is this actually part of War in Heaven?

[derringer82]

Not officially, but it might be included with the campaign as playable in the mission simulator.

I just realized that is not a Karuna, it looks like a Karuna 2.0 Extreme!

[derringer82]

@nelsonmars That's a good way to describe it, yes.

[SuperColossal33]

wow this mod looks really good, does it have the best graphics of them all?

[derringer82]

Most of the graphics are MediaVPs, but our texturer has done a good job with normal mapping and shininess. Don't know about best graphics, but probably best music selection :P

What an excellent mod this is - and having Freespace 2 (which you can now get from GOG.com for $6) means I can get the Open Project and Campaign Pack 2.0 that gives me better graphics, all the missions from Freespace 1 with Freespace 2 graphics and over 100 Freespace campaigns! That's right ONE HUNDRED campaigns! Not missions but CAMPAIGNS!! How can U not love that!!!

Basically, the GTVA is paranoid of the UEF. But there is *merit* to their paranoia to the extent that the Earthers are in no condition to deal with a threat like the one their peers faced in the second Shivan War.

Plus, since Earth is the cradle of humanity, it very much has the political influence to seriously cripple the GTVA, which is destabilizing enough as it is.

A sucky situation for all involved, like most real wars.

And then there are those Shivans... still out there.

Excellent video.

[Hadespwr]

Alright, you got me. What visual pack are you using that makes the warships relativistically huge, like how I actually imagine them. It never made sense to me that 10,000 people could fit aboard a Hecate the way the model was originally designed, the one in this video looks like it actually does justice to the crew complement plus millions of tons of hardware. Same for the Bellerephon, Chimera, Narayana...the list goes on. I want that, where can I get it?

@Wuanslm This mission was still a work in progress in this video. If there's enough interest it could get cleaned up and finished but the focus at the moment is getting part 2 finished.

[dariusbei]

I just assumed he was talking about Age of Aquarius, which has been out for a while.

@richardr1989 Wut.

Do some research before throwing false information at people. War in Heaven is barely a year and a month old.

[Wuanslm]

@richardr1989 Dude, I know, I am talking about "this" mission, you know, the one the the video here is showing?, it wasn't released alongside War in Heaven.

[richardr1989]

@Wuanslm

Dude this campaign is like old; its been out for like years; just download it pretty much from anywhere.....

[Wuanslm]

With WiH out for a good while already I am correct to assume that this mission isn´t gonna get a public release?

[zdupi]

I have to play this game in the near future!

[takutanuva937]
