I would like your opinion on the possibility that the United Earth Armada has the capability to defeat the GTVA Fleet just to drive them away from Sol.

* The UE doesn't have beam cannons - ok, they've got railguns that can easily destroy beam turrets because of their accuracy.
* The GTVA can't afford to muster their entire forces to Sol as they've got other things to do.
* GTVA pilots might be demoralized after learning the secret super-GTVA fleet had been reduced to shreds.
* Earth has warning that the GTVA is coming.
* The GTVA have to enter the Sol node first, and if the Sol node is blockaded on the other side, the GTVA will be forced to sustain heavy casulties or damage.

Well, if the new GTVA ships (the ones from StratComm's fleet pack that have blue beams) are widespread, then the UE is basically screwed. Those blue beams are teh evil. But from what I've seen it appears the GTVA only deploys older ships like the Perseus and Deimos, so it may be that the new GTVA ships were only in that super fleet.

But either way my money is on the GTVA.

[Stormkeeper]

My money is on the UE, because unless I miss my guess, ALPHA ONE is on their side.

[Snail]

Well it won't have any story if it all goes to plan.

OR...


The UE could get defeated and Alpha 1 goes on to lead a resistance movement.

I love guerrilla warfare, it makes me all giddy and stuff.

[Snail]

Or the Vishnans and Shivans come and kick everyone's ass.

[Harbinger of DOOM]

Bah, I hate Deus Ex Machina.

I wanna see if the Zods come in on the UE side. I mean the Zods seem fairly honorable, so they prolly wouldn't stand for the kind of garbage Command is pulling.




O' course I could be wrong.

[Harbinger of DOOM]

...on the other hand, I haven't played a Zod-killin' campaign in a while.


Who knows? It might satisfy my savage, uncontrollable blood lust for awhile.......

[Snail]

Bah, I hate Deus Ex Machina.

Then go play INFR1.

[Harbinger of DOOM]

Already did. I'm bored, and I need entertainment!

[Snail]

Uhh, go play Deus Ex Machina again?

[Jeff Vader]

There may be an unwritten agreement about not mentioning "it" ever again, but...

Go play Second Great War Part 2. Then you'll truly learn to appreciate things like INFR1 and Deus Ex Machina again.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Uhh, go play Deus Ex Machina again?

Play JAD:TIT.

[NGTM-1R]

If we were including the Vasudans, I would unequivocally say GTVA. But we may not be, so...

[eliex]

The Vasudans are . . . respectful. They represent the values of a middle-ages Knight from my view. I guess that the Vasudans are under the impression that the Terrans react the same way as a Vasudan towards Vasuda Prime. Probably the Vasudans wouldn't help at all or just a minimal force.

So it's virtually Terrans of the GTVA  against the Terrans of Sol?

[blowfish]

There are Vasudans involved

[eliex]

NICE!! 

This is really going to make an interesting turn for the war.

A loss of communication leads to disaster

[Droid803]

There are Vasudans involved

EXTRA BUMPY VASUDANS!

(referring to the overexaggerated bump map)

EXTRA BUMPY VASUDANS!

(referring to the overexaggerated bump map)

Yeah, that will be improved in the next MVP release.  I've seen screenshots, but can't really find any...

EDIT: And for the record, that's a normal map.

[Vidmaster]

The UE could get defeated and Alpha 1 goes on to lead a resistance movement.

or Alpha 1 DIES at the end of the campaign!

AND YES, THERE IS ALREADY ONE CAMPAIGN WHERE THE PLAYER DIES AT THE END, SO THAT'S DEFINITLY POSSIBLE!!!
