Well Ill start with the bad news first.  EMW has been put back for an April release.  Due to the current situation with lack of voice acting support, its going to take time to get hold of some more, and get the scripts back and put them in game.

The GOOD news.  A new 8 mission pack will be released on th 26th.  b5 Star Fury Pilot.  Each mission is based on a show where a conflict or battle took place.  Scince i have all the samps I need from the show, it will be available in a week.  Ive only a bit left to do on it.  It will feature such episodes as - And now for a word, Severed dreams, Signs & Portents, Fall of night, View from the gallery, A voice in the wilderness etc.  And its for 3.4

Check out   http://www.heatemup.relichost.net for more info

You don't have the ships for View from the Gallery or Voice in the Wilderness (with the crazy break apart multi-ship thing). Did you model them?  Oh and people reading this... offer MAG your voice acting support. EMW is a nice campaign so lets get it released.

[Redrake]

I never did voice acting. What's involved in that?
Too bad, I was looking forward for EMW.

[madaboutgames]

The big crazy breaky ship in Voice in the wilderness would be hilariousley easy to model, but havnt really had time.  The Heat em up site has had a revamp and all relating info is on there so take a look Ian Ive improvised

EMW is still coming im just gonna advertise across lots of boards everywhere to get some va for it

[IPAndrews]

Your dark blue on black colour scheme is a gift to opticians everywhere .

[perihelion]

I'm a little reluctant to ask since I don't contribute anything myself, but I was under the impression the Infestation was completed a while back.  Was I mistaken about that?

[madaboutgames]

No it was completed, the Infestation campaign has been changed in order to work with 3.4   It will be available for donwload in the next few days

In case you need me as a voice actor just throw anything you want, big or small, to mmajanoja (at) gmail.com. If I don't have the patience to help TBP team as a FREDder, then at least I can do voice acting.

[IPAndrews]

You'll recognise his voice. He voice acted half the characters in RW.

Half.
You are overexaggerating again.

[IPAndrews]

I've told you a million times I never exagerate.

[stargate2008]

oh, really?

[Redrake]

So, where's the B5 mission pack?

[stargate2008]

I've told you a million times I never exagerate.

He exagerated about when about the  release 

[madaboutgames]

The new mision pack is complete and tested.  The new 3.4 should be out next week and will be released at the same time

You will be happy to know that Im not exagerating when I say its awesome After you have played it you can send me some cookies and milk

[Redrake]

I'm extremely curious about Severed Dreams. Did you make Churchill ram the Roanoke?

[madaboutgames]

No i didnt unfortunatley, it is possible but by the time the roanoke and the churchill where in collision distance it would stretch out to long, and this way its different everytime.  If you played the last one - its much improved and straight into the actoin

[IPAndrews]

My version of the mission puts the ships in the right position and makes it try to ram but I don't think I've ever seen it do it.

[madaboutgames]

I know, I set all the parameters for it, but it real life (in-mission) it would never work, as the time of the ships critical hull damage would change every mission, and the only wat to actually do it would be to make the Churchill invulnerable at X damage then it would.  But after 2 minutes of the churchill being bombarded and obliterated with say only 9% hull integrity.  It wouldnt be very believable and look quite silly really.  So its better to be realistic than a wee bit far fetched, im sure you would agree when you play it

Why don'T you toy around with the max. hitpoints of the Churchill? -- let's say you give it 300% of the common Omega's hitpoints (in-game hopefully noone will ever notice) so it can take to punishment until it reaches the Roanoke

makin it ship-guardian or invurnable would interfere with the kamikaze run 'cause if the the ships can't die it can't kamikaze into somethin
