Title: Favourite mainhall
Post by: Rson on June 05, 2005, 12:30:57 pm
I prefer the Bastion mainhall, it looks more like the inside of a fighterbay than the rest which just like a random part of a ship.

I like the Aquitaine, since it improves on Galatea and Bastion. I've actually still on the first Terran missions on the Freespace 2 campaign, so I haven't seen the Psamtik main hall yet. Boy, I hope it'll look good. :)

Does anyone have a screenshot of those halls? I've only seen the FS2 halls.

Hey, I saw a cartoon once on FSP about a pilot aboard the Psamtik, as part of the officer exhange programme, who found a room full of 'headz'. What about the headz? And why do Vasudans 'wuv fishies'?

Headz is a secret video from the Silent Threat CD, and "vasudans wuv fishies" is one of the cheat codes for FS2.

The Bastion's flight deck had more visual appeal, really.

Galatea and Bastion. The FS2 mainhalls look so obviously fake it's not even funny.
Title: Favourite mainhall
Post by: Andreas on June 05, 2005, 05:24:55 pm
I agree with that 100 percently. Especially Aquitaine's mainhall is so terribly shiny and sterile.:ick:

How can they look fake?  What are you comparing them to?

You don't need a real counterpart to see it's faults. The FS1 mainhalls had cool colored lighting, moody shadows, the supposedly metals stuff looked like it was made of metal(the FS2 ones looked all stuff has the TS phong shader applied), things in the distance were slightly blurred(especially in Bastions hangar), there was smoke, sparks and cooler animations like fighters being repaired and shifted around whereas you mostly have that guy driving the lift up and down in the Aqutaines mainhall.
And maybe it's just me, but it looked like they had a contest to find the worst color sheme imaginable for the new mainhalls(green and brown, what the hell were they thinking?). The persons visible looked also better IMO.
To me the Aquitaines mainhall looked like they run out of time during development and just randomly put some lights and shaders to be finished with it. The Vasudan one is better, though I don't like the design at all(especially the colors, they should've sticked to the brown/blue sheme like it was seen on many FS1 vasudans without throwing all that green crap in)

The Vasudan main hall is a travesty. I mean... c'mon. The main tile is the same as the bottom of the Sobek. :ick: They really could have done much better...

Wow! Could it be, that there is no Bastion-Mainhall in the german version of FreeSpace 1?
I never saw this mainhall in-Game! NEVER!

It's not a skylight, it's there so the Vasudans can sun themselves. Someone just forgot to tell the guy that designed it he was building a spaceship.

The mainhall of the Bastion, the Galatea AND the Aquitaine are the SAME!
Only from a different perspective...
Only the Psamptik has a completely different mainhall...
But my vote also goes to the Bastion... I think...

Well... Now I realize that it could be, that I've seen the Bastion-mainhall...
I just haven't played retail-FS1 for a very long time...

Uh... No? The doors aren't enen in the most remotely same places. They didn't look anything alike, there was no elevator in the ground in the galatea, and they weren't even the same designs.

OK, i'l give it to you that the Galetea nad Bastion halls are quite similar, though they have their diferences.

But the aquitane is totaly different to the n'th degree. The campaign room is where the tech room should be, the hanger area is much larger, there is no "bunker" thing on the floor, the list goes on.....

And the psamtik, well good thing you're not that crazy.
