Video demonstration - UED Solaris
Here's a video preview of the mission "Forced Ejection", where a Federation strike force attacks a GTVA blockade at the Delta Serpentis node. Midway through, the UED Eris jumps in and proceeds to lay waste to two Deimos corvettes. Also demonstrates my lack of dogfighting skills. :P

Music and sounds are ingame. Mission is subject to change between now and when it's released.

 
Re: Video demonstration - UED Solaris
Great video! I'm assuming the Solaris is in trouble when it has to face an unnutured Titan.

One thing that bothers me: Why are the Terrans of the future using Zeus bombers. Those where outdated during the fs2 campaign. Why don't they use Artemis DH instead or you could borrow the Athena Mk. 2(from Trashman was it?).

Also those heavy railguns look awesome. How many shot did it take to blow a Deimos.

That video is cool! I always liked your flak graphics . . . looks so pretty.

It's like, "Oops, just 10 seconds to slow, sorry man," to the dying Deimos corvettes.  :lol:

Think it was about 8-9 for one.

Fear the Solaris!

Re: Video demonstration - UED Solaris
I haven't watched it yet.




EDIT - Now I have.




And my mind is blown. Absolutely, 100% blown.

The ships were pretty, the music was really good, but the main highlight for me were those weapons... Seriously cool, those weapons. I loved the grenade launcherl, that was supar cool. I really liked those sweet salvo turrets, the funny trail turrets, the blue things, the other blue things and the flak things. You've really fleshed out the United Earth fleet and weapons...

To say you did a good jawb would be the understatement of the century, but I'll say it anyway. Good jawb.

Re: Video demonstration - UED Solaris
Oh, wow.

I've been reading a bunch of psychological research on the effects of music on experience. I really think BP's music choices help make it what it is.

The grenade launcher was beautiful, as was the Solaris. And I rather like the 'Forced Entry' reference in the mission title.

Re: Video demonstration - UED Solaris
Much win!
Those corvettes got wasted. I wonder how the next part will turn out. The Titan will obviously win in terms of sheer firepower...though I've found it tends to lose its main beams a lot, especially when facing powerful projectile weapons.

Is it possible to get a download of the video? Or uploaded to youtube? Cause that site hates me.

I don't see a starfield, but it's a WIP.

What did you like about it, Mobius?

Goodness, those Rapier bullets look awesome.

Holy crap! That was all around awexome.

Say, is that music available anywhere? Because it was friggin' fantastic.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Re: Video demonstration - UED Solaris
Wow.  That was really good :yes:  Pretty intense too... :nod:

May I ask what the other UEF ship in the battlefield was (the one that was there from the beginning).  There weren't many shots of it (and the ones that there were were brief and blurry), so maybe I am mistaken, but it didn't look like a Karuna or a Solaris to me...

Re: Video demonstration - UED Solaris
Whatever it is, it looks like it has a massive spinal-mounted weapon. It was shooting big blobs at the Titan in the beginning. Some sort of Monitor/Siege Gun ship?
Or is it the Sanctus?
