Re: What do you want in the rest of War in Heaven?
Did you think about adding energy using missles? Just an idea. Might be interesting for gameplay/balancing.

I would imagine them to be like the usual missles, just with more ammo and energy using. The explanation is, that the (lagre) explosive charge was removed and replaced by a small containment field generator to save storage space. Just before launch, the containment field is activated and filled with plasma/insert technobabble . This acts as explosive.

Can't really imagine for that to work, the mechanism to store energy'd be as big as a warhead probably. Can however imagine having some sort of 'gadgets' instead of secondaries which use up energy (an EMP field, shield recharge battery etc), which I think someone was scripting or working on.
Currently playing: real life.

This would require some coding, cause secondaries right now cannot/will not use energy on use at all.

What do you want in the rest of War in Heaven?

Stealth, sabotage and special ops missions behind enemy lines, prototype ships and weapons eval (kinda like SOC loop in FS2)... Maybe after becoming a Fedayeen?
Nebula missions (say its gas giant atmosphere if the campaign is only in Sol)
Tactical microjumps (inside mission area).
And Shivans! :P

Re: What do you want in the rest of War in Heaven?
Since the steath fighter is already ingame I'm pretty sure it will be used in WiH2.
And there already is one in-mission jump in WiH1, though granted it isn't tactical or anything, just a short hop to a place were Laporte can train with her (not so) shiny and (not at all) new Kent and get's ambushed by those elite Nyxes.

As for Shivans, I doubt they will be in, unless there is another nightmare mission, that fore-shadows BP3, since the team said time and again they want to have the GTVA-UEF war resolved before without any outside interference (Vasudans are part of the GTVA and thus probably don't count as "outside").

Re: What do you want in the rest of War in Heaven?
Well it was in the last preview - the ainsarii is an assassin, not a scout. I figure it can sneak up on a target and polish it off fast, but it needs its stealth to avoid prolonged combat.
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

Another thing - asteroid bases. There should be plenty of them in the belt. And a mission in close proximity of the Sun, like the one with the Indus falling.

I take it you've played Vassago's Dirge? If WiH has tactical jumping half as good as VD it would still be supremely awesome!

Re: What do you want in the rest of War in Heaven?
So here's a question, in Freespace 1 the Vasudans were better at reactor and thruster technology than the Terrans. In Freespace 2, the Vasudans seemed better in every technological regard.

What disadvantages do the Vasudans have in BP?

Being butt-ugly and having an arcane language system.

Their cruisers suck.
