Sure, I can do that for you. The e-mail is on its way.

Oh Man! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better... it does!
Ponterbee Station V.2 is here! I downloaded it got well into it suddenly realising that; no, the streetlights were not getting brighter outside, the sun was coming up and I'm supposed to be up at 6:30!!!
Oh well, no rest for the wicked, fraggin' great to slap an ammo clip into an AR and let rip against a new enemy!
To be honest, I let my guard down near the end when I entered Engineering to override core control. Once done I left encountering a couple of servo droids along the way (no biggie) then Shodan turns up cackling herself stupid which I did not see coming as this did not happen in V.1 and I almost lept out of my skin! There's no shame in confessing that is one friggin' scary opponent!:eek:
That being said, thank Grud the Colony was made larger (Yayy!) must remember not to leave Ponterbee Station without an Anti-Rad Suit. Once I read the message from a deceased crew member of the Colony I started to wonder if there was a way back to Ponterbee (would be nice if there was, or is it just me?:cheeky: ) Still, the anti-rads and psionic environment dampening worked but would have preferred a Anti-Rad Suit!:erg:
One thing I did notice was that upon arriving at the Colony the sky seemed to be a bland colour of solid magenta (a missing texture or did I install this incorrectly?) Other than that, all seemed fine.
Overall I had fun and can't wait for a sequel!:thumb:
P.S. One thing that could be added is right at the end where you pass a broken window on your way to detonating Ponterbee Station. Why not have a body lying outside on the ledge with a security code that you would need to unlock the self-destruct mechanism in the control room?

One more thing...
Ducks, lots and lots and lots of ducks!
If ever there was anything worth discovering it's the cargo hold full of ducks!:wot:
Wouldn't mind for another cargo hold full of Teddy Bears!!!:cheeky:
Yes, I fully agree with the poor chap about going mad, I almost did, had to slap myself twice just so I knew I was not hallucinating!:laff:

That's not right. The sky is supposed to be starry and cloudy. And, uh... animated.
Yeah, apparently animated skyboxes ARE possible in SS2!
Sirius6b-Junior on 17/2/2006 at 01:12
That it was in V.1 but not in V.2.
ZylonBane on 17/2/2006 at 01:23
No, the skybox was not animated in V1.
Sirius6b-Junior on 17/2/2006 at 01:28
No? Thought it was, there was some kind of skyline there, not animated but it was there showings stars, etc.

I play black-ops guy with amplified psi skill this time. Something kind of "wizard" in sci-fi environment. I like the way he is able to alter reality by his mere thoughts. Ponterbee looks very proffessional, but what is more important-it plays GREAT! Big THANK YOU from Czech Republic to all people involved in creating this FM!!!:thumb:

Me again. Just can´t stop playing. Thank you once more Christine (is a girl really creating missions for sci-horror PC game or is that just a surname?) for reminding me how amazing game SShock2 is. Ponterbee is exactly what I needed! I enjoy it at least as much as original levels, the only "trouble" being the Station is too large and complex (but I think it can be forgiven:cheeky: ) to get oriented in without automap. I finally managed to get to first elevator, exploring hydroponics a bit now. I *LOVE* THIS FM!!:thumb:
