Re: RELEASE - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
Oops...

I messed around with the cheats in Blue Planet and found a weapon called "Fighter Beam". Pretty interesting weapon, actually, because it's hard to aim with it, but pierces shields.

It's like shooting an enemy four klicks away with a long pin. :rolleyes:

Well, all beams are like that unless you add +Range to the Beam Info.

Not really. Hitting someone 10 kicks away with an SRed on a GTF Hercules is like hitting them with an MRT pillar.

And with a BFRed it's like hitting them with the MRT itself?

Re: RELEASE - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
My jaw just unhinged from the rest of my skull, crashing through two floors of my house trailing blood and tendon before creating a smoking crater in my basement.

Why? Because Blue Planet is the best campaign I've ever played. Ever (well, except for maybe Derelict...but that's beside the point). The cutscenes were fantastic. The ship designs were aesthetically pleasing and there were moments where I truly wondered "Holy crap...if that's happened, where's the story going to go from here?" BP is one of the few campaigns that successfully adds an element of tension and emotion to the story.

Darius, me love you long time.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Oh, that was you, was it? I am SO not paying my rent today.

But anyhow, yeah, BP rulez.

:lol:

I'm now hearing the old menu music, and it still sounds good. However, I think Darius' first remix of Joshua II is a better choice.

Re: RELEASE - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
ABSOLUTELY AWSOME!!!

I finished it (it was a miracle) and I was surprised with how good the storyline was.

The mission design was also  ABSOLUTELY AWSOME!!!  as well as the ship - weapon loadouts.


Fantastic work!  :cool:

Aha! I recently patented the phrase "BP had good storyline" and all variations thereof and thereupon, so you owe me a thousand rupees!

Re: RELEASE - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
Blue Planet does justice to the Ancient ships of Inferno Release 1 since they were never used in the campaign.

And gave them an interesting mapping theme too.

Indeed. I didn't recognise them the first time. It's probably because Darius forgot to change their manufacturer that I realised that they are Ancient ships from INFR1.

Re: RELEASE - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
A lot of them fit the "crystalline" theme that I was looking for with those ships, which was an added bonus.

Hoo boy...SteveO's been giving me some pretty kickass weapon models and effects to play around with. It's improved the potential gameplay fun of the Earth side no end. :nod:

This Earth side is looking to be a whole lot of fun to play as.

When you say "Earth side", Darius, do you mean "War in Heaven"? I look forward to it. :nod:

Re: RELEASE - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
MediaVPs 3.6.10 beta makes everything look so sexy.

I also second the notion that War in Heaven is going to rock. It'll be interesting to see if one planet can stand up to the 20+ of the GTVA...
