Title: Izrali playable in act 4-5?
Post by: emark4 on July 11, 2018, 05:36:44 am
So I guess it's safe to say Blue Planet act 4-5 is still coming judging from the past posts as of late.

I gotta ask, would the Izrali fighter be pilotable as a ship in act 4-5 ? Bomber based missions for acts 4-5 have been thrown around lately but I was wondering if the Izrali fits into all this. It's such a cool design after all  :)

It's Izra'il. :P

And I'm pretty sure it will be playable. There is that one video on youtube presenting a planetside mission in which the player is using no other fighter than an Izra'il.

I gotta stop spelling  that fighter's name wrong.

Any link to that mission you can share?

I should have inserted the link in my previous post, but I was in too much of a hurry to think of it.
Grab it!

It'll be the first ship you get in Act 4.

Sweet. Hope to play act 4 soon. Love the planetary battles demo.

Got it. I'm looking forward to playing this mission, even though it's years old as I write this, lol.

Are there any more recent screens out there? In general I've never been a huge fan of ground combat in FS, most terrain models look old and underdetailed even with high-res maps, it's the thing that reminds me most that FS wasn't released in 2012 or so.

No, it's going to look underdetailed and ugly.

So I'm guessing more work needs to be done on the ground textures, rebuilding them to like, modern FSO standards.

There are already good detailed textures, just the way that model was UVed and made it stretches pixels across kilometers of flat polys. I don't know about current BP, last time I played was shortly after the latest rerelease. :nervous:

That model's not in any released BP as far as I know. And no, we never let asset problems slow dev down unless absolutely necessary. If the mission's fun it'll ship with ugly ground.

I'm a simple man. I see a mission with planetary battles. I clap in applause regaurdless of how the ground textures are.

I'll be busy trying to blow Tev forces up to notice anyway.

If the writing is good and the mission design is fun, give me ugly ground GDI.
