I can't promise to get a Shivan as an interviewee, but ask your questions here and we'll try our very best to answer. :nod:

What's mission progress like?
-
Before we've released the demo, almost all of Act 1's missions were nearing completion. However, after receiving our fair share of response we've decided to do rebalance our assets, which means the missions are in the drawer for now. Luckily we won't have that much to do after we've completed that.

What is the setting for Syrk and how are the events in Syrk related to the events in freespace1 and freespace2?
-
Please refer to Syrk: The Unification Wars (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=71906.0).
Summing it up, Syrk is set prior to FS1 during the Terran Unification Wars. In-system subspace jumps are possible but jumpnodes (Delta Serpentis) have not been discovered yet. Act 1 of Syrk will focus primarily on one faction in the War, and will largely feel and play like FS1.
As for the events being related, we are trying to stick as close to cannon as we possibly can (Please bug Lucika :lol: ), and are extraporlating events and details in some places. However, Syrk is designed to be as close to cannon FS1/FS2 as possible.

How is it going to be close to "cannon" FS1/FS2 if there are Shivans
-
Nice point, that is Lucika's brainchild and as such, I can't reveal or comment much on that particular topic.
But Syrk will contain shivans (or will it?), as previously stated. Unification. Civil war. Shivans. No canon contradictions.
-
All I'm willing to reveal at this point is that there will be Shivans in the campaign, fighting the Terrans, in a way that doesn't contradict FS1 canon.
-
Any progress on that Shivan interviewee? It's nice to hear from both sides of the story...
-
All you'd hear from him would be SCREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

We're hiring interpreters who can translate from Shivanese. No previous experience required. Apply within.

Having served on the Iceni is a plus, though.
-
But how does one serve on the Iceni if this is before FS1? :P
-
Magic.
-
And/or time travel or some shenanigans involving TBP or WoD ;)
-
Magic.
A wizard did it. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AWizardDidIt)
That's why the shivans appear in Syrk.
-
Now that you mention, there is an STC Wizard in one of the missions... maybe I shouldn't get rid of it after all :P
-
What new ships will be in this campaign?
-
:eek2: i knew this day would come.
-
I am just asking a question
-
New ships are the least interesting thing about campaigns, unless you're playing campaigns just to steal their ships.
-
What new ships will be in this campaign?
None. Nope. No new ships here at all.
-
Well I am looking for new ships, but I don't steal, I ask permission first.
-
Naturally, a campaign that takes place during the Unification Wars cannot be done using canon assets only. The Fenris and the Elysium are used; the Apollo and the Orion are in the tables but are currently unused. The rest is user-made content.
-
Thank you for answering
-
How's it going around here? Still kicking?
-
not in a few weeks. lucikas been absent lately and TopAce, our best fredder and probably the pillar of the project, is busy with his own project.
-
Yeah, it's been kinda quiet lately.
-
I'm not busy anymore. However, I'd like to see real progress from the rest of the staff before undertaking some serious work on the Syrk missions.
-
Well, I'm busy 'til the end of the week, and possibly going to disappear for a week after that. But seeing activity on the forum and subforum usually makes me wanna FRED.
You (or anyone else) just post messages, and I'll get back to work.
-
I am anticipating this mod, especially the "no canon contradictions" part.
