I have to say, having a campaign set to classical music is awesome. Thank you.

And the difficulty balance is perfect too. I mean it is nice to be played on Insane. Challenging but not frustrating.

 
Re: RELEASE: Vassago's Dirge
Wow, just finished this. Brilliant campaign.

Spoiler:
Hey, I recognize that starfield! Isn't it the one from War in Hea--AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

I'm generally not a fan of story elements that involve communication with Shivans (I prefer that they be left unknown and unknowable), but you pulled it off really well. Good job on giving us something to think about without compromising the Destroyers' mystique.

And job well done on using a Ravana as something more than a wtfhax destroyer killer that is two trebuchets away from being target practice. This campaign actually built up my appreciation for the class quite a lot.

As for mission design, great all around. My favorite was the AWACs escort mission (first mission, I think?), and it takes A LOT to make me enjoy protecting a Charybdis. :p Overall difficulty was harder than most campaigns and probably required a little clairvoyance at times, but that's forgivable. I was quite glad to see that if I went after extra beams at the first and second waypoints, that was carried over to the final.

Happy Independence Day of Liberia and the Maldives! Woooo!

Also I seemed to have released Vassago's Dirge a year ago as well. That's cool too.

In that year there have been a lot of downloads and a lot of great comments. Seeing new replies in the thread, or seeing it be mentioned elsewhere always brings a smile to my day.

So, let's celebrate with some newish content! Local HLP GOD OF AMAZING STUFF, mjn.mixael completed these very nice command brief anis that I asked for. They have been approved by me and are now available for download! (See first post)

To be able to see them, you will need to download the latest mission+tables patch plus the cbani pack. The Base download will also have the updated missions, so for those of you who haven't downloaded it yet, you just need the base download and the cbani pack.

But I'm not done there! Let's get some voice acting up in this house! See this thread for details!

Awesome CB anis are awesome :)

Looking forward to the voice acted version.

Re: RELEASE: Vassago's Dirge *Updated July 26th! CBAnis now available!*
I'm a FS2 noob and played this right after doing the mandatory stuff (FS Port, ST:R, OT and FS2 campaigns). Some of the missions I could even do on Medium (albeit most took me several attempts). Your work is amazing, bravo!

Having read about the spoons in this thread, I found one in Ossia, but then in subsequent missions forgot all about spoons as the storyline got to me (and, perhaps unwisely, assuming the spoons are not really relevant to the main plot). Thus, in the final debriefing I was judged:"What a noob!". Which I'll gladly admit I am, but I still had loads of fun. Thanks!

Vassago's Dirge was the first of what seemed to be a new wave of high-quality, well written campaigns. The production value of Vassgo's Dirge is through the roof. It's a little mini epic and I enjoy it very much.

Aye, I have confirmed this.
This error pops up using .12 final. But doesn't on a nightly build, leaving me to believe that somewhere in the update Axem accidently used a feature that isn't supported by .12

Shambler: download a nightly build, for example this one: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=77771.0 (assuming you are running under windows)
Extract and select the fs2_open_3_6_13r_INF_SSE2-20110814_r7477.exe in the launcher.
You should be able to continue playing no problem with this.
