Author Topic: Battle for Deneb  (Read 15346 times)

Something ive always been curious about is that in FS2 opening scene is the Battle for Deneb, big battle, lotta capships, lotta fighting.

But we never saw that battle in FS1. How come?

Is there a fan-made mission or campaign where we can play this mission?

We didn't see it because the pilot was elsewhere, and there's no fan made version as far as I'm aware.

I believe there is a model of an orion with a big ******* hole in it. I think it was called like GTD Orion (Deneb) or something.
I thought I saw it on the Hades Combine, but I cant find it.

It'd make a nice single mission.  With the FS Port materials and some hard work on balancing and whatnot it would definitely be doable.  Big battles like that are still hard to do.

I made a basic version of the Battle of Deneb once. Has anyone here actually tried? It's not difficult to set up a BoE... the only *****y thing is playtesting, like any complicated sort of mission. In a mainly cinematic mission like this, it shouldn't be a concern.

What I'm curious about is the whole GTD Legion thing. Everyone says that it's the GTD Legion getting holed in the intro, yet FS1 command briefs state that only the Bastion and Galatea are in Deneb. Where did this idea come from? FS2 ref bible?

And yes, the GTD OrionHoled can be found in a few campaigns. It's featured in Transcend.

The community named it the GTD Legion, after it was definitively said by :v: (I don't remember where) that the destroyer getting holed in the intro was not the Galatea. (And it was certainly not the Bastion, for obvious reasons.)

I thought someone (IceFire? @_@) asked :v: if it was the Legion and the guy said "call it that if you want"...

Or am I getting this mixed up?

Legion Hulk that's the name (or was it Orion hulk)?

Sorry Trash, but the NTF making the Legion into a base just doesn't seem feasible to me.

Don't see why... a warhip hulk is a perfect place for a secret base..it allreadyd has lots of equipemnt and materials..not to mention a fighterbay. You only need to get a small portion of it up and running.

Who says? It's been blown up and it's 32 years old without being maintained.

Whatever, 'twas a good campaign anyway.
