How did you get Dark to return

[BlackDove]

Please limit your questions to BWO as a campaign in this topic.

[General Battuta]

old question I guess but hey! why not

What kind of fighters will the SCP be fielding? How do they differ from the GTVA?

Isn't the Golgotha cool? Yeah, damn straight.

What kind of weapons do SCP warships use? If it's railguns and torps, do they disarm turrets a lot?

[Snail]

All this stuff used to be on the old site but then for some reason they nuked everything after HLP left 3dap.

Ice talked about it a bit a few years ago.

Things won't deviate much from those descriptions. Other than that, we can't reveal too much as there's another side that's story related to much of what SCP develops and does.

We've already got the new website ready with all the old stuff imported, and I'll be updating it at intervals with newer stuff as time goes on. The new website will be linked to in a few days.

[General Battuta]

Well I still think it sounds ****ing awesome. This remains my most anticipated mod.

[Snail]

Yeah. It's revolutionary, in the time where everyone was making uberships and awesome new weapons of doom, here was a bastion of sanity where the word plot still had a meaning.

Hi

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Does BWO have any unique assets such as ships, or does it use stuff that's readily available for download?

It has quite a few unique assets, including the GTD Golgotha, the GTI Charon, some Vasudan fighter and all the SCP ships. And more!

[BlackDove]

About 25 give or take a few, including installations and the few re-skins of existing Terran ships.

The stuff that it uses that's available for download (other than the 25 above) is all from the FSU project, as in all the FS2 assets that went high-poly/high-quality.

[Colonol Dekker]

What's the estimated completion percentage at this time?

[General Battuta]

What's the estimated completion percentage at this time?

Hasn't this been stated more than once? The mission design and all that stuff has been complete for years. They just need to HTL a couple models and do voice acting.

[Colonol Dekker]

I only check this topic sporadically, so i tend to ask for the most recent info.

[Raven2001]

They just need to HTL a couple models and do voice acting.

If it was just a "couple", I'd have them done by now

But I don't think things are too lost though. I'd estimate at about 40\50% done.

[General Battuta]

Your models look amazing and wtfgorgeous, Raven, don't get me wrong.

But man, I just wanna play the thing. 

[Raven2001]

No offense taken man! I was just trying to answer that question as accurately as I could

Yeah. It's revolutionary, in the time where everyone was making uberships and awesome new weapons of doom, here was a bastion of sanity where the word plot still had a meaning.

I think it is more than that. The original designers also are very very good at gameplay. I must say that I haven't played anything that comes close to Derelict and Warzone in terms of gameplay and plot so far. Except for PI.
I obviously am not trying to put down other mods, this is just the way I see things. Sometimes I check out a mod and its premises and ideas are much more original than the mods I mentioned, but then the execution doesn't do it justice, unfortunately

[Mobius]

Not 100% related to BWO but still something I'd like to ask you. The words "Derelict" and "Warzone" just triggered something...

Alright, BWO was part of Cold Element... but how, why and when BWO got separated from CE? Why is CE archived while BWO is alive and running?

[Raven2001]

Good question, I'm not sure I know the correct answer

I believe that Cold Element is IceFire's Freespace Portfolio website. That said, I don't think he updated it for a long time, hence it being archived. However, BWO never got separated from the CE continuity

[Mobius]

That makes the separation a bit... strange, right?

I've always thought renaming this board "Cold Element" and bringing here all the stuff related to Derelict, Aftermath and Warzone would help BWO... but that's just my opinion. Glad to notice that BWO is not a separate project, though.

[BlackDove]

The Cold Element page is here.

BWO still very much remains grouped together with those campaigns.

This is however, a BWO-only forum. You are correct however, grouping the projects together in some way merits consideration. We've talked about it before, but never done anything.

I will see what I can do.
