Other suggestion.....

allow multiple loading screens - 1 for normal, 1 for Vasudan, 1 for SOC, etc

Another thing would be allowing a cockpit model, like in IWar or Tachyon

just wish I knew more than the basics of C to actually try and work on this.... oh, well, might as well fish out me ole' textbook and find that copy of Borland

If we get a Linux port of the FS2 engine that uses SDL and Open GL I will try and compile it on my kit. (Along with lots of other things.)

Huh - very good point. But I wouldn't make it global (Terran, Vasudan, Shivan). Make it selectable for each ship in the .TBL entry. Otherwise, what would BWO do - poor Golgotha would try and broadside.

Change the ship sides. It's silly to just have 4 sides.

Instead have 8 or 9 different colours and allow each side to be programmed in FRED as to who are the enemy

e.g

Blue ships will fight green. They'll ignore Red even if they start shooting at them and they'll ignore purple until they start shooting at them.

Allow ships to fire on their own side if they are given explicit orders to do so.
