Now where's the damn (p)review?

Seriously, I think I made quite clear that the physics model being what it is, is not the Team's fault. Nor can anyone judge mission scripting, let alone campaign scripting and storytelling from a demo.

I did disagree on one point, though. I guess you guys will see it soon, and then we can have a nice flamewar.

I have something called real life like being in school. I have to do two essays in example.

Ja tarkoitatko kenties sitä häiveteknologian puutetta. Piru teidän harkkoremiesten kanssa. No ei, kyllä mäkin I-War2 oon pelannu läpi.

All:
As you see I get permission but it can take day or two because that damn "real life".

And oh, FYI: 10+ as a school grade means A+

It's not a score or anything, just a figure of speech. Our scoring goes from 1-100 (or as some would say, from 60-100 because nobody bothers to review trash worth less than 60 ;-)

We have to choose essay topics from our book. But essay is lot of easier to do because it's only few hundred words. Your review is about 750. Then there is also that damn swedish essay

True, Minbari stealth is absent; then again, it's hard enough fighting Nials in an Aurora even when you can target them ... I don't know, but I imagine TBP chose to allow them to be targeted for gameplay's sake...Ice would know.

I think it's for gameplay. Buda tested it when they were making Earth-Minbari war but it was too difficult.

why do topics always get off-track so fast?

Because people post replies with no relevant content in them?
C'mon, you should know that.

Hey, would it be possible to make a nebula that is not a nebula? I mean that it would look absolutely normal, no clouds anywhere, but you could limit the radar range. Would that be possible?

I don't think that is possible, and if it is possible, I think it wouldn't look nice...

I should read these forums more often. Yes, there was no stealth on the Minbari, mostly for gameplay sake.

We could do a "invisible" tag which has the shifty radar signature but to do it on every single Minbari fighter that shows up and make sure that it doesn't break itself would be pretty much murder. Its not really what everyone was looking for anyways.

With the demo missions, they were designed mostly so that the Nials had an abundance of targets and they weren't chasing after you and your wingmen all the time. If we had balanced the missions differently, you could probably kiss your StarFury goodbye because they would outmanuver and destroy you.

We thought it was hard enough

Fine, now he's sleeping. Someone have to wake him if you want your review.

Would the 'awacs-set-radius' event work?

So, file is online. You can get it from here:

I come back in few hours to see comments if there's any.

EDIT: Use right click- save file. geocities won't show file otherwise.
