Comms (text and voice) Mantis Ticket 0000628 RED Just before jumping to waypoint 1 Greywolf text and voice don’t match.

On a traitor mission, during the courtmartial, the judge states “You have fired on an allied vessel”, the text states “You have fired on allied vessels”.

Command briefing - as mentioned by others, did not notice anything else. Briefing - as mentioned by others, did not notice anything else. Objectives - CFB (clear as a f'n bell). Mission flow - serves introductory purpose well, meeting friendlies is a nice touch. Green light. Mission paths - forces replay when disobeying, getting wing leader killed or attacking friendly craft, progresses when doing it by the book or returning to formation. Wingmen behavior - nothing out of the ordinary. Comms (text and voice) - minor discrepancies as reported by others. Escort list entries - no escorts. Autopilot HUD - all nav points light up, base and additional. Autopilot sequence cameras - no obstructions or glitches, pleasant speed, seeing the carrier group during the last sequence is neat. Traitor ending - works as designed. Debriefing - as noted by others, traitor debriefing has discrepancies between VO and text. Cutscene - plays before the mission. Campaign flow - different offences lead to different dishonorable discharges. Tech room entries - appear as advertised.

Overall status RED.

UPDATE Test Build: Hyperion (Beta 12)

Command briefing - Fixed in beta 12 Briefing - fine Objectives - clear and concise at briefing. Primary Objectives screen (F4) not updated after Nav 3 & 4 (still says a 3-point sweep), but I don't know if this is a problem. Mission flow - fine Mission paths - There is no warning or penalty for failing to follow Greywolf closely through the first few nav points; otherwise fine Wingmen behavior - Greywolf proceeds towards next navpoint and does not wait for the player; Greywolf hits his afterburners before verbally acknowledging the enemy presence at Nav 1; CAP & shuttle behave sensibly (for the 5-10 minutes I watched them) after launch; Transport & escort behave sensibly Comms (text and voice) - fixed in beta 12 Escort list entries - None, as expected Autopilot HUD - fine Autopilot sequence cameras - fine Traitor ending - no mission-specific issues (remaining text/VO mismatch issue with traitor debrief) Debriefing - win/loose debriefs are both fine; recommendations on loose/traitor are fine Cutscene - fine Campaign flow - Can't progress if Greywolf dies, as desired Tech room entries - fine

Overall status: GREEN (Beta 12)

Comment: When tried for treason, I asked my wife who is a 12 year Air Force vet about Court of Military Justice vs Code of Military Justics. She informed me that its Code, not Court in the US Military. FYI.

Command briefing GREEN Sound and animation played without incident. Words and Text match. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Briefing GREEN Briefing video played without incident. Sound and Animation were in sync with each other. Ship and Weapons tabs locked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Objectives GREEN Only one objective. It was completed upon the return to the Hermes at Nav 6. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission flow GREEN Did not see anything out of order. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission paths GREEN All possible mission paths woked proporly. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Wingmen behavior GREEN No wingman tacking orders in the mission. Graywolf preformed his flight leader duty flawlessly and died in the losing path. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Comms (text and voice) GREEN All comms played without incident. Sound and Text appear to match in all instances. However I have dyslexia so don't take my word on that. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Escort list entries GREEN None in this mission. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Autopilot HUD GREEN Worked in all instinces. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Autopilot sequence cameras GREEN No issues. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Traitor ending GREEN Voice and text match. Traitor ending initiated upon infliction significant damage to a freindly craft but not so soon as to caue problems due to accidents. Should probably use the term "Uniform Code of Military Justice". -------------------------------------------------------------------- Debriefing GREEN Winning and losing debrifings both play proporly and their recommendations work. Ace Medal awarded. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Cutscene GREEN Cutscene played without incidend. I did not have any visule or audio problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Campaign flow GREEN Advancment disalowed if mission failed. Cutsceen and command briefing sets up the situation at the start of the campaing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tech room entries GREEN Propper enteries appered after mission compleation.
