The subobjects are for triggered animations (such as fins deploying when you hit afterburners/switch weapon banks, etc).

I'm at the last mission now, and I must say - The visuals so far have been stunning. Very, very good job on that. I think I might play through it again afterwards with the patch.

Edit: Last mission keeps crashing midway. Last time it happened was when our carrier was destroyed, and this is after the patch.

[Dragon]

That's strange, I never had any issues with it.
On a side note, I noticed that BP is getting highlights even for their trailers, maybe DoS release also should get highlighted.

[Jeff Vader]

DoS release also should get highlighted.

Agreed and done.

[-Norbert-]

I like the backstory of the setting. Especially the part about the messed up subspace, which explains how something like a frontline can even exist in times of intrasystem jumps.

[Nemesis6]

I finally got past the mission that takes place in earth orbit. This sounds petty, but the dialogue is horrible: I find myself going "no, stop it! Stop it, stupid! Lalala I'm not listening" in my head, and seemingly it goes on the next mission.

Also, I re-encountered another bug: In a few previous missions, entering the fighterbay of the Raynor did not end the mission. But I solved this once by continuously poking around in there until I hit what seemed to be a a sweet spot. In the mission where you face off against all the flagships of the other factions, nothing worked and I had to kill myself 5 times to advance to the next mission.

Bad dialogue is not a petty complaint. Dialogue is one of the big pillars of a campaign.

I modded the Avenger II. it is so bad-ass while still a starter cannon.  I added the "cycle" flag, which is what I did for the Avg II from SaH

In SaH I used the Gauss Cannon sound from Descent ][; this time I used the Level 5 laser, which sounds appropriate.  Also, that laser, for those of you who have not played D2, is a orange yellow.  Furthermore, it sounds like a lancer type weapon.  I simply VPMAKE'ed everything - the new gun sound, the weapon TBL and the sound TBL files.

Oh, and no it is NOT over-powered I made sure of that, and It doesn't use a ridiculous amount of energy to fire, it is merely double the original, which isn't much  (0.1 units)

EDIT: yes.

EDIT: I changed it around a bit.  I lowered the damage a pinch to make up for its nice re-fire rate

oh and I moded the original Avg to make it not-useless by giving it moar range, however damage is untouched.

oh and i did some spell-checking, not much though

Dialogue is what I happen to suck at writing the most, and noone helped me ;_;


@Infamus: wat is that? You modded the Avenger II? lol.

[Commander Zane]

Last I remember Laser Level 5 was yellow with a white core.

[Infamus]

@ Commander Zane:  Dude

level 1: red
level 2: purple
level 3: blue
level 4: green
level 5: yellow
level 6: silver/white

@ Droid803: I believe it is is a nice modification of the Avenger II seeings that everyone was complaining about it the normal version 

about the dialog, yes it is very important to any campaign.

[-Norbert-]

While that dialogue wasn't exactly the best of the best, I think it is far from being as bad as Nemesis6 makes it out to be (especially since you can just not read it.... after all it's only text).

If you ever make changes to the campaign, I'd try to add in some rumors about unhappy civilians and such, to make the change in the populations attitude a bit more smooth instead of a 180° turn from one second to the next. Perhaps that would fit in well with pilot chatter.
Furthermore I'd change the last mission a bit. Just someone saying "ship x destroyed" all the time is boring. Maybe you could add a little speach, or make a reporter comment the big event for the news.

Edit: Oh almost forgot: Why are supportships deactivated in every single mission?

[Droid803]

Because I don't have a good, bug-free support ship mode available and I didn't want to use the Centaur. (The Hygeia is out for obvious reasons).

The in-universe reasoning is that the fighters (the newer ones at least) were deemed to be able to carry more than enough ordnance for a given assignment. They don't want you wasting expensive missiles.

[-Norbert-]

Or alternatively, that the support ships don't have enough room for the newer jumpdrives, that are able to punch through the interference perhaps?

[Droid803]

Yeah, something like that

[Commander Zane]

@ Commander Zane:  Dude

level 1: red
level 2: purple
level 3: blue
level 4: green
level 5: yellow
level 6: silver/white

I ****ing know that, they're not just a solid color though they have a different colored core.

level 1: red / orange
level 2: purple / white
level 3: blue / white
level 4: green / white
level 5: yellow / white
level 6: silver / white

Unless your system was too low-end to even play Descent 2 on a high enough setting to have the Laser cores...

Dude.

[-Norbert-]

You should put an explenation about the support ships into the first command briefing, so people like me stop bothering you about it 

[Infamus]

@commander zane: Hmm, didn't think you meant that, sorry dude.  Also, I know what the core colors are; I am able to put the graphics at maximum.

I don't think that support ships are even needed seeings that you have plenty of weaponry to get the job done.

[Cobra]

I keep running out of missiles. Too many targets.

[-Norbert-]

What's with the massive explosion damage of the wraith?
In the 2nd to last mission a Jackal, when a Wraith explodes in about 150 meters distance, the Jackal loses about 40% hull despite having full shields. They have worse shockwaves than most cruisers!
