Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
That is, IIRC, another long-standing and mysterious bug.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Pity :(
But I think I got some text about heavy, not total losses last playtrough (then tried to do better and lost even more lol)

Do you know what all the texts are or where to find them in the files?

We need to conspire to get the BP team members fired and left by their girlfriends to hurry that along  :drevil:

 I hear it's some form of metastatic chronovoric acataleptic life form.

i think the source of the heavy losses bug has been discovered, if not actually fixed yet.
I like to stare at the sun.

It's something I have...

Spoiler:
... that you don't.  :pimp:

As for the mystery bug, I thought it was a feature. o.O When the artillery have low HP, they can't be used. I kept losing them a lot until I disabled the corvettes by scanning them. Then they finished off the game for me.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Finally finished this last week. Amazing work by all involved, this is easily the best mod I've played for any game, and it even eclipses Freespace 2 in many respects.

Please forgive me for asking this, but I really can't justify trawling through 200-odd pages of comment to find out - when's the next installment coming out? ;)

As always with work done for free, the deadline is "when it's done" :)

The bug is that, regardless of health, it becomes impossible to designate artillery targets after a certain point in the mission. You can try, it just won't register.

The artillery withdrawing when low on health is intended.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
You guys might be glad to hear that I re-played Tenebra the past days and liked it a lot better than the first time. I'm starting to warm up to it. :)

So when do we get to kick some more tev asses? :D

Out of interest, what is the in-universe purpose for the rotating sections on EUF capital ships?

 Cheap gravity generators. Technically the rest of the ship should be rotating in the opposite direction, but I think the engine does not allow for that.

 
Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Actually if you work it out the acceleration at the ends of those rotors is 13 gees or something. The team's position on what they're for was basically '**** knows' last time it was discussed, iirc.

I remember lots of tech room text and in-game dialog saying they're for artificial gravity (though maybe that's changed since last I checked -- the wiki still mentions "centrifugal" power generation. :wtf:)

Yes, the AoA Karuna violated thermodynamics by using its rotator for power generation.  That's what Shambhala is: a huge assembly of rotators powering a giant beam cannon.
