Minor typo though: on the highlight button for this at the top of the forum main page it says "Unificaion War".Snagged it.
I always liked U-war for how unique it was in the FS-verse, so It was cool to see it get upgraded.
Here is my short review, I'm mostly just going to be comparing it to the original version and listing issues I encountered:
I love a lot of the new effects and assets, the Goliath is awesome, the Sagittarius looks killer, and I like the frigate models,
(I can't say I like the Constellation though, a Canberra would have fit better but that's just my opinion :warp: )
I LOVE the new music.
The way sensors work now is much better then before, It's less hard to work with, but still forces you to use your radar, though it might be worth looking at whether the radar gauge can be scaled a bit bigger then the rest of the hud,
Speaking of scaling, I had to edit the mod to set the fonts to be much smaller as my 1360 x 768 monitor made them fill the message box with only one line of massive text, I guess that's not to big an issue because of everyone's system is different, but you might want to set the font size a bit lower, also, there is a larger version of the message box used by the current release of BtA that can hold more text, if you want I can grab it for you.
I noticed that a lot of the mission end automatically rather then end when the player lands, I understand why that was done, but some message dialogue gets cut-off in a few places, andSpoiler:it detracts from the one mission where you are told to return to base but get ambushed before you can land,I don't disagree with that change at all, but perhaps giving the player the option to either land yourself or skip with a keypress could be nifty, or at least make sure the player has time to read the last few messages before force-ending the mission.
The balance seems better, I remember U-War was one of those really hard campaigns, but It feels less aggravating and more rewarding now, and that's a big plus.
Over all, I really like what you did here, thanks for taking the time to update this mod! :D
Nice to see the soundtrack find a new home.
