I don't have a problem with engaging the same class of fighter for ten minutes straight. At least I can get a lot of kills.

I don't have a problem with the Hades being a sitting duck. At least I'm not in a rush.

I don't have moral restrictions to take down escape pods when ordered (it's a game). I also don't care that they are immobile. At least I can grab two more kills at the end of the mission.

I don't have a problem with receiving one Fenris and 5 Ursas as reinforcements against the largest space ship that humanity has seen until that point in the continuity. The mission can be done with even less.

I don't have a problem with the mission having only a few events and even fewer in-mission messages. The plotline and the mission wasn't complex enough to justify more. At least I can concentrate on my mission without having to split my attention to listen to some random chatter.

I don't have a problem with the 2/3(?) briefing stages that I receive - they're informative enough.

What I hate about that mission is that it's unpredictable! On one run through, I lose all my wingmen during the attack on the Jotunheim. On the next, I manage through the entire mission with losing only two bombers. I was flying with the default dogfight loadout for both runs. Every time I replay ST, this is what happens.

[Mongoose]

Yeah, I've had a playthrough or two where the bombers do fantastic work cleaning up against the Hades, but most of the time, I have to resort to the old "hide in the engine pylon" trick and rubber-band my trigger down.  Thank goodness for ST:R, right?

* The E makes mental note not to repeat the mistakes ST made.

Hmm, ST was kinda bad, I wonder if anyone ever thought about fixing it?  

[Dragon]

That's why we have STR.

You know if you answer a rhetorical question, you accomplish nothing, right?

[Colonol Dekker]

Why would anyone answer a rhetorical question? With a rhetorical question no less. . . .

Apparently, he didn't identify it as a rhetorical question.

I've checked some of the ST missions with Ctrl-Shift-W... is it me or NONE OF THEM has a ****ing nebula implemented?

[TopAce]

They're for the FS1 engine. The FSPort just converted them to FS2.

[Galemp]

Nebula? You mean backgrounds? And is this in FS1, or FSPort? 'Cause FSPort didn't spend much time on things like that.

I've meant the background nebulae, of course. And I was playing Port.
Does the original have backgrounds?

[Galemp]

FS1 and FS2 have different kinds of backgrounds; we would have had to create new backgrounds for Silent Threat, and decided instead to leave the ported campaign as-is and apply all enhancements to Silent Threat: Reborn.

I see. So the original had FS1 backgrounds (and not total blackness) and it wasn't redone with FS2 backgrounds in the Port. Thx.

[Thaeris]

Someone brought up .neb files the other day. If someone wanted to sort through all of that jazz you might be able to implement FS1 style nebula in FSO.
