but what kind of ation? Punctuation? Detonation? Mastu... okay forget that one.

well being ship type dependant is a bit of bummer really, would be be possible to code in an optional bit of code which could be referenced in a .fs2 file, without it the mission uses default settings etc..

Now that would be cool.

ULTRA BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats the best one I've ever herad! That would so rock you could be chaced into a Nebula and then back out all in the same mission! Then just for Eye candy have a ship go boom and whatch the nebula part it's infront of disperce all over from the shocwave! We could link that to FRED to mabe as a check box like the astro feaild?

Bumpers.

I'd really like to see this included.

Something else I've noticed in nebula missions is when the capships are just barely visible through the fog, you can clearly see the models are at LOD 2 or 3.  So, if you're gonna do the thinning nebula stuffs, bump the range at which the models switch detail levels up a bit.

Do it yourself. It's a simple .tbl change not an SCP thing.

Not true from my viewpoint.  I've noticed that FS2 handles detail distances a bit differently from "normal" space when in full nebulas.

I have to concur; for a number of ships glowmaps are LOD0 only (no glow textures for the lower-res maps) so you can use them to judge when a ship is switching LOD in the nebula.  The Deimos sticks out in mind, it seems like those maps jump out awefully close.

[karajorma]

Well I'll state now that until someone looks in the source or performs some tests we can't be certain that the nebula handles any differently from normal space.

Detail distance:      (0, 800, 3500, 10000)

That means that the deimos will only swap to LOD0 when you're 800m away from it. You sure that the nebula is handled differently? Or is it just the case that you only notice the LODs changing in the nebula cause it's more obvious there?

[StratComm]

that is easily be the case.  For some reason I was thinking that most capships don't change LOD until at least 1200 meters, but whatever; that could be the case and I just never noticed it before.

Sorry to bump an old thread like this but I was wondering, if this was to be implemented, would it be able to jump straight from zero nebula to full nebula? Or would that require a sort of asteroid field style box in FRED?
