Noticed there isnt as much love put into BP-War in heavan to the first one .. shame
Why do you think that? I guarantee we worked our asses off on it.
Do you just mean the lack of voice acting?

... Maybe the goodies aren't turned on?

Oh i mean no disrespect... Its good .. and no not the voice acting .. although it would have helped lol .. i hate that automated voise they have introduced .. so i have turned it off... Just seemed as if the first one seemed like a Longer More thought thrue project .. just feels like the first one was much beter, I do how ever dislike the fact that the invaders have Beam tech and the Earth guys dont ... I do see the ligic however where they didnt battle the Shivans with Beam Tech and never reverse the tech , But in real life physics they guys with the Energy beam weaponds would Absolutly spank the Guys with out the beam tech getting there ships chopped in half by a stream of Charged Photons , Are you guys currently working on any other projects?

I...what. :wtf:
How old are you?

I think he's a troll.
-
I for one think WiH was better than AoA.
-
I don't like the weird romantic arcs but WiH > AoA
-
urgh this thread isn't going anywhere pretty

I think Vic-Viper.v1 doesn't understand that the Voice Acting hasn't been completed yet.

Maybe Vic-Viper.v2 can use the spacebar more sparingly please. :wtf:
Sorry but, what you say makes such little sense Vic, or Viper. You're using the ancient "laserbeams beat rock, paper AND scissors" argument here. It seems the whole tactical side behind using these different weapons escapes you (the advantages of not needing to lock on but firing projectiles, the great range, the use of specific weaponry in general by the UEF as opposed to the GTVA). Sorry but I got to stand with Battuta, how old are you?

Well he's welcome to his opinion, we don't all need to club him to death.
-
I don't mind opinions, I just don't get his explanation/motivation of beam-beats-all. It's like saying retail sucks because red beams look more evil and therefor win by default.
-
But but but... red beams are moar powerful and win by default ! trololo

Just because red beams are more eviller doesn't mean they're more powerfull they also have to be cooler and we all know blue is the coolest collor so blue beams should be more powerful except they only use them as antifighterbeams because they didn't think it through this is why i think fs2 sucked really really bad because they had green beams instead of blue beams for the terrans when the terrans should have used blue beams because they would have smacked the shivans so hard because blue beams wouldve been much more powerful of course except for the fact that volition was really not thinking at all when they made this game they were only thinking about what collor beams the terrans would use and not what they should use which led to stupid design decisions like using greenbeams instead of blue beams sometimes i think this is why freespace 2 should have been not released because if it wasnt then maybe the terrans would use blue beams instead of green beams which would have been much better in my opinion and also green

real life physics
Energy beam weaponds
I are confused.

weaponds indeed!

I think this is the same guy that has been asking about my Freespace cutscene test, which use's the War in heaven mod on my you tube site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_C6ycBWL4U and from his comments i get the idea that he thinks i have added to it which i haven't and he said he was using the 3.6.10 release of media vps.
So if your reading this and your youtube user id is VicViperXxXxX, the whole sequence was created in FRED2 using the cutscene sexps.

Heh, Sorry about the first post. I was a bid drunk when i wrote that. But as for Energy based Weapon's Vs Kinetically Propelled ones the Physics stands for it's self. A Charged stream of energy Depending on how much Energy you put into it , if it reaches the point of damageing results then it wouldn't have a means to stop it, For example a hot knife thru butter, if you keep the knife hot then it will just continue. If you throw a cold knife at the butter it gets stuck. BP WiH kinda left a few questions for me although I'm going to wait for the next chapter to start asking abunch of dumb questions the creators probably have already planned to answer.

Yes that was me , I was wondering if you had changed the lighting in game , When playing this mod it seemed very dark but the Cut vids did not. the 3d Animations havent changed but like i said just seemed very dark and sometimes you cant see the ships just a void of stars where the ship is currently

You need better lighting settings.

Sigh, fine I'll bite. "A charged stream of energy" isn't anything. It doesn't make any sense from a physics-standpoint. If we narrow the definition of "energy" to the force-carrier particles then that renders your phrase nonsensical, force-carrier particles have no charge, nor can you charge them. Also, putting energy into a stream of energy? Your analogy imples you are enhancing something with energy, but that something, according to you is more energy.
The physics of beam weapons have been discussed before, and most forms of "throwing energy" at the guy have been ruled out in favor of actual matter (plasma, electrons, etc), as all forms of energy are invisible except for light, which even then has to be aimed at you to be seen.

Yeah, the understanding of physics here is clearly not all that great. Charged particle weapons IRL are not anything to get too excited about in terms of space warfare; they have their niche, mind, but it's not one of overwhelming ability compared to kinetic weapons.
-
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that "Charged Photon" is an oxymoron.
