Will there be a project of communication attempts to Vasudans, similar to the ETAK project in FS2 for the Shivan communications?

I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to recall that pirates made first contact with Vasudans and developed translators quite quickly (at least in our version of it).

Wouldn't quote me on that though...

err. Vasudans made the trranslators first. Or so says the ref bible. And there was a period of peace when we met the Vasudans...

The Vasudans being met by Pirates is speculation...

So.. will our fishy fweinds make ETAK attempts with the Terrans, then?... that'd be interesting to see a Typhoon suddenly start trying to contact Command... and a Sattelite goes on the fritz trying to pick up the transmission... shutting down the 116th airing of Terran Idol..

Naturally there will be communication difficulties when the two species meet.  Quite what they will be, or how they will play out, hasn't been fully fleshed out yet.

[unknown vessel]: *...incoming transmission...*

Command: Alpha wing, are you receiving these tranmissions?

[unknown vessel]: *...incoming transmission...*

Alpha 2: I think they are trying to tell us something, command!

Alpha 3: NO?! REALLY?! dumbass...

Command: Pilots! Cut the chatter, a translation is being worked on...

[unknown vessel]:.............All your base are belong to us!

Command: You are on way to destruction make your time.

Alpha 1: Someone set us up the bomb!


I can see it now...

That was wrong... and interrupting the 116th airing of American Idol would be a merciful gesture from a superior species.

1. Will you fly as the same pilot throughout?
2. Will the SOC/GTI/VCI(Vasudan Central Intelligence.  Created for Inferno)/Other Vasudan Intelligence group be heavily involved?

1) Yes.  Throughout Chapter 1 at least; not necessarily the other chapters.

2) Maybe.

hmmm, interesting. Will the vasudans have their own "SOC" type ships to conduct special ops stuff?

I know this is way way way in the future of the TVWP... but.. wouldn't it be cool, if at the very end of the last release... you could fly a set of two missions: A skirmish with a Vasudan patrol and then these things just come out of nowhere and kill everyone. 2nd half: you come out of subspace, hauling ass towards an installation waaaaaaaaay in the distance(maybe you and one wingman, considering that you can't talk.) I think you guys know how the rest of it goes..


Wouldn't that be a badass ending?

Yes, the ballistic code was written specifically with TVWP in mind.

Will the Anti-Capship weapons be rebalanced?

i.e.  Will anti-capship turrets actually be able to destroy capships without taking 5 hours?

And...........

Will the Vasudans go on a Headz fest when they meet the Terrans?
