Disagreed. 10 thousand years ago the humans where a bunch of Neolithic tribes that scantly knew how to use a bow. Even if detected by scans what could the odds be of them developing into a space faring nation. 

The Ancients aren't the Shivans. They don't classify things as threat levels and ignore the lesser threats, they just destroy or subdue everything they come across. Think of it as the British Empire, the savages weren't a threat at all to the homeland, yet they still went and invaded.

[ShadowGorrath]

Exactly like the Ancients

Luckily, as I said, they don't even know Sol exists.

Well, I have a mixed view on this. Say the Lucifers did come in. Now, the Aincients discovered ( Too late ) that the shields are disabled in-subspace. That could be the final mission, as the Lucifers are coming through, you detonate it, sealing off the Aincients from everybody. That could open the premise for a sequel, where the Aincients can finally make it out of their isolation pocket, and meet the GTVA, and assist them against the Shivans?

I Got to page 9 of this topic, so this might have been already.

Alright... Due to the lack of support, and a low amount of time I have, I am canceling the Ancient-Shivan War for a more simple mod. The new mod will be the Terran-Terran War, which will show 10 pilots from a Deimos class corvette, hunt down pirates. You will have to track them all over the GTVA systems, while they always slip past the mighty GTVA fleets. The pirates will send hundreds of waves of fighters and bombers, and you will have to protect your Deimos from it. Until the pirates become rebels and start the New NTF ( NNTF )!

Here is a spoiler for the first mission:

Spoiler:

Alright, first of all, the statement up there is NOT true. The Ancient-Shivan War is still going, and will be going until I release it, no matter what! Expect a progress update soon.

Oh, and by the way, there's a hidden screenshot in this post. Just note that the ship there is still pending it's entry into the mod, as I don't know what people reactions and the reactions of the members of the mod team are. So it may change. Oh, and the name of the ship is different, so ignore the text on the image.[/u]

Spoiler:

Is that one TrashMan sized or OTT sized?

[ShadowGorrath]

OTT sized. Otherwise I'd have no use for it...

And damn, you spoiled the fun 

[Snail]

Kfine I put spoiler tags around it.

[Droid803]

Actually, it makes a good frigate if its not

Spoiler:

OTT sized...

[Colonol Dekker]

Don't kill the mod i was lookgh forward to it.

[ShadowGorrath]

It's already dead! Muawhahahahaha!

Ok, just joking.

Seriously, I need another Ancient destroyer. That ship would fit fine. All I'd need to do is reduce the amount of turrets ( which I have no idea on how to do that, and I really need to reduce the amount of turrets cause it has MORE of them than the juggernaut ), and add a hangar bay ( which shouldn't be too difficult ).

[Snail]

Just give the turrets useless blobs or something. Make it a heavy point-defense ship good at clearing out fighters.

[ShadowGorrath]

It's armed with Ancient Light Turrets, and it is an escort destroyer for now to clear fighters/bombers and light capital ships. Exactly what you just posted. Yet, it still has much more turrets than the juggernaut... 73 compared to somewhere around 40. If I remember right.

[Droid803]

Open it in PCS2 and delete turrets. That always works.

Why don't you put the mod on hold, get a lot of experience, get a team and then come out with a project similar to TVWP?

Am I fool if I want this to be a great mod?

[ShadowGorrath]

Actually, I kinda have a team now. And I am gaining experience most of the time by browsing HLP, the FSWiki and just fooling around with random stuff. What I need experience mostly in is FREDing, so that's why I am making small mission for myself.

Though there's always room for more people.

[Snail]

And putting this on hold will make it a great mod how?

[General Battuta]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that would put this thing into the same state of hibernation that's swallowed up so many other big projects. It doesn't take a big team to make a great mod -- reference Blue Planet.

[ShadowGorrath]

There are lots of mods and/or campaigns that have been made by a single person though.
