Hey mjn.mixael, Battuta wasn't necessarily saying that you couldn't do it, and you could probably interpret 'someone' in that sentence as deliberately vague in the event that you could, and evidently are capable of doing it.

But yes, my opinions have been stated on this matter, and it's probably about time that I voted.

Well, technically I think what you're doing is pleasing us all with ANIs.  :nervous: However, let my register my opinion that haze and bloom as present in the retail anis is a worthy investment if we find someone who has the knowledge and skill to invest in making it happen.

Thanks for assuming I couldn't pull it off...

This took a lot of work to figure out and set up. http://imagebin.org/127863

I absolutely believe you can pull it off, I just thought you weren't interested, which I completely understand given both the professional and FreeSpace-related demands on your time.

That screenshot looks really good (better, I think, than the end of your last YouTube vid of the cbani - or am I just fooling myself?)

I'm in the minority again but what the heck, I voted Demon as it keeps the scale without revealing anything "new"  and at least one demon shows up in the retail campaign so we know the Shivans still use them

Also, what about changing the portal color to the alternate "knossos" color?

That's not a bad idea. If it doesn't turn out weird because of the different color, and it's easy to do, I don't see why not.

(Warp haze/bloom looks simply stellar in your screenshot, even though I pissed you off quite a bit for it to come into existence. Apologies)

That way we can change the Command Briefing to something like this:

Recon flights in Gamma Draconis have detected the presence of a subsp--OH MY GOD, IT'S THE LUCIFER!

:D
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Sorry, guys, but I fail to see the inconsistency here. I realized it was the Ravana ages ago, and also noticed how the video stops when the warship's design becomes pretty evident. I've always thought the rest of the video was classified, and the player couldn't watch it.

That could even be a partial explanation for why they don't commit more than a Sobek in Slaying the Ravana. Maybe the first Ravana did so much damage to a destroyer or two that Command wasn't willing to take the risk anymore.

Well, the one you fight in Slaying the Ravana did blew the GTD Delacroix and escort, it's mentioned in the briefing.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

*runs to the polling place as they close the doors* Aw. I wanted to vote Ravana too.

Are you going to make the Knossos warp green?
