colossus! Tactical thinking, about Sathy's frontal beams taken down... nice way.

-Warships withdraw when they are crippled.

Well, that is certainly a piece of a good work!

Re: RELEASE: Their Finest Hour 2.0
FYI - freespacemods.net doesn't seem to like me uploading a new version (octet/binary-stream not allowed  :wtf:) - so here's a .7z hosted at mediafire.
