RELEASE: Renegade Ressurgence v1.0
That's a reason why I want to implement some SCP features into it.

The EMP turrets on the Terran capital ships did make them more difficult.


You certainly mean the HD Skull in mission 8. I weakened its turrets because of mission balance issues. I think I will have to rebalance that mission to make attacking that ship harder while keeping the mission still bearable.

Even attacking other Vasudan destroyers seemed too easy. That was just an example.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Fighting capital ships is going to be harder, I promise. :D

thought the the new anti-fighter beams did not knock me around, and that is bad. Sometimes I could not even tell if I was being hit by a fighter or an anti-fighter beam because of that. They just were not getting the job done.


Wait! Isn't that because you use some sort of FSO parameter? I do not find any flags in the weapons.tbl that says this is on.

Ops, sorry for the double-post.

*BUMP*

      I just thought I'd mention that using FS2 retail v1.2, I tried out the campaign but couldn't get past the first mission because I had the same problems as Dough with Fish.

First I was flying a Myrmidon, but it was only packing Tempests with no primaries.

Then I renamed the file 1_RR . . .etcetera and then I was flying an Erinyes with nothing but Aligators. I didn't try that campaign file patch but I believe Dough said he couldn't get it to work with it, so I figured I'd have similar results.

OK, I don't have a clue what the problem might be, it worked for me with both Retail and FSO. Try FreeSpace Open, then.

Yeah I suppose I might have to download and install it. Seems that Blaise Russel's latest campaign is FSO only too. (or at least my FS2 doesn't run, at all, when I tried to play it on retail)

Hey, I managed to get the campaign running by renaming the VP to 01RR . . yadda yadda (as you state in the readme) I don't know why 01RR would work and 1_RR wouldn't. Maybe the other guy that was having the same problems should try it as well.

EDIT - this is on Retail 2.1 btw

Retail is bad about that. I never got the new campaign ships to work properly in Retail no matter what I did, so that was why I started using FS2_Open and the "Select MOD" function of the launcher.

I'm never going back. I can't. I won't.

The concept for the campaign: well, it's different. It's also a little crazy, since the HoL and NTF were essentially anti-other-species extremists. But I can overlook that, since the ones who survived to slink off into the shadows are probably the smart ones, not the fanatics.

English is not your first language. I know that already, but if I hadn't the campaign would have proved it. Mind you, the grammar and spelling are all technically correct, it's just the wording is a little strange to my sensiblities. So that's not really a fault.

I actually rather liked the new Vausdan cruiser design, the Somtus, both design-wise and in terms of armament. The new installation, though, that was a bit overarmed I think. It ate a GTVA battlegroup for breakfast, which is a bit much to believe even for a dedicated defense platform, let alone a multi-purpose installation.

The Antwerpen (spelling?) was an interesting design, I'm not sure where I stand on it. It has a slight resemblence to the Hippocrates; perhaps manufactured by the same shipyard or designed by the same people. It seemed somewhat underarmored, but other hand had rather powerful weaponry for its size: clear tradeoff of armor for weapons.

Only one mission really annoyed me: the scramble one in which the Aquitane was destroyed, where I suddenly found myself dealing with enemy fighters and flying a poorly outfitted Ulysses. I have nothing against the fighter: it's getting stuck with the default loadout I didn't like.

The alliance between this HoL and NTF is a different one that you know from FS1 and 2. Destroying the GTVA and taking control over the Galaxy is a nobler goal for them than killing each other.

English is a problem for me, yes. But I am not ashamed of it, since it is my human right to make mistakes in a language that I do not speak natively. I had karajorma and Xelion do the bulk of the grammar/spelling check. Their job was difficult since the way I speak English is rather misunderstandable than non-understandable. I do not blame any of them for leaving strange sentences in, I still owe them that they fix almost all my stupid grammar mistakes. As for spelling, I know it is quite mixed up: I did not know that the British spelling is Defence or Neutralise, I wrote Defense and Neutralize. The ones I used are American spellings. I am not sure the british variant is used everywhere, since I had spelling/grammar checkers from all over the world):D).

I am glad you like the Somtus, it is a unique ship in my opinion.

The Antwerpen may seem taking after the Hippocrates because of the textures. I reduced its armour to balance its guns. That ship would be too powerful if it were even stronger than a Leviathan or a Lilith.

Not one told me he/she did not like the way I handled the mission the Aquitaine is destroyed. It is too late to do anything now.

I would like to ask all of you to add more comments and give feedback if you have any.

Some of the briefings were a bit confusing but I wouldn't worry about it. As someone who has delved into other languages, people should know that learning English isn't like learning geography.

      English is likely one of the hardest languages to learn. It's a mix of germanic old-english of the Anglo saxons and french from the Norman invasions of england. It has two main roots which are very different, and along the way it continues to borrow words from all types of other languages.

      Whereas languages like French, Spanish, Romanian, and Italin for instance all have common roots in Latin, so once you know one of them it's easier to learn one of the others because a lot of the rules of the language remain the same.

       So I wouldn't kick yourself too much Top Ace, becoming fluent in English while living in a country or environment where English isn't the primary language is likely no easy task.

     Well if you're using British over American spellings, at least it's a little bit closer to perfection :)

Meh. Didn't know where to put this, didn't want to necro this topic but it IS feedback. Kinda.

Campaign seems great so far, but I'm having the same Antwerpen prob as Mongoose. As soon as its halfway through jumping in the game CTDs. Trying to access its file in the Tech Room also causes an instant CTD. Mind you, I haven't any other problems in the Tech Room like Mongoose did.

Sadly, when trying to grab the fix given at the start of the topic I get a 404. Any other place to get the Antwerpen 'lite' model?

Edit: Oh, and I'm using retail FS2, FSO doesn't like me at ALL and I had to dump it :(

It's 404ing, because the server it is on is temporarily down. I will try to see if I can find the file and attach it somewhere.
