The new node is on the edge of the system, and we've always assumed it moves about as well.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Subspace is affected by gravity (canon). I think it is said somewhere in BP fiction, or it was said only on the forum/IRC, that subspace nodes form and stabilize at points of specific gravity conditions occurring in a system. Which means a node will be naturally moving as the planets and moons move in the solar system in question.
and we've always assumed it moves about as well.

That would explain it; i hadn't realised that. Thanks for the quick replies.

And thanks for the confirm btw 1R.

A more general question:

How is progress on WIH2 going?  Any chance we could get some more pictures from missions/ships? :)

Progress is not good since last spring. Act 3 is complete but we've struggled since then. If we were still working at R1's pace we'd probably have a release by now.

You know the rule. Everyone someone asks for a status update, release gets delayed by a month.

Doesn't seem like a terribly good idea. You might blow yourself up.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
I'm getting a dialogue issue when Laporte talks to Simms for the conversation segment (the first mission of Act 2).

Don't know if time compression screwed up the whole thing pre-subspace jump, but my dialogue tree was (direct -> have hope for 2nd Fleet -> say there's a problem), but now, when it comes to "insist there's a problem/insist there's no problem," the dialogue keeps blinking from "say there's a problem/there's no problem" to that and the rest of the dialogue options. Any idea? Or should I post a log?

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
I have a minor nitpick for sunglare.
In the shot of Mars we see a Narayana in a spacedock, with turning gravity blocks. Wouldn't it make more sense to switch the gravity blocks off, while it is docked inside those "claws" of the station?

In three words:

<21:08:30>   Hartzaden fires a slammer at Cybertrance
<21:09:13>   Crybertrance pops flares, but wonders how Hartzaden acquired aspect lock on a stealth fighter... :\

21:11:58   +++ ChanServ has given op to The_E
<21:12:58>   Hartzaden continues to paint crybertrance and feeding the info to a wing of gunships
<21:14:07>   Crybertrance sends emergency "IM GETING MY ASS KICKED HERE!!!!eleventy NEED HELPZZZZ" to 3rd fleet command
<21:14:50>   Hartzaden jamms the transmission.

Considering that the Eris in the same shot and two other Narayanas in the next shot (along with Karunas and the Toutatis) are rotating happily away, I don't think it would make the outro any less cool to have that one Nara shut down.

It would be a pretty cool touch to turn the rotator off.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
So uh, couple things here.

Love the campaign, still do. Updates to the models make it look and perform MUCH better.

Minor nitpicks though.
-The UEF supply ship has a nasty habit of circling idly at 300+M/S while waiting for orders, when it gets them it practically teleports over you and THEN proceeds to dock.
-The Knight fighters in "Deals in Shadows" have a habit of getting their engines knocked out and therefore being unable to jump out, ultimately distracting half the inbound force in the following gauntlet. Makes it easier, but I thought it kinda silly.

and I saw another wing of things jump in right at the beginning of Delenda Est behind us, yet there was nothing there at all.
Gunteen6 is now S31-Syntax! If I could change the name, I would!

That sounds overpowered and probably not intended. I've never been able to pull that off though.
