Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
Yeah well, taking that into account...they're eight years late. :drevil:

But seriously, is the footage shown in that video still valid?

I don't think there'd be any major changes in the past 8 years.

Yeah, suffice to say nothing in that trailer is true, except maybe for the text, and well, the fact the Golgotha and the other ships are there.

Actually, most of the MVP explosions ARE the retail explosions just changed to .eff. :doubt:

exp06.ani being a crappy effect from retail. Anyone else agree on that one?
I agree. That's the worst explosion of the lot.

Depends on what hype you'd be referring to :)

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
I spent most of the afternoon playtesting Aftermath and taking note of the required changes for the FSCRP version, and I was wondering about the role of Aftermath in the Cold Element Universe.

Will the connections to Aftermath in BWO be significant? :)

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
Would you say that your aim is to stretch the engine to the limit not only with HTL as standard for every ship, but with effect ect... that would show us how FSĀ§ could be :lol:

Blackwater is a SOC wing, black ops !? will it be a mixed wing, with vasudans ?
And would a possible vasudan character, have a impact in the storyline?

In which way are you aiming to let the aeolus and mentu shine?

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
I know that some of the missions stretch the boundaries of the whole "Battle of Endor". In fact, as it stands, I'm pretty sure that mission still has a random crash that even Goober couldn't figure out the cause of. That was a while ago, so it's quite possible it's easier to locate and fix now, though we aren't on the final pass yet. It's something that still has to be fixed. There are a few missions like that. About the effects and the HTL ships, those are more questions for the modders.

Yeah, it's a Special Operations Command wing, and yes, it's a mixed wing. Yes, Vasudans are a big part of the storyline, considering there are no Shivans in BWO.

I haven't played all the missions recently, but I do seem to remember the Mentu being there a few times, not all that refreshed on the Aeolus' we use.

I should really go back and play all these again.

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
Pretty much, there's tweaks that will need to be done once all finalized HTL models are done, checking for crash errors, etc. But the missions overall are in a close to finished form.

Yep.  Missions are about 95% done...they will need some final tweaking once everything else is done but the missions aren't a problem.  The problem is our MODs...they are out of date and are being upgraded.  But we've got a very small number of people to do that so its going to take a long while.
