Excellent! I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter of Blue Planet.
Some inital impressions of the AoA update:
The new lighting is beautiful. It might be worth updating some of the ships with the shadow build in mind; I'd expect hangars to have some permanent interior lighting. Currently, the Raynor's is pitch black.
The opening MOV is a little clumsy, as Petrarch's monologue is cut mid-sentence. I don't think it's really necessary for it to be there at all, as an FS2 player wouldn't need a reminder, and a new player wouldn't know the context of the Knossos anyway.
Is the title text in the opening sequence - Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius - supposed to appear in the top-left corner of the screen?
