Shivan Weapon Changes:

[redacted]

[Scotty]

The Myrm gets the Cyclops?  And the Harpoon?  I am 100% A-****ing-okay with this.

[Mars]

It's the last Tev fighter in the slow and stupid with the  Aurora getting a maneuverability upgrade.

[FrikgFeek]

Actually, the Aurora now has very similar rotation times to the Myrmidon
Myrm's at 4.0, 3.7, 5 (yaw, pitch, roll) while the Aurora is at 4.0, 3.9, 3.5

The harpoon compatibility was somewhat necessary to make the fighter part of the fighter-bomber work. It still has that stupidly huge target profile from anywhere though.

[Azrael15]

Can we get an idea of FS: Blue mission changes, or is it basically 'every mission has been altered'?

[General Battuta]

It's nowhere near that ambitious. You'll be playing the FreeSpace 2 campaign with a rebalanced Circe, Morningstar, and Lamprey (the guns nobody used). Some hidden dialog has been reactivated. TAG missiles now work gloriously (the biggest change). The battles in Slaying Ravana, High Noon, and Their Finest Hour have been rebuilt.

We'd love more suggestions on things to tweak! Already I've spotted a dialog change I need to make in Ravana.

[Scotty]

Rework Mystery of the Trinity to be less dead space.  I haven't gone through with a stopwatch to figure out how much of that mission is following your wingman from waypoint to waypoint with no dialogue or combat, but it's a lot.  Also maybe unlock the ****ty armament you get stuck with.  **** Rockeyes.

[Veers]

Just in Freespace Blue right now,

GVF Seth - Towards the end it says the current variation of this fighter is the Set Mace. Should that be Seth
Mace?

The Romans Blunder: And the Sirius Jumpnode is represented by a Ravana?

[PsychoLandlord]

The Romans Blunder: And the Sirius Jumpnode is represented by a Ravana?

Yeah, I was just about to post this one. Also, in The Place of Chariots, at mission end Command's line reads "This is mission is over." Beyond those two things, I haven't noticed any issues at all with FS Blue. Although Slaying Ravana has looped around into being comically easy now. 

[Veers]

We're being trolled, it's easy and we start up the engine of the Vasudans.

But yea, nothing else that I've noticed. It looks and plays well, the double messages confused me until I realised it's the history in the corner. That's cool.

[General Battuta]

Just in Freespace Blue right now,

GVF Seth - Towards the end it says the current variation of this fighter is the Set Mace. Should that be Seth
Mace?

The Romans Blunder: And the Sirius Jumpnode is represented by a Ravana?

Wait, what?

[Phantom Hoover]

Presumably he means in the briefing?

[Veers]

Derp..

I mean in the Tech Room, the description of the Seth.
And the briefing for Romans Blunder. Slight Oops on my part...

Now to break the mission by actually inserting a Ravana..

[General Battuta]

Oh, no, it's Set Mace.

[Meneldil]

I love numbers, but note that the one you need to interpret half of the post is missing (1 PBank Capacity = ??? Maxim shots)

[FrikgFeek]

The Maxim's cargo size is 0.02. Simply divide PBank Capacity by that number and you'll get the maxim shots you can fire.

[Phantom Hoover]

IOW, multiply the capacity by 50.

[General Battuta]

Prom R buff just went live. It's an anti-hull weapon with a rough DPS match to the Subach. May need to tune it a little for distinctiveness.

[Scotty]

Just in Freespace Blue right now,

GVF Seth - Towards the end it says the current variation of this fighter is the Set Mace. Should that be Seth
Mace?

The Romans Blunder: And the Sirius Jumpnode is represented by a Ravana?

Wait, what?

This was almost really hilarious.

[yomi]

In mystery of trinity, wings Iota and Kappa seems to lost their waypoints. Around one minute, you can see them just chilling in one spot, while following zeta 1
Probably was in vanilia freespace as well, but you can just target Kappa wing while command thinks they lost them, which is a bit silly
You can also switch camera view to Iota and see Kappa wing just next to them.
Also you could beam free Psamtik in The Romans Blunder. It always seemsed silly to me that it take so long for her to finish NTC Glorious and NTC Impervious with just AAA Beams and turrets.
