But if the Ancients had such powerful weapons and ships, why was it that they were obliterated by the Shivans?

Because the Ancients had far worse weapon technology 8000 years ago.

3DS Max, Vitualdub and windows sound recorder

The intro took me 1 week to learn how to do it, then about 4 hours to render it.

There's 5 cutscenes planned 1 intro, 2 in campaign and 2 endings. The cutscenes are for a combined ch1 and 2 campaign file.

Uh... why? This is freespace. There's nothing like that in the game.
