Shift-O.

The Fed Fighter models

Steve-O built those originally in HTL, IIRC. There are no low-res models, just maybe older versions of the HTL ones.

As for my bomb problem, I believe it is a legitimate bug. Perhaps due to the large number of ships on screen and clipping?

The Shivan Megabomb damage has increased and the shockwave will kill you in one hit at full shields if you get too close. This was part of the gameplay in both 3.6.9 and 3.6.10 versions. Vishnan fighters are tougher and have a better survival rate against bombs.

colecampbell666 · **Reply #103 on:** April 13, 2009, 09:33:11 am

Maybe that was it. It is near impossible on the last mission, I just squeezed through.

Was that disappearing-HUD issue ever Mantis'd? I feel fairly confident that it's not intended behavior.

I thought it was just a FRED thing. I assumed Darius used the hud dissapear sexp and forgot to make the hud reappear again after the cutscene was over.

Darius · **Reply #106 on:** April 13, 2009, 11:41:44 am

That one was my fault actually...

the mission has a hud-disable sexp at the cutscene setup, but doesn't re-enable the hud when the camera resets to the player. The newest version should have the fixed mission (among others).

EDIT: Dilmah beat me to it.

I remembered making the same mistake during my early FRED-ing days. Now you don't need to use that sexp for cutscenes to my knowledge so I've avoided the problem.

Ok, so where would I be able to find the version of federal fighter models shown in the screenshots?

blowfish · **Reply #110 on:** April 14, 2009, 08:39:06 am

here, but is this really the right thread for that?

First of all, I apologize if I'm posting at the wrong place. This looks like Blue Planet 3.6.10 discussion thread so I wasn't sure wether or not to make a new thread to share my thoughts.
Now to the point of my posting: Does anyone else find this mod rather difficult? Personally I'm having great trouble with the missions, to the point where I can't get past the first "protect ships while they get to the node" mission

Spoiler:

I can't even reach the Ravanna before it kills the Temeraire

I'm pretty sure the main cause of my failure is just plain lack of skill, but I was wondering if anyone else found this mod difficult.
I would also like to clarify I'm not criticizing the mod as I'm really enjoying it even with all the replaying of missions. I am merely sharing my experience with it.

General Battuta · **Reply #112 on:** July 07, 2009, 08:56:55 pm

Hooo boy. *grin*

Yes. Yes indeed. Blue Planet is both challenging and epic and you should feel no shame in turning down the difficulty.

Forced Entry, the mission you're on, is the hardest one. There have been many, many threads on it. Check out this one.

Trebuchets are the key.

And I think you gotta agree, it's an awesome mission. Darius did a kickass job with it (note that in spite of my badge I did not make Age of Aquarius, I joined after that.) If it weren't for the awesome music that mission would be a lot more onerous.

I just finished the mission (finally!) and it rocks. The mission is very similar to the final mission of FS2, except it is much more challenging and fun. Also I have to agree the music is probably the best I've heard on the game. It fits so well that it keeps you so focused on the action that you forget about everything else.
I do have one suggestion though, in case the missions will be revised later on: I think the final part of the mission is too long. If you mess up, you lose in a few seconds; but if you do things right, your ship is safe from any danger for the past 5-6 minutes with no enemies to be taken care of nor any dialogue to be read.
Anyway, I just played the first few seconds of the next mission and oh my God! I have a feeling I'm going to love this mod.

Dilmah G · **Reply #114 on:** July 08, 2009, 01:00:32 am

Believe us, you'll love it. And yes, I've noticed that too, however I just time-compress it after that.

Androgeos Exeunt · **Reply #115 on:** July 08, 2009, 02:41:00 am

When I started BP for the first time and entered the first mission, I wasn't expecting much (I was thinking that it might be like INFR1), but...

Spoiler:

...when I saw Scorched Earth instead, my interest was aroused, and I was quite surprised when I saw the Lucifer cutscene. I did not expect things to turn out exactly like how

planned the bad end of FS1 to be.

The Vishnan ships were pretty fun to fly, but...

...the sound of the guns turn me off because it sounds like it came from TBP.

Woolie Wool · **Reply #116 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:44:49 pm

And what, exactly, is wrong with TBP's gun sounds? How are they any worse than any other pew-pew raygun noises?

CaptJosh · **Reply #117 on:** July 09, 2009, 01:06:11 am

I think I got a bad copy when I downloaded the file at the beginning of the thread. I get that weird "no debriefing" message at the end of Universal Truth and then the Erineyes I was flying is suddenly a Peg in the next mission, and my wingmates are dead instead of flying there with me. I thought someone else mentioned an error like this in this thread, but I couldn't find the post. (Then again, I'm rather tired and I may have scrolled past it without seeing it.)

Darius · **Reply #118 on:** July 09, 2009, 01:28:15 am

No no, it's an issue with the latest BP 3.6.10. I'll go and upate it now actually...

What I'm trying to say is that the sound of the Vishnan Primary sounds a bit like it comes from a TC that I'm not very enthusiastic about.
