hmmm, ok. Polaris it is!
Now for the extened campaign, ive got a NTF corvette (NTCv Arckangel) jumping out, and the player is facing away from the ship (it seems it's the best i can do. too bad there isnt a warp out before mission starts option like the explode before mission starts s-exp).
So you can have some more missions where you have to take down the corrvette. The subspace communicater could also be actually on the correvtte and not on the Damocles, and command sends in a SOC strike team (including you) to disable and capture the corvette/communicater.
(even after the capture of the corrvette, you could twist the storyline somemore, eg, heavy unexpected NTF resistance, running trying to get back, it's a bit like homesick)
wut do you say?
