True. I just wanted to explain to him that there are many possible explanations for people not buying from GOG.com apart from them being cheap bastards.

Ok, where were we? Ah, yes! Beautiful Arcadia. Who did the model?

[karajorma]

Let's not forget that there are people in the world whose internet connection will not allow them to download a multi-gigabyte game (which is what you're getting if you want FSO).

Since I play around with the video myself.

Also, please please please get 100k views, I wan't to see another awesome cutscene mission!

I'm trying!!!

[SirCumference]

Speaking of racking up views, does anyone know how YouTube goes about counting them? Do you have to watch a video from beginning to end, or will just starting it qualify?

I believe it's one view for every time you visit the web page.

[BlasterNT]

It's actually tied to your user account/IP, I think, so if you watch multiple times, it's still just one view. 

[SypheDMar]

Yup. What I've been doing is tweeting links to folks that might be interested.

You got extremely lucky with those Perseus, I haven't been able to get them to do that even once in all the times I've run the mission 

Haha! Agreed! That's exactly what they were set up to do, but sometimes the debris is not there or sometimes the fighters decide to do something else. It came together about once every 5 runs for me.

[BlasterNT]

Will the AI barrel roll like that on it's own?  It looks rather cool. 

[mormon_boy]

alpha1 do a barrel roll!

do you mean the one at about 3:03?

[BlasterNT]

Yeah.  That's probably the awesomest thing I've seen an AI fighter do in FreeSpace

They're scripted to roll in counter directions while engaging the bomber in centre-screen. They're initially positioned just behind the camera and pointed in the right direction. The rest of the manoeuvring is AI driven. Actually, I had not initially intended the debris to be there, but when I ran it the first time, it was in the shot and made the AI do some pathfinding. So, I tweaked the positioning to give it a better chance of turning out like that.

I've been wondering what kind of video to do next. Another trailer? Something a little longer with original voice acting?

[mormon_boy]

i say do another trailer and either
a. the do the same thing but with the freespace2 intro.
b. recreate the mass effect battle of the citadel(or other famous sci-fi battle mass effect is just the most recent) with freespace ships
c. an original free-for-all with fleets from the different mods duking it out

[wolfen]

As usual I find myself asking if there is anything better than Freespace, and again I find the answer without asking it here, the answer is..........................no there is nothing better than Freespace.
I don;t think its possible for you guys who make these mods and movie clips to do anything wrong either

FS1 Terrans assets (NTF) vs a small force of FS1 Vasudans assets followed by FS2 Vasudans assets (GTVA) vs the same FS1 Terrans - to showcase technological and visual changes since retail.
