Hey, I liked the Great War 2: Part 2 and the SOC campaign!  I don't understand why people are so against this "Battle of Endor" syndrome; of course you can't make a whole campaign out of it, but a mission or two like that is really fun to play in.  Even if you end up watching the events unfold more than participating in them, it's still a fun diversion.  I remember one part during GW2:P2 when a captured Sathanas, several Mjolnirs, and a Hecate and Hatshepsut with BFReds were all targeting the same Shivan ship at the same time.  That is the true definition of "owned."  True, the campaign was kind of cheesy and had a massive amount of huge capships/battles, but it was admittedly fun to play through.  Not every mission has to focus on "Alpha 1, the demigod," you know .

I totally agree. I love the screenshot!

However, large cap-ship battles don't have to be BoE or B-Campaigns, just to clarify that.

And yes, that is the TRUE DEFINITION OF OWNED. Pwned? Maybe. Owned, definate.

I like BoE Missions, but they must agree with the campaign and not that you have suddenly a BoE Mission.

The worst Campaign i played, was Vortex i don't like this Campaign

Vortex? Never played it.

The worst campaign I ever played was Invasion.

SGW: P2 was cheesy and stupid, but it was entertaining, and above all (in a wierd way), creative.

Plus, it has the retro-n00b feel we all love to hate, and for some reason, love to play

It's funny that, as much as we say we hate the noob missions with tons of capital ships, these are the ones that are often the most enjoyable, in a simple way .

Some really poor FS1 campaign (demo, really) with voice acting for the player.  i.e. it sounded like Duke-Nukem in space, and not in a good way.

The Jake Wars
Gateway


(Those are the two outstanding ones when I think of campaigns that 'did not work as they should have.')

I dunno. Anyone play/make any B-missions they'd like to tell us about?

[Fergus]

Millenium, ahhh yes I know that one.   Watch Colossus kill Sathanas.  Then watch Colossus kill another Sathanas (I wonder whats next?).  Thats right watch a Collosus kill a Sathanas.

By the way I am a n00b mission maker, but I have never made a mission with lots of cap-ships, or with any super ships.  Hmm maybe I'm just odd.  Perhaps it's gonna come screaming out of me soon.

[Fergus]

No wait I lie, I did do a test mission (no Sexp's or events) with a Colossus and added enemy cap-ships and bombers.  Sort of to test what would happen in that kind of engagments and how Alpha could get involved.

Millenium sucked big time. Most B-Campaigns are at least fun to play...but not this one. The Fred Academy should make its members play that campaign just to see what NOT to do.


P.S.

Welcome to the world of FREDing, Fergus! Do you have any missions up for download?

EDIT: Testing is a good idea. I made dozens of test missions just to find out what did what. Sometimes, test missions can evolve into stand-alone missions, too (rarely good missions, but if you're lucky, who knows).

[Kie99]

Well I've made a mission called battletest which is available on the missions page of HLP, where you make 2 ships beat the crap out of each other using FRED without permanent circling.

If anyone's interested don't download the .zip one it doesn't work, download the .fs2 and .txt readme files separately
