[WIP/Teaser] Vega must burn (formerly "Secret April Project")
0rph3u5:
Updated 4/21/2019
Vega must burn will put you aboard the PVD Hope, of Freepsace 1 and Silent Threat: Reborn-fame. The Hope has been tasked to prepare Vega for the upcoming muster of several PVN battlegroups. However what planners back on Vasuda Prime envisioned as a pause to resupply and reorganize several, previously seperated battlegroups befor further fighting along Antares-Vega-Deneb-Line, will soon be know as one of blodiest defeats the Parliamentary Vasudan Navy has ever known.
But Vega must burn is not just about that. As the Hammer of Light strikes, you will have a choice:
- Do you stand with PVD Hope to deny the Hammer of Light complete victory?
- Will you make sure the PVC Adamant delivers the news of the ambush to the GTA fleet in Antares?
- Or is your alliegance already with the Hammer of Light?
Vega must burn will have three distinct endings depending on your choices and performance. The end to this battle might be written, but your part in it is not.
ps. I know there is another campaign in development that might want to tackle this episode, Vasudan Imperium. I honestly thought that project was dead, but it has recently resurfaced. I don't want to the discourage the people behind that project. More perspectives are always a good thing!
If you have time check out their work :yes:

So for the fun of it I tried translating it (using Walking on Ashes as reference), here's what I got.

Also if I may a second try, but I went back to the first teaser and came out with this.

First WIP-Screenshots for public consumption - 4/9/2019
Edit: Just clarify, those hostiles on the radar are not Terrans.
I know that's not the most up-to-date Leviathan-model.
April 2019 Screenshot Contest Submission 1&2 - 4/11/2019
--- Quote from: 0rph3u5 on April 11, 2019, 08:18:50 am ---Submission 1:
The GTC Newfoundland in the Vega-System (from Vega must burn) - The Fenris/Leviathan was the first captial ship players encountered (chronologically) and remains a popular staple.
Submission 2:
A Shivan strike wing (from Vega must burn). Some Shivan designs never go out of style :)
--- End quote ---
So, who wants to take a guess at what I am cooking up?
--- Quote from: 0rph3u5 on April 13, 2019, 05:09:17 pm ---10 of 21 in 22
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: 0rph3u5 on April 18, 2019, 10:23:49 am ---I don't want to "mystery box" this too much, but just solving this riddle is would be just wrong.
So here is a clue to help you solve:
"It keeps the company of a Hanged Man, a pair of Lovers and the Devil."
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: The_Force on April 18, 2019, 01:58:30 pm ---10 of 21 is the Wheel of Fortune I believe but i cant work out what the in 22 means
--- End quote ---
I am the judge so I am going to count that - because that's the answer I've been looking for.
Full explaination:
The Major Arcana of Tarot are 22 cards; however "The Fool" has either the number 0 or, in some decks, no number, which makes the higest numbered card "The World" with 21. The tenth card of the Major Arcana is indeed "The Wheel of Fortune".
The italian name for the "The Wheel Fortune"-card is "La Ruota della Fortuna", which is also the name of a mission in the Freespace 1 campaign, sm2-03a.
Colt:
Ohhhh, more goodies. :D
Spoiler:Well, seems to be Great War era or shortly after with the weapons/PVN designation. As for that last photo, maybe a Levi using an Aten as cover to sneak around the medical ship?
Non Terran hostiles? I'm gonna go with maybe an HoL hijacking of that med ship.
I'll attempt a translate of the new text when I get the opportunity. :yes:

Tried to fit the image itself into the spoiler brackets, but I don't think it works. So have this link.
Nightmare:
You can use
--- Code: ---[hidden]

for that kind of stuff.

You copied a mistake from Colt before - he you got the "V" right by an educated guess but was were wrong on one other letter.
EDIT: my mistake of not reckonizing that it was you both times. :banghead:
