Can we have the player be invulnerable during nightmares, flashbacks, and hallucinations?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Well, the player is invulnerable during that mission where Eriana and Mei Ling died...

Yeah, but that's a given, considering you're unarmed. Sam's dream of the Lucifer destroying the Orestes and killing his father, on the other hand...I explored a bit and got hit by a Lucifer beam. It's an unnecessary annoyance.

[The E]

I thought it was just as well that I wasn't invulnerable. After all, you do die or have near-death experiences in nightmares. If I were invincible there, it would pull me out of the sense of urgency and fight-or-die atmosphere that mission creates.

[da1edwin]

I've never heard of anyone dying in a dream, though I can't discount the possibility. However, it just doesn't make sense to have to replay a dream mission because, say, a stray heavy beam hit you. Besides, you don't have to know that you're invulnerable in your first time playing the mission - in my own experience, the way I realize that I'm in a dream is usually by something defying my known laws of physics. It would make sense for the player to gradually realize that the Lucifer encounter is a nightmare before the game tells you and ends the mission.

If I get shot to pieces in nightmares, I wake up. How's that?

Actually, come to think of it...is there a way in FRED to end a mission when the player dies? (Like actually end a mission and bring up the debrief/next mission without having to replay)

[General Battuta]

There's a clever way to fake it.

I noticed a couple of typos to be fixed.
In the pre-briefing text (not sure exactly what they're called, you know what I mean) of The Dragon Awakes when they're talking about the state they found Earth in, they say we're still "seeking out sources of Terrene activity." Not to mention the wording is kinda strange.
Sam's dad also tells him that his request to transfer to the "Oreisis" was approved in the pre-briefing text of Journey of a Thousand Miles

[da1edwin]

...With Vast Seas and Frankenstein's Monsters both have "mission goal text" as the objectives when you press F4. I'm pretty sure some other missions have this problem too. Should just be a quickie FRED fix.

[blowfish]

Have nameplates been mentioned yet?

Added to list.

Also added. Except 'Terrene' is valid and will stay.

[Leeko]

Er... shouldn't it be Terran?

[Colonol Dekker]

I would think. . . Unless the le'bouchere says it.

[Darius]

It's an older form of the word "Terran" (usage pre-20th century, before "Terran" became popular). It's still correct, just not used nowadays.

[SpardaSon21]

If "Terrene" isn't used nowdays, what makes you think it will be used 300 years in the future?

[Snail]

The fact that people are mistaking it for a typo is bad enough on its own...

Today we use phrases from latin, that the people in the middle age didn't use (at least the common folk), so it isn't that unlikely that "dead" words or phrases come back to life so to say.
It happened before, it will probably happen again.
Also don't forget that the people 300 years in the future are most likely to speak a language that is a combination of those we speak today. Considering that french used by many people all over the world, at least a slight french influence in this language is only logical.

[SpardaSon21]

A lot more people speak English than French.  Hell, even a lot of French speak English.  If anything, English in the future will have substantial Chinese influence like in Firefly due to the fact that there are a crapload of speakers of Chinese in the world.
