yeah, I know 3.4 is final :doubt:. Yet, write which changes or new features you would like to see  :cool:

how about...
- adding the new cool glide features from the BtrL patch ?  :)
- enable glide for the Aurora MKI, the Thunderbolt and the Psi versions ?
- mulitplayer ?  ;7
- more voice-acted campaigns ?

any other ideas ?

"Please consult your Ship controls setting under Options when the Babylon Project has been initiated."

So, yes Glide is in game.  You just need to know what keys to press to activate it.
Deuternomy 22:11 explained:

Well there are many different speculations going on about this law about not mixing fibers and at least one explanation claims that it was a symbolic gesture designed to keep a pure sense of culture, people, and religion.  Seperation of crop  in the vinyard, mentioned in Dt. 22:9 and 22:10 seem to reaffirm this idea, though there may be other reasons as well.

And now, an excerpt from the Prayer of Mordecai, the Book of Esther Chapter C (New American Bible Official Catholic version).

Est C:5  You know all things.  You know, O Lord, that it was not out of insolence or pride or desire for fame that I acted thus in not bowing down to the proud Haman.  6  Gladly would I have kissed the soles of his feet for the salvation of Israel.  7  But I acted as I did so as not to place the honor of man above that of God.  I will not bow down to anyone but you, my Lord.  It is not out of pride that I am acting thus.

I know that Glide is in the game! But I say the
- Thunderbolt
- Psi Aurora
- Psi Thunderbolt
- Badger
have Glide not enabled!

And except for the Badger, this doesn't make sense :hopping:

Slide != Glide

One is the ability to strafe your ship, the other is the ability to keep your movement vector while rotating your ship à la I-War. I can't tell right now which one is which.
"I don't think that people accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable. It seems like religion and myth were invented against that, trying to make sense out of it." - D. Lynch

i think glide is the strafe-thing, where you have to use the engines to move the ship and slide is when you shut down the engines and the kinetic energy drives you onwards in the same direction no matter how you turn your ship (similar to drifting with a car on ice).

It's the other way around. Which pretty much proves the naming is pointlessly confusing.

That barrage of capital letters was uncalled for Vidmaster. Note the "m" word under my name and be careful.

It gets easier with a more recent build. Whenever you go into glide mode a little indicator saying Glide appears next to your speed bar.

TBP uses the same builds FS2_Open does. There's no good reason why when 3.6.10 comes out people can't play TBP on that.

How about a version of Babylon 5 station with the upgraded weaponry? The ones added in Gropos episodes and used to take out the Centauri cruiser in Fall of Night. As it is now with only laser turrets seems a bit weak.

If the weaponry exists in the tables it's a relatively easy matter to swap it in FRED.
