I think a lot of people will mark first option (like me ).

[Woomeister]

Let's expand this a bit. Say what your looking forward to in the next release, and what your not looking forward to.

That should get more interesting comments

[Mefustae]

Let's see some of the massive upgrades first, then i'll vote.

[Woomeister]

Well we've had many topics on some of the new stuff and the upgrades over the past year or so.

[Mefustae]

Okay then, i'll be petulant and ask for interactive upgrades... if you catch my drift... 

[Woomeister]

Hehe that'll be a while yet

Well you could say what you are, and not looking forward to.

[Qwer]

Well you showed us a lot of Inferno in topics such as Eyecandy or ship specs. Features are a lot above i expected before reading this board. PAC system that cannot be changed by loadout menu, Chimera with fighterbeams, GTB Surt with railguns.... I want only two more things: gigantic battle Icanus vs. Gigas with a lot of capships&fighters on both sides. Second is mission, when GTVA caputes some Shivan fighters and gives them to use.

[Depth_Charge]

was there a battle with the Icanus and the Gigas on Solor Wars??????? or thats a different story for inferno

[Woomeister]

FS Open can't handle BOE missions unless you have a really powerful system. More than a few capships causes 20fps framerates on my desktop system. The new Gigas is double the polycount of the last version and the Icanus is quite high too. Battles with those two alone can cause a big drop. The Icanus seems to cause the most drain of the two. There will probably be a Gigas-Icanus faceoff, but I doubt there will be any supporting capships. It's kind of a waste of time anyway as they can easily take out the other sides ships unless they are Juggernaught class or other really strong vessels.

Also the game can't handle that many subsystems if you wanted decent fighter support for the entire battle.

First and foremost, I'm looking forward to the new weapon systems which differentiate each species from each other (Railguns, Anti-fighter shotgun weapons, plasma bolts, etc). I'm also looking forward to experiencing specialist ship designs and how it can be implemented in missions.

And funnily enough, I'm looking forward to the Geb. I think it's a beautiful ship, and if the other Vasudan capships can live up to its example, then I'm looking forward to seeing the new Vasudan fleet.

Also the game can't handle that many subsystems if you wanted decent fighter support for the entire battle.

The subsystem limit should be dynamic now AFAIK.  But I would like to see a decent Icanus/Gigas battle; if it's merely something like High Noon it'll be disappointing IMHO.

[Woomeister]

Well if the Icanus fires its main cannon then it has quite an advantage over the Gigas, so it'll mostly depend on how well the bombers do before the Icanus arrives, then we'll see about other capships, though it would probably more Shivan fleet Vs Icanus really.

We've got some plans for that mission. I got to play with part of the ending 

[mr.WHO]

I'm looking forward to INF_Fred_Open that will allow to make our own missions without some bugs,errors, other problems.

[Murderous Species]

Well if the Icanus fires its main cannon then it has quite an advantage over the Gigas

What about the Gigas being with escorts, and the bombers' mission is to destroy the escorts and attack the Gigas as much as possible so the Icanus won't be too damaged after the battle ends.

[Woomeister]

The Icanus can handle any other class of vessels, and the bombers need to stop the Gigas from using its subspace weapon, having the bombers go after far lesser threats would be far too risky.

[T-Man]

Inferno is a well thought out, professionaly run, and ambitious project that that looks set to take the fS2 world by storm.

Likes:

• The Module system: I LOVE THIS IDEA! THe ease of it will not only help professional moddign fans, but attract new people becuase its so easy
• The team itself: They're all great people, and they're always taking the time to talk to their fans and keep us up to date!
• The Models: The quality of the models in Inferno is getting better and better

Dislikes:
...i'll have to get back to you...

[Qwer]

One more thing i want Inferno R2 to have: cool music (from know ones 4th and 8th track from Freespace 1, all exept first from Freespace 2, from Inferno R1 5th and 8th).

[Woomeister]

We use the following tracks:
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Hidden
Joshua
Revelation
Definitive
Syphon - broken
Deuteronomy
Frantic
Frantic-B

All of them are in OGG format. The music is 36mb of the total mod.

[Darius]

Syphon's broken? 

[Woomeister]

Yeah the improved version of the track needs table updating to stop it jumping half way through. It'll be fixed before release.
