Ask your questions here and we'll try to answer them.

Don't ask "when will R2 be out?" since that's a pointless question

[phreak]

Is the Gargant supposed to die?
No

[Zarax]

Directly from the teaser thread...

1) There will be faction specific weapon sets or only variants like subach/mekhu?

2) If yes, can you give us some details?

[Goober5000]

1) The website says that the Icanus was rushed into service when the Gigas arrived in Sol.  So, how does this happen if it can't fit through the Sol gate and Woo says the Sol gate isn't destroyed?

Hmm, /me wonders if the Gigas uses an unstable jump node such as from Deneb to Sol or Beta Aquilae to Sol, as seen in the FS1 command briefings.

2) Does Earth get destroyed?

3) Does Sol get supernova'd?

/me hopes that the answer to 2) and 3) is "no", since I'm rather partial to both

1. Each set so far is faction specific, but the Vasudans haven't been done yet.

2. Each faction has a complete set of guns, missiles and bombs which are unique to them.

2+3 Only if you fail to stop the Gigas

[SuperCoolAl]

1. Does Alpha 1 have to go lone in a mission to take out some Supercap's reactors, thus blowing it up?
possible reply- DAMN! our whole plot ruined!
2. Do we end up taking out the shivans once and for all?
possible reply- DAMN! our whole backup plot ruined!

[chris_2xtreme]

1) Will the EA join up with the GTVA

2) Will the shivans battle over earth

[Zarax]

Will we use ballistic ammo?
Will any craft use 3 primaries or 4 secondaries?
Will you start a game software house?

[Woomeister]

SuperCoolAl
1. Alpha 1 won't be single handedly destroying massive warships
2. No


chris_2xtreme
1. Yes
2. Yes


Zarax
1. Yes there's a few ballistic weapons
2. Only Shivan ones
3. Probalby not

[Janos]

- So this is totally SCP stuff (as if anyone uses anything else nowadays..)?

[Woomeister]

Standard SCP exes won't work due to ship limit being too small. An INF_Build of FS Open is needed to run it.

At the moment we are looking into using:

Ballistic weapons
Fighterbeams
Some of the other weapon modifications
Tertiary Weapons (If done in time)
Full species support
Cutscene support (both movie and in game)
Bumped limits
Persistant Variables
Misc new Sexps

[phreak]

tertiarys come after everything else.  it may be a bit.  R3 perhaps?

[Zarax]

Did you manage to create realistic fighterbeams with loopsound?

[Skaarj]

Are the ancients still in it?

[c914]

1 why GTVA fight with Shivans:D
2 How Gigas fly in to Sol  ( he is to big for gate )
3 How meany mission will have R2

[Woomeister]

Zarax - Our fighterbeams don't actually work correctly anymore and don't have sounds

Skaarj - Undecided at this time

c914
3. Since it'll be a combined ch 1 and 2, about 20-40 I'd guess.

Why aren't you answering certain questions?
