Yeah but the fact that it was barely referenced at all in the following series of missions and that the next few missions continued on as if it never happened didn't really make me feel anything like a sense of accomplishment.

You're right; even though we do not have a Blue Planet-esque storyline, it does not excuse us from bad writing.  We will improve upon this in our future releases.

INFR1 really wasn't all bad. I'm confident you guys will do fine.

I'm more excited for INF SCP than INFSASASFASFASFASFAS but I'm still interested to see what Mobius has done there too.

Speaking of which, BTW, Europa, Io, and Ganymede are also domed. ;7

Just kidding.

You think you can terraform the Moon with diamondium domes?  You're obviously mistaken for the Moon is way too big; diamondilium is the correct material to use!

Anyway guys, please keep up the critiques.  We will consider every single one of them when making our future releases.

 
No, you're wrong, only diamonlithium crystals have the necessary toughness.
17:37:02   Quanto: I want to have sexual intercourse with every space elf in existence
17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Naw, the material to use is clearly phlebtonium or unobtanium, extracted from improbability ether in regions of negative plot-density!

Anyway guys, back on topic.  How do you think, based on the progression of INFR1, that INF SCP should end?

Well that depends on what tone are you shooting for. Is this gonna be a ****yeah story where the humans win? Or another FS1/FS2 with a bittersweet costly ending?

If you want to go with the latter, one thing you could do is have a really grimdark realpolitik twist where the GTVA refuses to help defend Earth against an oncoming Shivan ubermenace unless the EA agrees to unconditional surrender and incorporation into the GTVA. If you wanted to be really grim about it you could actually have Earth get wasted in the end, as the price of another pseudovictory a la FS1 and FS2.

In simplest terms, I don't think the HUMANITY (AND VASUDANS) **** YEAH is a realistic option even in INF. I remember the old talk about how to kill the Gargant, and even then it wasn't really possible. I also don't see it ending with the psuedovictory either though, that'd be out of character.

There can be lesser degrees of victory than total, without being pyrrhic. The Shivans can simply pull a disappearing act again, as they have before. They can present the Alliance with something that cannot be defeated without gutting the fleet, and vice versa. A silent equality of arms, staring at each other across a jump node and knowing that neither one can afford to cross the line, would be a unique way to end.

Addressing the issue about characters - I'm probably the only member in the team who wants some of them. They'll not follow BP's style, anyway, as they will be more like Snipes, Harbison and the others.

About stuff such as terraforming the Moon: as I said this will be explained later. Describing it now would drain time and resources from necessary aspects of development. Hint hint: Hexactinellida.

No no no, no characters, characters are asswipes that waste screen time talking about themselves

They don't talk about themselves. At least not most of the time.

There will be both. Don't think of future INF missions as furballs with no strings attached.

The player character will be anonymous as always, and the others will hardly talk about their personal lives.

Captain!  My sarcasm sensor registering is off the scale!

Personally I want some character development in the INF campaign, but then again, I'm just the graphics artist.
