Well that was intresting

Dude WTF the TL is so accurate in 1999 I became so involved in work I had to put FreeSpace and Homeworld down lol holy crap seeing this brought back so many memories, mostly what settings worked best with my 3DFX or RivaTNT lol Descent, FS, HW, and MW2 were the most forgiving lol

18:03 could have sped up time to 64x and reached that in several seconds lol

I feel for the people on board the Endurance. This little manœuvre cost them 51 years!

Dang me if the briefing officer don't sound a lot like Robert Loggia...

Regarding the newer FSO models... Why is it we can always see the Terran and Vasudan pilots in the cockpits, but never the Shivans? Do they not believe in windows? Are they light-sensitive?

personanlly i never use Proms double Subachs all the time and u can never have enough Treb.

How do I download? They say get it with Knossos but nothing happens when I click the link.

Damn, I missed Freespace 2 so much. This mission looks great as intro to the campaign, can't wait to see the rest!

"Well that was remarkably easy!" (20 minutes later) "Why am I in a subspace corridor with my shields oooohhFFf?!!!!" LMAO

I'm surprised you got that far with *that* loadout. :P Really though, not bad!

All ships and weapons in BtA, plus several more are allowed in the INEDAM Gauntlet, including the Myrm from Templar.

The Tawret is introduced in BtA2, the PVN is fielding it in most of the missions.

After doing this campaign any chance of the Inferno Nostos mod?

I really don't know if whoever made this mission actually expected it to be beaten. You did well! (BtA2 Spoiler:) Looking forward to the INEDAM Gauntlet if/when you get around to it 👍

Just finished that mission, Noemi went insane and IRL I got some Windows error pop-ups but I think it was by design of the mod authors. What an ending

i miss this game so much i will have to download and give it a whirl again

Just completed that mission, it was super-tough! It took me 2 hours of trial and errors until I found an adequate way to go about it and finally complete the mission. As the other commenter said, it's good to have an up-to-date playthrough of this campaign. Not much of Blue Planet on KZfaq, which is mind-boggling to me because it's such a high quality set of campaigns. SPOILER! I Repeat: SPOILER below! From what I've just been told on the Discord server, calling the Toutatis if the attack stalls is a sure-fire way to get a Mission Failed: it triggers the apparition of Steele's Serkr group, which is almost certain to destroy the Toutatis (thus, mission failure).

I'm noticing you don't use the 'match enemy's speed' function to much.

Small Note, The Prom-Advanced is a copy of the FS2 Weapon the Prom-S

yea fantastic game

Went a bit different than I imagined but alright! I guess that's how triggers in missions works for you.

Ha, the bit with Elias getting pressured into telling us what he's up to quickly is probably my favorite part about voicing his character. Loved hearing that cackle.

well that was an intresting way of completing the mission

Silly question: are you considering doing the INEDAM gauntlet at any point? it lets you play with nearly every ship and an extra weapon you didn't unlock on your run. (The Ion Torch)

Interesting, you saved the Hercs for last.

hmmmmmmmm, that ship at the end. . . . . hmmmmmmmm, what could it be? hmmmmm.

Great vid bro. Dekker thumbs up.

Ahh, the best FS mission ever made! :D

Looks like a cool mod!

2:34 electromagnetic confinement fields are used to direct plasma examples of this technology exists within the real world this piece of technology forms the basis for how solid state drives work they also form the theoretical basis for how a fusion reactor might work read more at this link upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Tokamak_fields_lg.png/200px-Tokamak_fields_lg.png

24:57 That "Who are they?" had all the subtleties that make great voice acting stand out from merely good voice acting.

Ah the nostalgia... I love this game.

There is a slight glitch that’s why the mission that’s why it tell you to RTB at the start.

Love the "Vasudan PoV FS2 opening" vibe.

Wow! That Vasudan at the very beginning is quite impressive. The rest of the cutscene is very intriguing. "When the mad Terran summoned the Destroyers again..." Hey come on now, Terrans were not the only one at fault, or at least I wouldn't think so. Unless the scroll refers to one Terran in particular (since Terran is singular here).

If you go by the tech description for the the Orion “where these ships wonder war is sure to follow” imagine if 2 of them in ur system.

intresting Depature by the Vasudan Ships

it feels funny noticing the enlarged X3:TC Katana class corvette at 4:13

at the end i was waiting for one of the pilot just to say "cant we all just get along"

Finally someone brought the Hellbender music to Freespace warfare. Fucking awesome!

I fucking loved this mission. And whoever voiced Olefumi is a king.

I'm very proud of this mission. :)

if I had to guess how you were suppose to tell the mine yield, it might have been something to do with the name? not sure.

Around the time this was recorded (I think), we discovered a bug that would cause you to have fewer weapons than you should, if they were part of a ship's default loadout and that ship had to be replaced due to attrition. In other words, the Locusts that Alpha 2-4 should have been carrying were still counting against you. It's a pretty unfortunate oversight, but that's your answer. (It's been fixed since this recording.)

Damn Elon Musk is going to be pissed 3:14

I've made note of the grammatical issues you identified here and will correct them in our next update. You can tell that fatigue was starting to set in near the end: in terms of raw word count, we have two decently long novels on our hands, and trying to keep track of *everything* is a lot of work. With regards to the early Vasudan fleet, the idea that the PVN didn't use fighters because they didn't seem viable is, we think, a reasonable extrapolation from what we see in FS1, but is not canon to that game. Also, the comment about PVN cruisers is referring mostly to the Mekhet and Neith classes, which are much heavier than the Aten. In BtA lore, those classes were an absolute terror early in the 14 Years' War, and until the Fenris entered production, the GTA had no counter besides throwing entire fighter squadrons at them. You can find more on this in the ships database; Varner alludes to it in one of the FVs as well. (Also, the Aten is significantly stronger in an unshielded environment.)

Regarding your comment on the Fourteen Years War and Atens, it is actually well fleshed out in the mod. I suggest looking at Varners Inedam report in the mission "The Hound of Tindalos" in regards to early Fourteen Years War propaganda, and the Techroom entries for the Apollo, Fenris, Aten and Mekhet. There is enough information on why the GTAs Unification War fighteres struggled in enganging early PVN cruisers and why the PVN went with the Aten when their early cruisers did outclass contemporary GTA warships.
