I'm pretty sure that all communications in FreeSpace are subspace transmissions, or at least just the long-range ones.

Yeah if they were using mere radio signals, you'd have to wait the better part of several hours to get a response from Command... assuming that they're even in the same system.
Subspace transmissions seem to be the norm in FS.

True...true...
Although, I do wonder what those comm relays and stuff are for if a fighter can send a message over then light years, with absolutely no infrastructure :P.

The relays could be for non line-of-sight transmitions.

I'd imagine comm relays are required for inter-system communication (think - subspace requires gravity)

That apparently serviced the entire outer rim of GTVA space.

I'd say it more likely the comm stations act more as signal boosters... even directing the signal through a node or something.

Yep. Darius is busy at work on it ( I hope ). You can see a sneakpeek picture of it on his site. And you can read about BP2 on the BluePlanet wiki entry.

A couple of bugs in the campaign -

1.
Spoiler:
The Minnow hulk still has glowpoints.  They should be deactivated thorugh deactivate-glow-points.

2. I like to play with a non-standard FOV.  This makes all of the in-game cutscenes look weird (certain ships are cut off the edges of the screen.  Could be solved with set-fov and reset-vof sexps.

Oh my god, I FINALLY got to play Blue Planet, it's freaking epic! I love the new characters you see on the animated image thingies when they talk in-mission. I was amazed to see that the commander of the Sanctuary uses the image of Ivanna Dostya from Supreme Commander, that made my mouth drop. Where did you get the other images for the head .anis? They look amazing.
