Ok youve already mentioned that this will prolly need SCP n all that, is there any way youll release a non-SCP version?(jw b/c my Scp is very inconsistent and slow:sigh:  while the orignal is still runnin like a champ)

What he said.

It will not support standard Retail FreeSpace 2...we've used some of the new SEXP's that come with SCP and a few extra goodies.

Frankly, all of the eyecandy on SCP right now kills my machine. So I have most of it turned off.  You can run BWO with all of the fancyness turned off if you want and get the basic runnings...

We probably won't overhaul our weapons graphics as much as I was going to originally so they are still 256 color...and there are 256 color nebulas...the high color TGA's are MUCH better...but you have both as options.

So...you aren't forced to use super mega detail.  Trust me.

But will it look good for those who can support super mega detail?

It'll look like the screen shots on our website right now essentially.  Or better...

Will this thing come as a complete package or will we already have to have SCP installed?

You'll prolly need SCP installed since it's a separate deal.

I'd say SCP is a definite.

As for a complete package (assuming one BIG file instead of LOTS of smaller files)... Well, boys/girls/Shivans/thingies, what's it gonna be? :D
