Title: Debriefings and that
Post by: Selectah on July 25, 2007, 06:41:38 am

Greetings, o' most respected reborn gentlemen.

Thing that's been in me mind as of late: art thou going to keep the retail/original debriefings? The thing that really, really bugged me (still does) was/is the braindead debriefings. "Whaddya mean," I hear you explain. Bear with me, my story gets better.

Thing is; after I've painstakingly eliminated all enemy hostiles, the debriefing dude tells me (with overly theatrical locution) "you eliminated all enemy hostiles". Well, duh. Like, thank you for telling me, dude.
(My personal theory is that these fine pieces of voice acting were only leftovers from a tanked session when someone from  :v: came up with the (perhaps not so) bright idea of recording generic de/briefing voices to use in ANY mission. Like, "good, you completed all mission objectives".)

Just wondering.

Bewildered,
~Selectah

ST:R is based on the original not a polished copy of it....
ergo there have to be new debriefings

"Thou" is a singular pronoun, so it's not grammatically correct here when paired with "gentlemen". :D

We rewrote nearly all of the text for ST:R, including the briefings and debriefings.  So everything should be much more fleshed out.

For some reason -- and thou mayeth me severely scold for assuming too much -- I always thought you read posts in the singular. I might be wrong, tho.

Anyhoo, cheers and thunderous applause for noting the verbal ..hmm.. shortcomings in the official ST offering.

Assumingly,
~Selectah

The Ratna mission was the worst of the bunch.

The Ratna mission now has a far more extensive debriefing. ;7

Will it have reference to PI?

Wow. Dude, I can safely say it won't. The FREDing was just about done (or finished) when CP5670 released The Procyon Insurgency.

What's this infatuation to have PI linked to every new campaign, anyways?

Bleh. My campaign isn't linked to PI. Just asking anyway.

PI and ST:R were developed completely independently.  I didn't even know PI had anything to do with ST until I played it.  And there are a lot of fundamental conflicts - two Hadeses instead of one, a completely different ship armament, different campaign back stories, etc.  They're not at all compatible.  Consider them as taking place in alternate universes.

Now, on the other hand, ST:R is compatible with Blaise Russel's universe.  There's a fairly obvious crossover with Shrouding the Light, and there's a not-so-obvious crossover with Echo Gate that we arranged while he was developing it.  There are also other, smaller, touches that some people might notice.

What other universes does it tie in with? Only BR's?
