Ok, here is a thread where anyone can just pop in and throw and idea at our face. Anything from what types of missions you would like to see the most or even you most favourite ship you would like to fly.
Anything goes (possibly except abuse to us ).

So keep it clean, and spam your ideas to us.

Also keep in mind, we cannot do everything, even if we say we might implement something doesnt mean you will always see it in the next demo etc, so be patient and get those thinkin caps on!


            -----------------------------------------------------------

Here are some questions to get people started:

Favourite ship you would like to fly?

Favourite ship you would like to blow up?

Favourite type of mission in FS2?

Favourite type of mission in HW?

Would you rather large fleets battling it out around you or prefer a smaller concentrated skirmish battle per mission?

Favourite colour laser?

What about afterburners(on fighters etc)?

What about missiles(on fighters etc)?

Would you prefer original style effects or more modern realistic ones?

Finally: does my bum look big in this?

--------------------
Hope thats enough fuel to get you guys burning... or do I need a spark?...

No and only on the ships with them in HW (acolyte, missile corvette)

[Jal-18]

Shouldn't the Scout have an afterburner?  To represent it's speed burst?

[Grug]

most likely it will have.

prob with them not having any afterburners is that u lose a whole element in the game...

realistlicy i believe it would be more fun with them... even if they wernt in the original.

so whats more important authenticity or fun/gameplay? (personally i think fun/gameplay is the more important... )

Taiidani Attack Bomber. The want to fly that is what made me eventually show up here.

Barring that, a Kushani Salvage Corvette. Just to say I can.

Favourite ship you would like to blow up?

Anything bigger than that.

Favourite type of mission in FS2?

Any major "blow this thing up" mission. That and those "survive for as long as the mission continues" ones.

Favourite type of mission in HW?

Hmm... toughie. It's been a while since I played since my new spanking XP computer doesn't like it.

I preferred the first couple of missions where resources are scarce and you had to make sure you kept everyone alive. After the Kadeshi missions, I found the rest of the game too easy. (Thanks to the Salvage corvettes coming out with 13 or so Multi Beam Frigates. 12 of them survived when Elson arrived.)

As far as Cata goes, I liked the first mission where you arrived to save the day.

"Hi, we're just a mining kiith, but we'll be more instrumental to your defense than all the larger kiithid put together, so ha!"

...At least, that's what it sounded like to me.

Would you rather large fleets battling it out around you or prefer a smaller concentrated skirmish battle per mission?

Well, it'd really all depend. Personally, I like to have every ship in the "battle" accounted for. Granted, with the large fleet around the Mothership in the last HW mission, that may not be possible.
Then again, if that battle isn't in anyone's plans, I have my own idea.

Favourite colour laser?

If ye speak of the ion beams, I like the blue ones. If we're just spouting out any old color, I'd take green.

What about afterburners(on fighters etc)?

What about missiles(on fighters etc)?

I agree with Thorn on these two. Those who had weapons/'burners like that should have them, but not anything else.

Would you prefer original style effects or more modern realistic ones?

FS2 original or HW original?

Finally: does my bum look big in this?

I'm tempted to say yes, but it'd really depend on how large your bum was outside of 'that'. That's not something the rest of humanity needs to know, though. Well, perhaps Physicians.

Probably the Taiidan Multi-Gun corvette, or the Acolyte

Favourite ship you would like to blow up?
Turanic Carrier

Favourite type of mission in FS2?
Something like Feint, Parry, Riposte

Favourite type of mission in HW?
No idea, maybe one where the odds are against you, like the Garden of Kadesh

Would you rather large fleets battling it out around you or prefer a smaller concentrated skirmish battle per mission?
I'd prefer huge fleet battles, but this would not really be possible in the FS2 engine

Favourite colour laser?
The Bentusi beams

What about afterburners(on fighters etc)?
Only on the Scout, and the Ramming Frigate

What about missiles(on fighters etc)?
Just the Acolyte, the Turanic Missile corvette, and the Missile Destroyers

Would you prefer original style effects or more modern realistic ones?
HW Original, just for nostalgia's sake

[Grug]

well now, i was refering to HWs effects considering it is meant to be a hw mod... but this was kinda involving both as well. for example-
would u rather have the original HW effects taken straight out of screenshots or the like, oR new more realistic effects (explosions etc) like fs2, oR something inbetween like HW effects just redone to look better but still more or less the same just higher res etc????

and finally, the 'rehtorical' question about the size of my ass was intended to be a joke , u guys r taking it too serious 4 me


BTW "Something like Feint, Parry, Riposte" which mission was that again?
is that the one where u r trying to draw out the ravana or something? i cant remember its been a while since iv played it...

Heavy corvette
Corvettes etc etc biggest flyable ship possible preffably Heavy cruiser:)

I want to blow up those atrocious bentusi and Kushans

FS2 favorite missions BOMBER MISSIONS

HW favorite mission see big ship blow up big ships

the bigger battles the better, could always hyper in more ships when into the fight as they are destroyed...

red blue green purple black

about afterburners on fighters remember HW can relocate more power to its engines or weapons, make it so that the power to weapons and engines in FS2/HW is magnitudes larger than FS2 that way HW/FS2 fighters wont need afterburners since a flip of a button will give similar results while still remaning true to HW......

missiles only on ships equipped with missiles...

Original effects...

Yes your bum is huge and i love it

It's the one where you're trying to get Koth's Destroyer to jump in, by attacking a pair of Fenris cruisers.

[Grug]

ah yes i remember that mission now

Yes your bum is huge and i love it

ahh... should i be frightened????

Triikor or Blade. Fast, powerful= |( | ( |( A55

Favourite ship you would like to blow up?
Taiidan (preferably Imperial) Heavy Cruiser, or Beast Command Ship.

Favourite type of mission in FS2?
Stay alive long enough until reinforcements come to pull your arse out of the fire.
Favourite type of mission in HW?
Mission 16 in Cata (holding off a Beast fleet while the big gun does its job on the Clee-San.

Would you rather large fleets battling it out around you or prefer a smaller concentrated skirmish battle per mission?
Tough. I would love to see a Cata mission 1 style fight with several frigates and destroyers duking it out with the carriers at the rear. However, skirmishes with fighter patrols would be good as well.
Favourite colour laser?
Red. And I don't mean red ion cannons on Taii ships.
What about afterburners(on fighters etc)?
As stated earlier, only on the Scout because of its burst of speed and on the Rammer.
What about missiles(on fighters etc)?
Once again, only those that call for it (Aco, MC).
Would you prefer original style effects or more modern realistic ones?
Original.
Finally: does my bum look big in this?
Very

No, I don't think so. Afterburners on the scout, for example, will make it more distinctive and help balance it with other ships with more firepower (ie interceptors).

[Grug]

that seems to be the opinion of everyone...

but i still reckon that because afterburners r a key element in fs2, flying ships without them will be a severe hinderance to the pilot.

we will have to make the  weapons a bit weaker then, cause otherwise without shields and afterburners the player gets hit much more, and it is also more difficult to get out of the fireing path of an enemy fighter...
