I'm new forgive me
Hi everyone - I have been playing FS2 since around 2000 and was very happy when I found out that there is still a big following for it and the mods.  I played Inferno right after it was released as well as another mod (that focused on another lucifer showing up).  

So I have a bunch of questions - and please feel free to direct me somewhere else if these are all dumb noob questions.  

When I played inferno there were only about 5-10 missions (IIRc) and also IIRc (spoiler alert)

It ended with the good guys finding this shivan ship that was like the biggest thing ever seen ever.  

(end spoiler)

SO when I checked around the net I saw that inferno was still in build 1 - with build 2 on a very soon TBR date.  My question is - did I play build 1?  Or did I play some sort of preview?  

The next questions are easy tech questions I am sure you guys can help me with -

1 Does the SCP let me play the FS2 campaign?  Or should I finish FS2 in retail and then get source?  

2.  I used to fred2 - and I am looking forward to getting back to it - sometimes I would make a map with too many ships and the mission would always CTD - has anyone ever had that happen?  Is there a solution or was it just that my computer couldn't handle it (P4 1.3ghz at the time - now it is a 3.2)

3. does fred2 work with the SCP or is there a fredSCP edition?  (Please, I know what opensourcing is - but don't really get how changes made relate to the retail version)

Thanks, and I look forward to hanging out here from time to time

Well... Of course there is a ship-limit...
But I think that it's a bit higher now...

Gunnery Control, target Black13.  Commence plasma core insertion and fire mean beam cannon.

Exits are to your right and left, and flamethrowers are under your seat. Be careful, though, as they are sometimes filled with water, so bring your own Napalm or try to club someone with the non-working shotguns in the weapon closet. Also, be careful while wandering the ventilation shafts. If you see a large, five-limbed creature that looks really pissed, it’s probably Carl, give him your lunch and he'll hopefully go away. If you see a big desert creature its probably Raa, give him a fish and he might leave your head alone. In the event of an emergency, the n00bs will be the last into the escape pods, if there’s any room left. The Plasma rifles in the forward locker are released only under authorization of an Admin, [V] God, or hyperintelligent shade of the color blue but we lost all the ammo. Worship the glory of SCP,oh, and whatever you do, don't mention the word Freespace followed by the number 3.

Can I also recommend if you've had any experience in designing missions for Freespace 2 or want to give it a go, take a look at the Fred Academy.

Fred Academy - Basically we give you the description of a mission. You make it, we tell you what you did wrong and how to make it better.

Most of the FREDders who've been through it report that their FREDding has improved as a result so it's well worth giving it a try :)

You played the original Chapter 1.  Some time after its release, the  Inferno team had been refitting their designs and adding in additinal models, when they decided to scrap alot of the Ch1 storyline.  So, they are redoing Ch1, which will be released at the same time as Ch2.  There will be some similarities between the original Ch1 and the 2nd iteration.  I suspect that Inferno is moving along much more swiftly these days, as the Inferno forum is getting alot of traffic, but pretty much all in its internals... which is a good sign... usually.  They recently added some new staff to the project.  As a result, the traffic by these individuals who used to post in the public forum, are now on the internal so there's less for the average lurker to see.

fergus, that was simply hilarious - and once I beat FS1 and 2 again (give me about a week) I will look at my free time and maybe sign up for the Fred academy...


Thanks for all the warm welcomes!
