Great ships, great missions, i liked the difficulty(i play on medium).  Even having to play 2 of the missions maybe 5+ times each was fun, because the missions were interesting.  TBP was my favorite mod but my like for the freespace story and your continuation of it makes this my favorite mod so far.

My only complaint is that there wasn't more missions.  

Also it's cool to open fred and see all those ships that weren't even used in this chapter.  

I hope people start making missions.

Excellent use of music, especially in the mission where you plow through the EA fleet to get the Nemesis.

I think that misssion should've been a two-parter though, because I'd get the fleet through and get vaporised by one of the Nemeis' beams.  (It was kinda fun though, seeing that glow and thinking "Oh my GOD! Runawayrunawayrunaway BOOOOM!")

its the sounds.  the sounds are what instantly drew me into the game, when i started that first mission and heard the Subach HL-12 laser sound, i was happy.  I loved the exlposions, both the anis and the sounds.  Also, i recognized a lot of sounds from other places, like one of the explosions was a "common" explosion sound for games, but sounded great in freespace.  I also noticed that the Ancient fighter flyby sound was familiar... it sounded like a federation ship flying by the camera after the borg cube is destroyed in First Contact, and the ancient bomber flyby was just  a slowed down version of the fighter flyby.  
Also the beamsounds.  I had always wondered if FS2 beams in fast motion would sound nice, i thought that they'd sound stupid ingame, but i didnt even notice that the EA's beams were speeded up BGreens and such until i listened to them when i wasn't playing the game.  also, the ancient's juggernaught Blue Beams coupled with the Fast Forward SGreen sound is great.  electric blue beam. :nod:


Some of the explosion sounds are ripped from Doom as well.

Actually a lot of games, movies and TV programmes rip sounds from each other. There's an anime I watch where the bots fire beam rifles that sound exactly the same as the Star Wars blasters. We merely carried on the cycle. :)

Many TV shows use the boss spawner flame sound from Doom.

Also, the Subach HL-12 sound is the level 1 laser sound from Descent II.

The original had 120, I had to cut it as I couldn't convert a ship with that many turrets at the time.

Pitty I didn't have the time to redo it, would remap it a bit as well.

Many everthings use the boss spawner flame some from doom.... like the fire shooter thing in star fox adventures.

it's kinda funny when you are watching this new movie with all these great sounds... and suddenly you hear an explosion or monster roar from doom... this old old game.  hah :ha:

This mod's quality was so high that if it had voice acting it could be released as an official expansion and get rave reviews.  That said, the last Earth mission was just too hard.  I had to play it on Very Easy and I still almost gave up.  There's extremely challenging (Bear Baiting) and then there's soul crushing, which is what this was.  I understand that it was the climax of the EA war, but it should have been split up in two or three so that it doesn't take 30 minutes just to fail again.
