MT's Sol is definately more than a match for our Sol...but thats not to say that they have some interesting tactics.

I want to go into a massive furball and start firing anti-capship missiles at boint blank range at everybody. after they have been properly softened up, i shall call in my wingmen to assist me in softening them up.

after that, i want to try and breach the defenses on a properly layed out Dreadnought battlegroup that is cruising in an anti fighter formation.

and then, i want to snicker wildly as i transmit the coordinates for a precision intersystem jump to my battle group so that they can jump in in an anti-capship formation and start blowing them to dust like the whitestars do in B5.

and then, i shall do a barrel roll and wing waggle as i pass my flagship, and then jump.

ahhh, the free-for-all quite fun, but in a single mission it's quite pointless for anything other than multiplayer, unless it leads somewhere which, knowing ice and the rest of the BWO team something like that would.

On an other completely different topic, anyone seen fs2 on a 19'' flat screen monitor? i just want to know how sweet it might look.
I'm having one shipped in sometime this week.

Here's A question for ya ice, will the story for BWO rival that of FS2 (i know it's sort of a continuation of sorts)?

If ya give us a demo, give us a prelude of sorts, so it fills in some background details, that way, you don't have to give away the storyline, you will give out just enough to whet the people's appitites. Oh wait, were you planning that already?

about all of those smilies, weeeelllllll, lets just say that i REALLY like to use my bomber in fighter deuls because i have mastered the art of using the dumbfire missile. i can hit targets at rockets maximum range and they are actually pretty effective when sprayed at a target contiusaly or in conjuction with point blank barrages. only the heavier assault fighters and bomber allow this type of fighting. i find that with this style of atack, the artemis and athena are my best multi role ships with the medusa workable when needed.

BOMBERS RULE!!!!!

FIGHTERS ESCORT!!!!!!!!!![the smilie mooning you button was broke, please use your imagination]

I don't know if we'll rival FS2...I want you guys to tell us when its out. Tell us where we went right and where we went wrong. We will have quite a few characters and we've tried to make all their actions make sense (motives and personal objectives etc.) so hopefully that part fits well with everyone.

You're rigth on the money with the demo. Its a prequel of sorts in relation to one event that sort of sparks off the beginning and roughly the first half of BWO.

Hey,
For all those arguing about Neptune, viable resources, military bases and the rest, play the original Descent. Yes, plain old Descent, for DOS. The PTMC has bases on every planet and as we know it is also contracted for government weapons research. Pick up a few ideas. Remember, Descent: Freespace- The Great War is set in the Descent universe. (Could we fly Pyros in this mod? Pleeease?)

I think you should be more specific with the terms "meson cannon" and "meson reactor". Mesons are a whole family of force particles if I'm not mistaken.
