I'll take a mission 8 from camp. 2.
It looks like there will be big capship battle

[karajorma]

If you take mission 8 you have to take mission 7 (or at least wait for someone to make it first).

Red alerts are fun to make but you have to get the same person to make both so that the ships match up.

[mr.WHO]

Ok, it's even better ( I need to wait anyway), I'll wait to the weekend, if somebody will not take mission 7 , I'll take both.

[AqueousShadow]

Lol, I'm being beaten to everything

I guess I'm stuck with mission 3 then. Now, one question: Is the Bosch a Deimos class corvette or what? Cuz I'm kinda lost on the whole "the Bosch" thing.

I'll start on the mission now.

[freespacegundam]

I'll give mission 5 for campaign 1 a shot.  What class of cruiser is the Perilous?

And Aqueous, it should be Deimos, NTF wouldn't use anything else.

[GoulMeister]

its an iceni class frigate

[AqueousShadow]

Well, I forgot to mention one thing. Why was it put that the ship is the GTCv Bosch...Isn't it the NTF Bosch? And are you sure it's an Iceni?

Oh, and I ran into a problem with making my mission: How do you get ships to do things after they have reached their waypoint? Like, I have the Tetrarch transports going to a waypoint, and once they have completed they're waypoints, I want them to dock, one by one, to the NTF ship. How can I do this?

[Akalabeth Angel]

Perilous is a Fenris Cruiser.

Everyone who is working on the retail campaign (campaign 1), click on the link in the spoiler in the other thread and read the page or so of fluff.

Perilous = Fenris
Damocles = Iceni Class

EDIT - my bad, it's at the start of this thread. Here it is for your convenience: http://www.swooh.com/peon/BlackWolf/Archives/Damocles.htm

Heh... This is getting to look like fun... Anyone mind if a seasoned FREDer takes up an extra one? I'm thinking the last one of #3...

I think it's:

When
-waypoints done delay
- -trapsport/path/time
-Add goal
--Transport
--Ai dock
---NTF Ship
---whatever

for one by one, see the shipyard-completed walkthrough part on sequential docking...

huh?

I've finally finished my mission. However, I have not play-tested it yet, but I will do so tomorrow before posting it. I have one last question.

The mission is sort of hard to fail...and since it's a stealth mission, how can I get the player to fail the mission if they, say attack one of the ships, or get too close to one of the fighters? This would complete my mission. Thanks.

[NGTM-1R]

The reason it's a Deimos is because we were given the name "NTCv Bosch" for it. The Iceni uses an NTF designator, but Neo-Terran corvettes use NTCv.

So, IS it an Iceni? I'm rather confused...and to be honest, blowing up the Iceni-lookalike so early in the campaign seems a little off...

[Akalabeth Angel]

My question is, because the Iceni was a unique ship in canon FS2 understanding, does the NTF designation stand for Neo-Terran Front or does it stand for Neo Terran Frigate?

Based on the GTVA Colossus I would guess the former.  Unless GTVA Colossus stands for Galatic Terran-Vasudan A**kicker. But probably not.

[karajorma]

Sorry about the Iceni confusion that's my bad.

[V] used the designation NTF Iceni which I hadn't noticed so when I noticed NTF I changed it to NTCv. I probably should have changed it to NTFg which is less ambiguous but pushes the Iceni into the unofficial Frigate class (Which is probably where it should go anyway). I don't particularly like NTF Iceni much since NTF is the designation for fighters too.

The ship however is definately meant to be Iceni class. Sorry for any confusion caused.

[AqueousShadow]

I wonder how that will affect my mission...changing from Deimos to Iceni...

[TopAce]

The Iceni is a more powerful one ... Balance issues.

Ah, but FS2 explicitly refers to it as "Bosch's command frigate".  Thus the frigate designation is canon. I'm fine with Fg to distinguish it from F, though... that's what we're using in TVWP.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Just on beams alone, the Iceni has 3 BGreen while the Deimos has 4 Terran Slash. It's a considerable difference. Also note that the Iceni has a really stupid weapon setup. Weapons are non-symmetrical and placed in different types of turrets. I recommend that anyone using the ship in their mission change the weapon setup around with the ship editor.

[GoulMeister]

How about Ff or Fi
