How far before the events of the BWO campaign will the prologue/demo be?

A few months I think. It sets things up nicely...but I would think the transition fairly quick.

I'm on 56k, thanks to BT... bastards... not letting me have broadband...

Oh, well. Voices REALLY add to the experience. Remember Derelict? Glancing up at the top of the screen while dogfighting is not good. Then again, it'd take ages to DL, so I think you should make sound files downloadable in a seperate VP or ZIP. (Preferably VP so people don't spoil the plot for themselves beforre they start the campaign)

It is up to them to spoil....size so far is around 2,5 MB...I estimate around 4 MB of voice for the demo.
