Hmm...? I'm afraid I don't understand what you are trying to say. This game is about space battles and the intro is supposed to represent what you will see in the game. If you think about it, the intro does have a story to it. A Federation research station is attacked by the Dominion (early dread rush). Federation ships warpin to distress call, and are obliterated. But they damaged it enough for the Klingons to quickly kill it off. After the tittle sequence we see the Federation rebuilding its forces and launching an attack on the Romulans. The Federation loses the battle because they aren't coordinated enough and didn't use any special weapons, therefor the Romulans emerged victorious. We then see the aftermath of the battle. At the end, we get a surprise visit from the Borg, who had been quietly been building up their forces. A typical FO game . So the moral of the story is: don't leave Borg alone because the end wont be pretty.

That's what I was shooting for because that's what this game is really about. Thanks for the feedback though. I will try to include more story in a future version, but it would prove difficult as I don't have a recording studio and Patrick Stewart to do the audio.

actually i got what i wanted: optec finally will publish some parts of the background story, when he has time later this year:)
the fleet battles itself look good, and i gotta admit i didnt think so much about the story of your intro 

edit: is it possible that you add some damage textures to the dread and the roms hips that got hit, so it looks more like the fed ships did actually some dmg. or i didnt see em ... dunno

Small critic:
Make the ships not be "fully colored" and then into "full grey"... A "fade out with some explosions" would be cool.

Also the critic on the fire-burst to the excelsior. Make it less "instant" kill and more "torps are breaking through the hull, then the next causing secondary explosions until the ship is out of main energy"

Its very nice up to here and the new explosions are pretty nice. Continue the great work!

Until the patch comes out, I think Mayson is the strongest avatar. Use it well, and you're pretty much invicible.

yep as mayson you can rush up to sfc, which = win. spamming norways also helps. then spam EIIs, you probably wont ever need to do a chassis research.

Thank you Warp.

I guess its true that Feds normally win, but I got a request from Dom to have them suffer. And since it was B!G Dom how could I refuse?

Hehe, aye, considering on MP they've been the most powerful faction since the release of version 3.0.0 - plus, wouldn't this be normally the time when the Feds would rise from the ashes and do something we would hardly expect?
