Hey Neph,

Great work on continuing Der Bastler's stuff. OFP is perfect for a USCMC mod IMO.

Are you using the excellent Colonial Marines Technical Manual by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood? I think it's a more OFP-oriented universe than the one in the graphic novels (well-researched near-future military hardware & tactics, rather than the focus on the Alien species and genetics etc.).

I'd love to see some of the battlefield tactics described in the manual brought to life (troops using terrain masking and ECM to defeat battlefield Radar and IR systems, infra-red ghillie suits, personal IFF indicators, motion trackers etc.). DKM's work on the Tungusta's radar info-sharing could work great with this kind of stuff.

Also, Orbital Strikes would be perfect for a CoC UA/Tomahawk plugin,  and maybe the control of sentry guns and the HIMAT remote AT system could be worked into the CoC stuff somehow...

Good to hear you're still on it anyway. Cheers,

Cornhelium

Heh.. I just found my old Colonial Marines Technical Handbook today. Good stuff.

Yes. Individual-mother-farking-files!

I'm a picky son of a bitch and I hate wasting memory on stuff I don't want to use. I hate seeing something I like and being forced to use a whole lot of other junk I don't.

Say you guys release a dropship or something cool and you pack it with a 100+mb addon. Well yay for me. I can use barely anything else because of a bunch of other crap sucking up my ram.

The point is. Mods in the traditional sense for OFP, suck. There's no need for them. The beauty of the addon is that you don't need to have all or none. I might as well be playing bloody halflife what with all the mods these days.
