Did you guys ever make a separate release of the soundtracks? That collection would be bomb in a FLAC or MP3 playlist.

[MatthTheGeek]

Wut.

1) Most of the soundtracks are copyrighted materials.

2) Soundtracks are already released. Anyone can grab a VP tool and extract them in nearly literally a couple of clicks (more like 3-4 clicks). What would you possibly need a separate release for ?

3) Since they didn't make the musics, that means they found it on the internet. If there's any flac version of it, you can just as easily search for em yourself.

4) MP3, seriously ? What year is this, '95 ?

Would you prefer a tracker module?

Chill out, dude. He didn't call your mother fat or anything.

MP3 works very nicely on my generic MP3 player, which is nice because my generic MP3 player dont scream mug me like an iWhaterver does and if it dies or I loose it, well a few quid and a few mins at the computer later and it's like nothing ever happened

Weren't you like five years old when those yo momma jokes were around?

I uploaded some of the AoA soundtrack here back in the day but it isn't comprehensive. One of these days I'll add more to the pile.

[Dilmah G]

More like fifteen. It's a phase, more than a fad.

[redsniper]

Momma jokes are eternal.

Unless you don't have yours anymore.

Also, I remember when MP3s weren't and CDs were the big thing.  Hell, I remember when CD where new and shiny.  God I'm getting old.

2x cdrom drive baby, run off a scuzzy controller on the sound card

I remember when my high-school's library got CD-ROMs added to their computer lab, and they were external units about the size of a modern consumer Blu-Ray player.  Hell, I remember learning to use computers in high-school on a lab full of XTs and 286s.  Then, a couple of years later, they got a second lab full of 486s (or were they Pentiums) running Windows 3.1.

[headdie]

486 is most likely with a dos/win 3.1 os, though pent 75 to 133 I think predated win95

[Wobble73]

I remember learning to program BASIC on BBC Micro's when I was at school, god i feel old! 

[Trivial Psychic]

One of the teachers in my computer lab at the time (and she wasn't THAT old mind you), recollected that when she studied computers, they had to hold all of their programs on punch-cards.

And God helped you if you dropped your stack...

I don't mean to bump, but I wonder if anyone else had these issues yet:

I went through Aquarius today on 3.6.14 RC6 (not 7 yet), and I had two red alert screw-ups:

1. First Contact, you're supposed to have a Pegasus. I warped into the next mission and was in an Aurora.

2 (not as bad, but still): Universal Truth, I was flying a Perseus with a Prom-S/Kayser, Harpoons and Trebs, only to come in Journey's End with a Prom-S/HL-7 and only one Harpoon bank (all my missiles were depleted, and I magically get 16 Harps). Oh, and Gamma 4 was marked dead (I wonder if it's because before the Banishment Conversation, all non-Alpha fighters depart?).

Surprisingly, in Universal Truth, I made Gamma Ares and Ursas with cluster warheads (since the AI cannot fire the Trebuchet by default), they did a frighteningly competent job and survived for about three fourths of the mission on Medium.

[MatthTheGeek]

Red Alert bug. They're the reason recent mods don't use Red Alerts.

It's been there since retail, and it's in nowhere specific to BP. It's basically a very specific form of pilot file corruption. Nothing you can do about it aside from creating a new pilot - ideally you should create one pilot per campaign.

[Hoot]

I just want to say thanks guys! Playing BP made me really glad (and I am even not finished yet ...).
The the storyline is great, the vids fit, the atmosphere is strong and the action very good (ah, missions with a lot capital ship laser and falk fire ... I love them).

I will prepare some voice acting soon.

Thank you to the amazing Blue Planet team for taking me back 15 years! This campaign actually allowed me to recapture that feeling I had when I played the Main Freespace Campaign for the first time.

I recently I got a new joystick, and upgraded to 3.7.0. I decided that now was the perfect time to finally try Blue Planet. Boy, was I right! I blew threw the AoA campaign in 2 days, and now I can't get enough Freespace!

The story felt like a real love letter to V's original games, and the gameplay was just exhilarating. Never a dull moment. Challenging, but never frustrating. When I died, I was always eager to replay and do better. Undoubtedly one of the best mods I've played for any game.

I don't want to rush through WiH just yet, but I'll join the rest of HLP in patiently waiting for the rest of the trilogy. Outstanding job!

Wich is the suggested difficulty level? I had a very bad time at the first skirmish in medium alone against 12 shivans.
