The first time was fun.  Now I am playing again to do all the wrong things. XD

By the way, I went to play some other FS2 Source project during this time.  And I realized most of them feels easier than TBP.

I am not talking about the Raider War levels, they were designed perfectly.

I am talking about just trying to make a kill.

For example Star Fury against Star Fury.

In TBP I find myself taking for ever just chasing 1 target which most of the time is flying off my screen.

Is the TBP AI just super buff?

Its the size of the ships, the speed, and typically the StarFury guns are slower to fire or have less spread if they do fire fast (like the Thunderbolt).  It was a difficult balancing act to get things the way they are.  I'm not sure if the team made things harder or easier since I stopped tweaking tables but thats what it was when I left.

I made some changes to the beta which removed random fire waits from all ships. This has resulted in faster and more furious combat with more firepower being put into the air by... well everyone. That said the feel of the combat is still the same. It's about precise shots hitting fast moving targets. I'm not saying it's better than the way other mods like BTRL play, I'm not saying it's worse, it's just different, and it happens to be true to battles in the series. It's worth noting though that as IceFire correctly points out you are flying a Star Fury. Other ships handle slightly differently. If you're replaying the campaign all ships should be unlocked in the ship selection screen so try using a Sky Serpent or a Sentri?

I liked spacebattles the way they were in the x-wing series.

Lots of firing.... furious combat-..... DNAGEROUS capital ships and though a feeling for precision and efficency when it comes to AIMING

Yes I need to work on that without screwing everything else up.

haha, I liked space combat the way they were in Freespace 2 XD

Is that the same as X-Wing?

Wait... you mean you could play BTRL!?!?!?
