Re: RELEASE: Ancient-Shivan War, Act I
Hey everyone first post over here, and I have been a FreesSpace nut since the first one way back in the day. I have 3.6.14 RC6, and the 3.6.12 Media VPs, and ASW1. But I cannot get the second act to work, it crashes after the initial loading screen. Here is the error message would appreciate any tips on how to fix this.

This error is a very simple fix. The mod.ini in ASW2 is set to look for ASW_3612 instead of ASW1. A simple change in the ASW2 mod.ini is all thats required, from this (in my case):

[multimod]
secondarylist = ASW_3612,mediavps_3612;

to this:
[multimod]
secondarylist = ASW1,mediavps_3612;

Awesome campaign, but I hear no music in most missions.

Are you sure the music volume's on? If yes, debug log.

Kobrar: Right, we'll look into those. The cutscene... Well, it'd kinda be like watching it twice, no?

Re: RELEASE: Ancient-Shivan War, Act I
I got the "No debriefing for this mission" in "Strike" (the one with the Akrotiri getting shot up by Lucy for the first (?) time). I'd been given the order to depart by the Akrotitre, which was in the process of jumping out (or had just finished jumping out) when I jumped.

I got a debriefing after I stuck around and waited for the "depart" directive.
By the way, not sure if this has already been posted but in the last mission, the Akrotiri sends a message along the lines of "Don't leave us" even though it's already jumped out.
Dual Crete + Punisher Phylakis still make everything easy.

Re: RELEASE: Ancient-Shivan War, Act I
I have been playing this and really like it so far. I have noticed some problems with grammar and inconsistent terminology (using names like Vega and Gamma Draconis instead of the Ancient names) but otherwise it is very good

Re: RELEASE: Ancient-Shivan War, Act I
The use of Terran names has already been explained by the fact this campaign is actually supposed to be the translation from Ancient records recovered on Altair, exactly in the same vein than Vasudans seemingly using Terran names when we hear them through translators.

Translations often sound odd, as all non-native English speakers here will surely agree.

On medium, basilisks just melt under my guns in around one second. Nahemas don't fare much better. Everything just vaporizes once shields pop.

That line is from a civilian ship. And I was sure I'd guardianed all of those... Guess I'll check again. Mission 5 is not supposed to have a debriefing, it has the "Toggle debriefing" flag checked... Did the behaviour of this checkbox change recently, or could it be a code-side bug?

Re: RELEASE: Ancient-Shivan War, Act I
This combination is surprisingly effective against lighter fighters. The Crete is not that powerful but it doesn't drain that much energy like the Nova and the Quasar and the Punisher inflicts extra damage.
Still, this combi doesn't seem to work well against heavier armed targets...

I think the only thing this doesn't work well on are Liliths (Or larger of course).

No sarcasm, I'm genuinely impressed with Deadly's flying skills. I'm pretty poor at aiming myself. Add to that that "getting close in" is generally not a very good idea in ASW, as you risk getting your unshielded fighter caught in a blast.

Especially with the Crete.

When it comes to the Phylaki, it's near-impossible to resist those 500 Punishers.
