Nice video.

It's a "Silent Threat: Reborn" mission, but what's mysterious ? The classified research on the Vasudan cruiser ?

[insert random speculation about Vasudan headz collection research here]

I'm just glad *someone* is enjoying ST:R [/pouts]

Thanks.

The mission is called "More Than Meets the Eye", so naturally there's more to that mission than meets the eye. And it's not limited to the Vasudan research convoy either.

Would you rather I keep everything a secret until ST:R is finally released?

[Nuclear1]

Alright, some theories:
[list=A]

• The Vasudan convoy is carrying prototype beam cannons, as they transfer the information to the Pinnacle, and therefore the GTA/PVN acquire beam technology to destroy the Hades with.
• The Vasudan convoy is working with the GTI; hence, the "intelligence types" reference. They are carrying prototypes/research for the GTI.

[Mongoose]

Ooh, classified.  Those intelligence types never reveal any of the good stuff. Looks like a lot of friendly targets in the area, although I wasn't able to tell exactly what they were; would those be the cargo containers the pilots are referring to?

P.S. As a side note, and forgive my FREDding ignorance, but is there any way to replace the wingman personae in a particular mission?  One of the few things that I disliked about the FSPort was that the FS2 wingmen's voices were used instead of those from FS1.  If there was any feasible way to change them back, it would make the experience almost identical to playing FS1 again.

Those are the freighters and the cruiser.

You'd have to replace messages.tbl with the one from FS1 and copy over all the persona messages.

awesome video.  I'd like to note however that the Prometheus S is far more powerful than the Prometheus you use in FS1.  Also the trails on the Hornet use MissileTrail03 in FS1 as opposed to newmiss3.

Yeah, we're taking that under consideration for the Port v3.0.

[Viko]

Coooooool

I have enjoyed playing the firsts ports and no doub I will enjoy playing this one.

Thank you guys, you keep our dream alive after all this years.

[Ghost]

Maybe the Vasudans are working on Transformers. Because they're More than Meets the Eye.

[Goober5000]

Nope, try again.

[FireCrack]

Beta 3 is a rouge GTI agent?

[Goober5000]

If he were, he would know what was in those cargo containers.

[/subtle hint]

[Charismatic]

Sorry but it seems it only plays for me, soundwise. I have downloaded the vid but i dont see the.. mission.

Any idea or proggy to play it? (Media player 10, seems to have many buggs, its not playing it either.)

[RED DIAMOND]

Mirror for those of us that don't do fileplanet?

You need the DivX codec.

No, sorry.  Perhaps someone would oblige?

Oh c'mon, registering a GameSpy ID takes about 1minute of your life. Isn't a cool ST video worth that ?

Maybe I'll upload it to my webspace, when I get home.

[Kosh]

I have a question. Does the release of this video mean that ST:R will be released soon?

/me can't wait until it is released.......

[Nuclear1]

/me hopes the ST:R won't use FSO, or at least will have a retail version strapped onto it.
