I'm new to the forum but i'm at mission 17  in ST:R, after having played the original Silent Threat.
The difference for me between the two are as follow:
--original silent threat didn't make sense to me at all, i just played it blindly, hoping to get to a mission that would actually give meaning to all the fighting efforts; it just felt empty and got bored with it shortly
--ST:R is a completely different story, i'm near completion now and i can't wait every night to get home to advance another mission into it, to see what else is going to happen. Suddenly it all makes sense, there is a purpose(other than staying alive of course), the story is engaging, captivating. The only thing is i found it a bit hard (played it on medium) as far as i had to lower the difficulty level to easy for one mission: the dreaded Hellfire . In that sense is not quite fairly balanced, even a few other missions required a good bit of replays to get the bonus objectives, but hey, in the end it's all worth it. Miles better than the original. 
Just my 2c

I'm still curious if Jason Scott played ST:R and what his thoughts would be if he did.

We eventually intend to formally invite Volition to play ST:R, but we want to get a few things done first.

A fine idea, the more you can confront Volition in a positive manner about Freespace, the more chance they'll ask questions internally about it and perhaps consider jumping back into the genre.

What things needed to get done?

The Silent Threat that came with Freespace Port is a complete and I mean COMPLETE conversion from the original. Nothing has changed. Nuff said now please listen to the what the sign says above and THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.

Same back at you, BTA. READ the thread before you POST.

ST (Silent Threat) != (does NOT equal) ST:R (Silent Threat: Reborn)

(Looks at Board section title, notes that it is for Silent Threat: Reborn)

Like fixing the hades? *nudgenudgewinkwink*

I don't think ST was that bad. The first mission was a really cool idea, and the next two were decent too. It became progressively worse after that though, with the final mission being the worst.

If you encounter a ship named the

Spoiler:

GTD

then you're playing Volition's Silent Threat.

That is supposed to indicate that you can't identify the ship.

I thought I was the only one that thought this. Glad to know I wasn't alone.

But yeah, the GTD [] was a GTI destroyer with unidentified Lokis. Aside from nameplates (which Orions don't come with in retail), how else can anyone know? Heck, they can't even identify the Trinity until the Trinity was hailed, never mind the mediavps nameplate.

[Goober5000]

The mediavps nameplate ought to display GTC Trinity, on account of them not being able to get it repainted in 10 days.  And, incidentally, wanting to prevent news of the defection from leaking out.

(I mentioned this to the FSU team before, but they apparently haven't  gotten around to fixing it yet.)

Does this include 162?

No.
