Blue Planet: The Battle CaptainsThis is addictive and engaging. The difficulty's in exactly the right spot and it's fun to try out different tactics... - I like how the situation incentivizes you to get right up close with the Leviathans and eat their hurt in the name of keeping the transports alive. Narrative-gameplay assonance!
This mission feels very FS2. It does a great job of capturing the gameplay atmosphere - the slower ROF and more direct tactics. And I loved the little bits of narrative. The failure debrief in particular will certainly be provocative to certain Steele fans
Blue Planet: The Battle Captains tells to story of two the great battle captains of the age, whose commanding prowess has shaped the war in Sol:
-Anita Lopez and the GTD Carthage cover the GTVA's retreat from the nebula, while holding back overwhelming Shivan attacks.
-Cyrus Severanti captains the GTCv Steadfast, defending Luzon Station from an NTF assault, staying in command despite heavy personal injury.
Battle Captains has now been updated to work with current FSO builds and MediaVPs as well as been fully voiced!
