Well, more like 7, since, you know, Sol's had 50 years to colonize.

[mr.WHO]

Well, more like 2 and ****load of moons (with one - Titan - or two - Ganymedes- larger than Mars) and tiny planets (Pluto and beyond), but yeah Sol had a time to fully develop every available inch of space plus full scale Gas Giant ( counting 4 of them) gas mining (something with GTVA had a problem even in Fs2 till they find shivan nebula)

while GTVA would primary colonize Habitable Condition one planets which would be quite rare (one or two per system), while moons and non-breathable planets would have almost none infrastructure exept a few outposts.


We can safely assume that Earth-Moon as most populated and developed planets could outproduce 3 or even 4 GTVA core planets, Mars propably would count as 2, combine efford of all moons of all gas giants would give us 4 or even 5 planets, plus one planet output for combine asteroid and kiupper belts objects.

...so Sol would have a development output from 10 to 12 GTVA core planets.
If GTVA has 20 systems, lets assume that every system as output of one core world (to equalize that Core worlds would have developed planets, while fringe would have only small colonies).

This means that Sol would be only 50% weaker than GTVA, while Sol had no Vasuda Prime and Capella incidents, not GTI and NTF rebelions. Peaceful enlightment of Sol would also mens that more effort would be put into economy than military, so industrial output of Sol would be even greater (however their warships would be weaker, like Karun on your trailer using torpedos that can be shoot down).

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The Temeraire also uses torpedoes that can be shot down.

However, I find the UEF ships to be quite nice (so far). I'd quite like to fly that...what was it called, Durja?

       Sol has had no incidents that we know of. FS3 might've had the GTVA return to Sol to find it in shambles.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Yeah well, FS3 is not released yet, and it may never will, so we'll just keep to Blue Planet discussion.

In the penultimate mission, the game has a choppy frame rate. Is there a way to smoothen things up?

[Darius]

I found turning off environmental maps helped heaps. What are your command settings?

Most likely not. Disabling the MediaVPs would work, but it might cause crashes. And invisible weapons fire. Maybe if you tinkered the lighting settings with command-lines so that everything would be ****ing dark... or idk.

[Titan]

for anyone who's wondering, the head anis and mainhall come from a game called supreme commander.... come to think of it, th UEF is actually a faction in that game heh...

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Oh yeah, invisible weapons fire. I got that on the Vulcan before I learnt how to make mod.ini work with OS X Launcher.

I'll try disabling environment maps. If it works for Darius, it should work for everyone.

I recongnised the General... Shame about her in Forged Alliance though

she could have made me a very happy man,,,

You're confusing BP and INFR1.

About the FPS problem, you just have to look away from any GTVA ships.

No. I have it as my wallpaper (one of my 104, actually).

* Androgeos Exeunt looks up blueplanet.hard-light.net

My bad. It's called the Durga.

No offence, cole, but that is probably the most useless tip you can give to a pilot. What I did was to tone down the in-game detail settings.

[terran_emperor]

I found that

*Turning off environment mapping
*Turning off Glow maps
*turing off Mipmapping

should deal with the frame rate, there still is slow down
but tun away from explosions and kill enemies as fast as possible so there are less on screen at any one time

....Dang. I really need to upgrade my video card...nvida(?) just isnt cutting it for me

[Snail]

My dad got me my current computer. He got scammed so badly.

Same here. Except that I picked up the model and he merely paid. Daddy pays, or "Pappa betalar" as we say in here.

I could've got a better bang for the buck, but the easiness of maintenance services with this particular manufacturer made more difference for me.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I'm using a Mac that costs $30 more than retail price. Still, for that extra cash, I get Adobe CS3 and Altiris.

....Dang. I really need to upgrade my video card...nvidia just isnt cutting it for me

Fixed. Speak for yourself; I'm on an Intel chipset here.

[General Battuta]

We must return to topic! We cannot endanger the thread!

We've finished recording all of Mina Taylor's lines. Ransom Arceihn will be doing Alpha 2, Corey. I've got an actor who's going to take a shot at Samuel Bei.

Both Dekker and Spartan-367 are in the queue for 'minor' roles. Since in Blue Planet these roles are actually really significant, and you get quite attached to the friendly capital ships, I'm pretty excited to have such strong actors.

[Colonol Dekker]

I'll be appearing alongsaide Ransom ?? 


*swoons*

That'll get me some chicks

[Cobra]

That'll get me some chicks

Oy, I did the same thing and got nothing but a lousy T-shirt and a mentioning in the credits.

[General Battuta]

I remember you, Cobra. You were the soft-spoken Alpha wingman.
