In the latest of my Freespace TvTropes efforts, I've made a page for Inferno (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/Inferno). However, I wrote that much and then realized how seriously out-of-the-loop I am in regards to this mod, so I'm requesting some help in filling out the page and correcting any glaring errors. I will of course be refamiliarizing myself with the mod and making changes/additions too, but any help would be appreciated! :D

First off, thank you for your enthusiasm about Inferno; we deeply appreciate it.
Right now Inferno is going through transition, so the information regarding the project may change from month to month. Thus it might be worth holding off something like this.

Good point, there, actually.
Alright, then, I'll leave the article alone until there's something more concrete to write about.
-
A 150-km monstrosity was planned at one point, but dropped.
AFAIK it wasn't a ship, but rather a bitmap. I don't know what happened to it, though.

The only good songs from Help! were Yesterday and Ticket to Ride.

Troper Night is on the case.

It was, but it was like only 200 polygons :nervous:

what was it actually supposed to be? Shivan?

Yup. The famous SH Gargant.

No, the Gargant is different (and smaller, from what I'm looking at)
-
any pics you might have of that supership? the one discussed earlier?
-
I've got a 250 km supership here, do you want some pics of it?
it's a giant tri

is it even possible for the engine to handle ships this big?

It can handle a scale model of Earth, so yes. Interacting with it in any meaningful way (including collision detection) is another story.
-
the earth model was at scale? Wow! mighty impressive!
-
Might not have been to scale but it was bloody huge.

No, don't think so.

No
Yup. The famous SH Gargant.
The Gargant is 40km not 250km

It was made by a mysterious new race known as the Asterisks (******)
-
You missed a * should be ******* :p
-
I would see a race or faction like that in JAD (or any parody)
"Oh my god, they're the *******!"
"The what?"
"The *******. They are an ultra secret faction, so secret that we don't even know their name."
"How does one pronounce ****** anyway?"
"I don't know, but you missed a *."

In almost every topic posted here on the main Inferno forum, the Gargant has to be discussed in one capacity or another.

It's Inferno's posterchild, after all. I dare say moreso than the Nemesis.
-
It became truly memetic after all these years. :)
Maybe, when all other models will be done, one of our modelers could try HTLing it...
