The Hapshepsut is still more sane than the Hecate's superstructure obsession. hell, the Typhon is.

I think the Hecate was some design student's orgasm.
And even the Orion is too, seeing as how it isn't an over-complex mess of random parts that make it harder for fighters and its own turrets to protect it like the Hecate.

If the Hecate could transform into a giant mecha, maybe then it would make sense.

We got it all wrong, the lead designer of the Hecate had a vision that was planted into his mind by shivans to reduce Terran military efficiency.

If a Orion gets you on its broadside, you're ****ed; with a Hecate... not so much.

Orion Broadside: 2x Big Green, 2x Terran Slash. yes you are doomed if you are anything smaller than a destroyer. The Orion makes up in firepower what it lacks in armor.

I always saw the Hecate's advantage in its fighter/crew capacity and advanced electronics. I saw it as a Heavy Carrier, a more modern and more sensable (Blue Planet strat) destroyer which stayed back and sortied large numbers of fighters. It makes sense for a GTVA attack force to utilise these destroyers over Orions in the newly defined battlespace of BP. A destroyer as an attack warship is a dead destroyer, unless you are Admiral Steel. The Hecate as a warship is just for defence. To continue my ramble, if you want to keep the chess game going you keep your king from being captured.

Sorry for going of the current topic about Hecate Destroyers (I like the good ol' Orions more, but if you are a fighter and want to engage a Hecate, simply forget it.)

If you need some chant soundtracks or something, what about this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-6dKVNt1C4

I think that the Dawn of War soundtrack has enough epicness to fit in BP, especially in WiH.

Some Ambient
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pu4MB3kEiw&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nlbQwAwhTQ&feature=related
(two ambient tracks per youtube video)

some epic themes (two tracks per video too)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh0KS8tORuk&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTvdtr_d12Q&feature=related

There are more by far.

Sacrifice had some awesome tracks. Good for hectic battles and some surreal ambience.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eULtqxc20SE&p=B7AD310EE7E4E626&playnext=1&index=10 <- pompous, great for a shift of balance in favor of the enemy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gG5qpmUNJM&p=B7AD310EE7E4E626&index=4&feature=BF <- I imagine this track playing in debris field made of allied ships/civillians you were to late to save.

I don't know how open to suggestions you guys are music wise.  :P

We're rather open. But we also like to minimize the sheer number of tracks of, shall we say, questionable legality. Not to mention that we'd like to keep the total number of tracks down as well, to minimize download size, and to better build themes. Using tracks only once is just bad design.

I only want to help. :nod:

 I didn't say that I want to hear all of these tracks in the second part of WiH, it's your opinion what music you and the team will use. But it would be nice to hear them.

The Universe at War OST is legal to get over the internets (the creator himself uploaded the music). Ancient-Shivan War used a Masari track in the main hall.
War in Heaven can use the Hierarchy tracks. They are pretty rocktronic, like the Emperor: Battle for Dune Harkonnen tracks used in Age of Aquarius.

I don't think the Hierarchy (and even more so the Novus) music fits into WiH. Maybe for anti Shivan missions in BP3 (assuming the Shivans will be in BP3), but not for WiH.

The Masari might offer something to WiH though.

No worries, it's probably a good thing

I think this sharing is a great idea. I like the BP music already in WIH, but as with anything creative ideas are usually helpful.

After talking in IRC for a bit, I want to see a meson bomb detonated in atmosphere. I don't care which atmosphere, I just want to see it.

When I hear this (apart from getting nervous) I see a fleet moving into position for an orbital bombardment in a cutscene and just before they open fire, we jump in with a fleet to stop them.

Might fit very well into the example above to play the moment we arrive at the scene and the enemy fleet turns away from the planet/moon to face us.

Nice track for atmo or a cutscene, though the base drum is a bit too loud for my taste for this kind of music.

Another Recommendation for music: Supreme Commander, it's from Jeremy Soule too (the guys is as awesome as Steele)

Here is an example:

"Ka-BOOOOOOOOM!!!!"
"Uh, Sir we can hear the explosion."

I just thought of something: I want to see a Solaris up close. It seems like a cool model, but you only ever see them from far a way. You should let us launch from or land on one at least once. kthxbye
