What about a treb strike on the Solaris's weapons subsystem?  That'll probably render the PD mostly useless, and perhaps let Stilleto's get through to take out turrets & the engine subsystem.  As for the fighter screen... ummm... more trebs?   :nervous:

Agreed. The answer to all problems is always more trebs.

 No no, here's what to do: modify Watchdogs to launch Trebs, then deploy them everywhere while the Ds keep each other busy. Guaranteed to be a near critical waste of resources, but the look on the SecCouncil representative would be hilarious.

Better yet, let's modify an AWACS to do it. The Feds will never see it coming. :D

AWACS - foddership

 ;)

E: I wouldnt mind seeing interaction with the GEFs, maybe even a couple of missions as them, or with GTVA stealth craft on oversight.

But also more of a Vasudan point of view would be interesting, even if it is just in the form of the Fiction Reader.

What are some GTVA missions that could take place during Tenebra?

(Sorry for the bump, I guessed it would be better to do this than create a whole new thread)

Re: What missions would you have in a GTVA WIH campaign?
Now that I've read this, I've thought of a Tev mission in a Pegasus that looks like the following:

Primary Objectives:
-- TAG the Hanuman
-- Carthage must survive
In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed.

 
Re: What missions would you have in a GTVA WIH campaign?
that mission is not going to be the most complex, unless you made it into her finest hour: tev edition
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Im not sure what the treb hype is about, I can evade them easily without afterburners countermeasures (derp) and most missions still kick my ass, making me feel like a newb.

Simply that the AI doesn't dodge trebs very well, and if you treat the AI as being a "standard pilot"...

Re: What missions would you have in a GTVA WIH campaign?
Trebs aren't a big deal as long as you have the time to focus on them. They are, however, really punishing for players who haven't honed their missile dodging skills, which we try to be sensitive of when designing missions.

GTVA missions for tenebra?
- SOC smash and grab mission on a UEF station to get Elder Henriksson to safety (prior to Everything is Permitted)
- SOC obtaining an artifact that contains the intelligence for Eye in The Storm, possibly in uncharted system, the enemy can be Vishnans here, or just plain Shivans is fine.
- Raid on the Kostadin Cell
- Various Hammer of Light crackdown missions

There should be an early SOC mission to win over the help of the Kostadin cell, perhaps by stealing from Greenfly or something, in Scimitars.

Re: What missions would you have in a GTVA WIH campaign?
Here's some ideas for GTVA missions.
- "Rite of Passage" - Protect the Meridian battlegroup as it assaults Normandy Station over Neptune.
- "Seize the Knight..." - Lead a squadron of bombers in a (futile) attack against the Toutatis.
- "...Sacrifice the Rook" - RED ALERT: Defend the GTD Requiem from a 3rd Fleet ambush.
- "Shadowplays" - Using a Pegasus stealth fighter, gather information on the Jovian forces in Jupiter.
- "His Finest Hour" - Defend the Atreus as it launches it's attack against Artemis Station.
- "The Price of Victory" - Destroy the Jovian evacuation convoys before they can escape to Federation controlled space.
- "Proving Ground" - Attack the Federation forces orbiting Luna in order to allow the Meridian to move into position to bombard the Moon's industrial plants.
- "The Darkest Dawn" - Basically the Alliance's perspective of the events of "Darkest Hour".
- "Barriers to Entry" - Break through the 2nd fleet blockade of Neptune during the events of "Aristea" by delivering enough damage to the Eris to force it to retreat.
- "Hannibal's Gambit" - Escort the Imperieuse until she jumps to Saturn, make sure that no Federation forces that stumble upon her escape to warn the Wargods of her presence in the system.
- "The Siege of Mycenae" - Repel 2nd and 3rd Fleets' diversionary attack on the Alliance forces over Jupiter during the events of "Delenda Est".
- SOC Loop 1 - "Secret Agent Man" - Rescue Elder Henriksson from the Fedayeen.
- SOC Loop 2 - "Keep Your Friends Close..." - Retaliate against Kostadin Cell's betrayal by destroying one of their shipyards and capturing one of their cell leaders, revealing to the Alliance MacDuff's ultimate plan.
- SOC Loop 3 - "...But Your Enemies Closer" - Basically "One Future" from Tenebra except it's the Alliance that foils MacDuff's plan to destroy the Earth with a massive fighter attack. Not completing "Keep Your Friends Close..." and/or leaving the SOC Loop results in the events of "One Future" unfolding as they did in the main WiH campaign. One way to make this mission more interesting is to be given a choice between accepting the Vindicator's help when it arrives or drive it off and completing the mission on your own.
- "Hannibal's Lament" - Defend the Carthage from the overwhelming Federation attack during the end of "Her Finest Hour" until you're overwhelmed (either you get shot down or the Carthage surrenders).
- "Enemy at the Gate" - Repel 3rd fleet's harassment attacks on the Delta Serpentis jump node.
- "The Vengeance Cometh" - Escort the Vengeance to Jupiter.

Skipping the "Cog of War" that was Alpha 1, I would like to see a TEV WIHish narative of a pilot on a Dio.  Maybe with their own Nagiri, author's choice.  An antithesis of Laporte.
