Yeah...maybe the Abel should be pushed back a weeeee bit. It's hard enough to get that far in the mission on your early playthroughs.

Distance isn't a factor with the Abel, it's time. The main beams are locked up until ~60 secs after Abel jumps in. Easy enough to change at what point the main beams fire, and can link it to difficulty as well to give players a bit more room to breathe.

 
Re: Suggestions for the Blue Planet VA Re-Release (polish + bugfixes)
In my opinion, the only thing that needs to be fixed on that mission are the last 5 minutes where nothing happens. At all. -.- Other than that, that mission is perfect. It's hell, but perfect.
As a more general suggestion, I'd like some breathing room during some of the missions. Especially for dialogue. Now I can't remember exactly during which  missions but I do remember having a lot of dialogue going on during intense fights and having to press F4 to stop and read the messages. This surely isn't such a big deal, but having a few seconds for you and you wingmen to speak shouldn't hurt much. I think.
Btw, I just finished this campaign and I loved it. It's awesome.

Re: Suggestions for the Blue Planet VA Re-Release (polish + bugfixes)
Oh, I just had an idea... what if the Abel weren't directly behind the Temeraire? I'm not sure if there's any dialog that mentions its position, but as long as there isn't, changing it slightly wouldn't break the voice-acting job. Maybe some nasty 'Jaws' maneuver, i.e. coming up at an angle from below... Something so the distance from the Temeraire might be about the same, but the distance from the player wouldn't be so bad.

Yeah, no. Not an Inferno tradition so far as I know, nothing you can take credit for. It might be a case of parallel evolution.

It is an Inferno tradition, though (no attempt to have any kind of particular credit in this claim). There are no nebulae in INF's Sol backgrounds since, well, the very beginning of the project.  :pimp:

which isn't even canon.

In the last cutscene of FS1 it's possible to see blue nebulae when the spacecraft that destroyed the Lucifer emerged from the node. Those nebulae are not prominent in the cutscene, but they can still be seen. :nod:

Wow, funny, you just contradicted yourself and proved it is apparently canon.

What I meant is that Inferno's tradition of refusing to use nebulae in Sol is not canon because :v: made use of such nebulae in FS1's Endgame cutscene. :)

Can I get a look at it? Could be useful/cool.

You can find screenshots on ModDB. :)

Nice of you to take a moment to point out why your Sol campaign is better, though. You're a prick.

I wasn't. Adding nebulae improves a background, and your choice of using nebulae is well praised. ;)

It's be nice, IMO, to merge the features (nebulae + dedicated starfield).  :nod:

Polish, as in polishing a rock. Not Polish as in the language.

There's one without all the guns and stuff.

 
Re: Suggestions for the Blue Planet VA Re-Release (polish + bugfixes)
When it comes to polish, What about the Stars in the mission where you first encounter the Vishnans? I remember the issue with the line. I know i'm being very vague, but its as best i can describe it atm.

Well, technically the mission you first encounter the Vishnuans is when you're going to find the Sanctuary in that damn nebula. One of them practically rams you. But if you mean the mission to actually follow them around, yeah. That background is rather hard to see the interface in.

This tiopic is for reporting of all bugs / gameplay hacks and or irregularities.

Those that i can think of are..

The mission where Bei nicks a Spacesuit and sees the sacred keeper for the first time.. You are able to jump out. (Theres no debrief for that scenario)

Sometimes it's just my fighter flight on the other side of the sol node (final mission) and the Renjian.

Expect updates as i replay the campaign..

That one should have been fixed in the latest release. If it's still happening, we need to know.

Dekker probably downloaded the campaign well before that fix was introduced.
