--- Quote from: Cobra on June 14, 2010, 09:47:05 pm ---Okay so I've already found a couple of bugs. In some missions the built-in FS2 messages are played. In the second training mission of Act 1, completion of the mission gives a failure.

I experienced a lot of bugs on the first act the first time I downloaded, but most of them are fixed now with the new version Goober uploaded.
However, the ending cutscenes still don't play (and I clearly remember at least act 1 had an ending cutscene).
And yes, I can confirm retail sounds are played in some missions.
--- Quote ---Oh, and the insides of the Kestrel are EMPTYYYYYYYYY
--- End quote ---
Yes they are! :lol: My mind just yelled at that, and I have spent at least an hour looking at the Kestrel from all angles. At some angles, the ship was completely transparent from one side, and solid from the other. And the problem didn't show up on the opposite side. It was weird, and a bit funny.
I've also noticed problems with some maps, especially the normal maps. They just aren't displayed. But I suspect that's a problem on my side. Maybe something related with my graphics card.
--- Quote ---Good on you for furthering the storyline though. :nervous:
--- End quote ---
Hmmm... I can't deny the storyline and the storytelling were of top quality. But I didn't liked the story. I felt... used. And I feel a strong reject and disapproval for the LR's actions. I mean:
Spoiler:- They attempted to steal a science vessel from a science colony. What. The. ****. :wtf:
- They left the Ark Royal (and me) in the dens of the enemy without even trying to rescue her. Even after being partly responsible (they send us out there, didn't they?)
- Command withdrew everyone who was responsible for the war in the LR, and left a bunch of pilots and cruisers to fight the war.
- And then they left the Ark Royal behind. Again.
I know this is a war, and I know that the other powers in Sol aren't really much nicer, but I swear I would have defected to the UNE if I was given the choice.

Spoiler:1. Who else has a ready supply of lightly-defended science cruisers besides a science colony?
2. It is a bit hard to rescue a vessel that is being attacked by multiple Reliants, especially when you have other issues.
3. The LRD Luna, the pride of the Lunar Navy and a completely irreplaceable vessel, should not be on the front lines of a three-front war.
4. The Ark Royal is one Constellation out of many. Did you see how many cruisers you had with you in "Thirty Seconds Over Earth..." and "Neptune Mayhem"? The LR had all those plus what was needed to hold off the wolves at their front door. One replaceable ship is not as necessary as getting the rest of the fleet to safety.
Oh, and the other forces probably aren't heading to Delta Serpentis since resupply would be an issue since transports can't make the jump through the node, and they would just end up fighting each other for the system once the Lunar Republic (which needs a new name now) was defeated.

Spoiler:You know, Bolivia has a lightly-defended supply of high quality natural gas. And we happen to need it for this winter. Now wait here for a minute, I'm going to propose the government that we invade them and steal it from them. I'll be back in a minute, ok?
If the LR hadn't been stealing gas miners from the Jovians, then the node would still be a secret. They are in this war because they are thieves.
The fact you need something doesn't makes it acceptable to steal it from others. Are those the moral values of the LR? They are nothing but glorified pirates.

--- End quote ---
Spoiler:Yes, it is. Mine is mainly an emotional reaction, but an overwhelmingly intense one. They should have gathered intelligence before sending us in. Damn! They shouldn't have send us there in the first place.
--- Quote ---Spoiler:3. The LRD Luna, the pride of the Lunar Navy and a completely irreplaceable vessel, should not be on the front lines of a three-front war.
--- End quote ---
Spoiler:Yes it should. War vessels aren't there to show the world how pretty they are or how menacing they look. They are there to wage wars. Especially when it's a survival war.

Spoiler:One replaceable ship that, thanks to the admiralty of the LR, had to wage all the war almost by itself. And it did.
If they keep treating their military assets that way, they will soon have to resort to conscription anyway.

Spoiler:Yes, Delta Serpentis is definitely a nice place for cowards to hide while other persons fight their war, without risking their precious destroyer.
The LR admiralty constantly reminds me of some other admiralty I wish I could forget. But that's not a topic I want to discuss here, nor now.
Suffice to say, that considering they (the LR high command) just fled and didn't even secured some communication link to give the excuse of being in a safe place to impart orders and coordinate the war, they are cowards in my book.

Spoiler:Better be a coward alive than a courageous dead. I've been playing Act2 as a beta-tester, and I have to say that I've never been chocked by any of the LR Command's decisions. This is thanks to those decisions that they are likely to win the war now.
Dragon:
Spoiler:TVWP is rather dark, command decisions also didn't suprised me, but I was feeling that I'm not flying for "good guys". LR is dark gray at best, the "least bad" faction in TVWP seems to be UNE. Personally, I like the way it's set up.
