Title: Training missions?
Post by: Blahd on August 17, 2005, 10:35:38 am

I recently purchased the FS1/2 combo pack, and the FS 1 conversion for FS 2 works great. However, is it possible to play the FS 1 training missions somehow? I've never played the game before, so it's kinda tough learning the mechanics without a tutorial.

You can play the FS2 tutorial missions. They're virtually the same as the Freespace 1 tuts, with only one or two actual changes. The FS1 training missions weren't ported, IIRC, so playing the FS2 version seems to be your best option.

Yes, I thought so. The problem is that I'd have to play through several FS 2 missions to get to the advanced training missions (which are what I'm really looking for), and I'd like to save that for when I complete FS 1.

Seems like my only option is to do it in the original FS 1.

The first FS1 training missions leave out the same stuff the first FS2 training missions leave out. You would't get anything about the energy transfer systems, shields, or aspect locking secondaries in FS1 initial training, and I believe ETS and shields are only briefly covered in FS2's initial training.

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to port the FS1 trainings over and release them with ST Reborn (hint hint...)

Heyah,

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life, but I thought I'd just chip in my €0.02.

Erhm, the fifth training mission in FS1 uses the "Interceptor#Weak" missile, which seemingly hasn't been ported.
Yet.

Are there any plans for such? Is the WEAPONS.TBL file crammed to the brim already, or could it be squeezed in?

Probably easier to adjust the Freding

Probably easier to drop the Fang and re-insert the Interceptor#Weak... ;)

I haven't checked the size of the WEAPONS.TBL, though. So, how'sit, GalEmp/Goober5K? Is there room in there for the Interceptor#Weak?

Probably, but it's not really necessary. Just use the standard Interceptor, or the Harpoon#weak.

They're not really any difference between the Int#Weak and the regular Int. You can still take out the freighter's weapons subsystem manageability and without destroying the freighter itself.
