Does it play a major role in the final mission against the Lucifer?

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
:confused:  An engine feature... that's mentioned in the techroom? Isn't that a bit meta?
I know, I would also be confused if I wouldn't know the answer... But yeah, it is both in the game engine and mentioned once in the Techroom.

Does it play a major role in the final mission against the Lucifer?
I don't want to say this... But no. :P
However, it is important for the mission to take place.
11.

To recall: a sexy, canonical and non-material... thing. Not mentioned in briefings and debriefings, but once in a document in the Intelligence section of Techroom. It is neither a historical event or political construct. However, it is featured in the game engine. It does not play a major role in the final mission against the Lucifer, but... it is related to the mission and also pretty important.

And I've never seen a sexy historical event/political construct...  :wtf:

No. :P Jumps are mentioned more than once in the Techroom, and I believe you could find it mentioned in briefings/debriefings.

The olympics during ancient greece are both sexy historical events and a political construct. Such was the importance of the games that wars were temporarily cancelled in favour of naked men frolicking in the fields.

It doesn't play a role in the final lucifer mission so subspace it isn't.

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Jumps are mentioned more than once in the Techroom
Jump nodes are mentioned multiple times; jumps themselves are mentioned only in the "Subspace" entry.

But the reason I asked about subspace jumps is because there's nothing else mentioned in the intelligence section of the tech room in either FS1 or FS2 that I would classify as an engine feature (unless we get really general and go with "weapons", but I'm pretty sure weapons would count as "material" anyway).

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
-Joshua-, you are right there, didn't thought of that...

Colonol Dekker, a correction:
Does it play a major role in the final mission against the Lucifer?
I don't want to say this... But no. :P
However, it is important for the mission to take place.

AdmiralRalwood, I was literal saying that *it* was mentioned only once. Jumps are mentioned multiple times in "Subspace" entry :P And since this entry is inside Intelligence section of Techroom, jumps are mentioned at least a couple of times in the Intelligence section. Well, got that a bit messed up.

I guess it counts as sexy, but how does it possibly count as an engine feature?

The same as for the fighter mounted intersystem jump drive: not featured in engine. Nope.

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Going to take 2 questions and leave.

First, probably wrong, is it the green glow of the Shivan ships caused by the disabled shields?

Second, a follow up on Goober's. Is it the subspace skybox?

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
I think this needs to knocked out first:

Is It subspace-related?


(If not, I think I know what It Is but I could still be wrong)
