The high-resolution cutscenes, or more specifically the recreated cutscenes, are an option available in the installation; these do not require Jaded's pack.  These are the options emphasized:

• Freespace Upgrade MediaVPs
• FS Port MediaVPs
• MjnMixael's Mainhalls
• HD Hud
• Jaded's HD Radar Icons
• Lafiel's RadarIcon Script
• Admiral MS' ScreenCam Script

The standard Silent Threat: Reborn installation already includes the first four of these, so it really depends on whether you want to use the last three.  Jaded's pack does not modify the missions or the difficulty level.  However, keep in mind that ST:R *is* a little more difficult than either FS1 or FS2.

Thx, I'm assuming that if I play the main FS games in order - from first to last - the difficulty curve will be so gradual I'll barely notice it in STR.  And then it's on to the harder stuff hopefully if I don't overstimulate myself and decide I never want to play another FS game again haha..

Goober:

The FSNebula page for STR said STR was updated to 1.7.3 recently, what was changed?

P.S.:  Could it get put on the Installer too if that's possible?

Thank you for your work on this.

[Goober5000]

Version 1.7.3 changes the requirements to MediaVPs 4.7.x and FSPort MediaVPs 4.7.x to ensure that both are running the same version.  Previously the minimum requirement was 4.4.x for both, but this allowed someone to be running, for example, 4.6 of MediaVPs and 4.7 of FSPort MediaVPs.  Too many people were experiencing problems due to this potential mismatch.

No actual game content was changed in the version.  FSO Installer was not updated because it is not susceptible to this particular problem.

[Goober5000]

ST:R has been updated to version 1.7.4 on Knossos and the FSO Installer.  In mission 3 (Ghosts) the Basilisks have been moved a little father away to make it easier to defend the escape pods, and in mission 14 (Chasing Shadows) the opening dialogue has been tweaked for authenticity.

[Mobius]

Can you please explain what the changes to M14's opening dialogue are about? Perhaps using the spoiler tag, if necessary.

[Goober5000]

Well, the dialogue references the All Your Base video:

In that video, the text says "Somebody" but the voice says "Someone".  In the ST:R mission, the text and voice previously both said "Someone" but now the text says "Somebody".
