Title: 3.2 suggestions (non ship-related)
Post by: Woolie Wool on April 13, 2005, 05:04:26 pm

-More music! I'd love to have tracks from episodes such as "Endgame" and "The Long, Twilight Struggle"
-Crusade-style jump points. Since Crusade is newer than the original series, Crusade's jump points should be considered the definitive ones.
-More characters in the head anis, especially important characters like Lochley, Vir, and Marcus (I think Sinclair is missing too).

-Agreed
-Not necessarily.
-Sure, more variety would be nice.

Vir? Why would Vir be on the comline though?

Who knows? It'd be ace though.

"Vir? Get off this comm channel! We're in the middle of a shooting war!"

1. I don't think SCP has yet pumped music.tbl limitations. We're using he max number of music tracks allowed in the retail FS2. If the limits have been upped, we'll look into it.
2. We voted on this internally few months back and decided to stay with the original style. So no Crusade or Legend of the Rangers style jump effects.
3. I think here were some limits as well, so we might have already hit the limit. If we can add more comm anims, we'll look into it. Keep in mind that comm anims are captures from the shows and movies, and if there are none for someone, I doubt we'll animate one ourselves.

Seriously though, are you even using the current music and comm anims to their fullest?

Personally I'd love to have seen a Midnight on the FIring Line soundtrack and (even better) a Call to Arms soundtrack! It's probably a good job we don't have the latter. I'd be prone to over using it. I love Evan Chen's Call stuff, and yes, I am certifiably insane.

I think we already have an Endgame track both in-game and for the briefing in TBP.

In season 5, he becomes ambassador and then emperor.

The current limit is way over the retail one. There is a table floating around with all of the tracks from FS1 and FS2 on it.

More emotional scenes. Like some of the debriefings where you read the sad story (for example the Bradbury destroyed and more than 800 people dead :( ) and there is that very emotional music playing in the background. More of that. :)

EDIT: But don't over do it. You don't have to make it as dramatic as the Bold and the Beautiful. ;)
