Title: Welcome to SR! [Q&A]
Post by: Nyctaeus on October 07, 2020, 03:38:31 pm
Hey! I see you've noticed a new project board. Welcome to SR :]. More info is coming soon, and so far I have small Q&A.

Q: What is Series Resurrecta?
A: A series of minicampaigns set between The Great War and NTF Rebellion, covering various periods of Reconstruction. It's based on FSPort, but adds numerous fanmade ships and original soundtrack.

Q: So FS1 on steroids?
A: Pretty much yeah. Capships have dedicated anti-capital weaponry, vasudans use some T-V war designs, shivans introduce couple new classes of ships etc.

Q: What is the meaning behind the name?
A: The "Resurrected Series" (that's precisely what Series Resurrecta means, in Latin) is some sort of technical name, referencing story of two of of SR minicampaigns which started over a decade ago as INFA:SA projects. These campaigns entered a limbo and almost fell into complete oblivion, but a successful recovery effort ultimately took place. Our team subsequently upgraded both campaigns, and added numerous additional features.

Q: Who is involved in this project?
A: Series Resurrecta is original brand of the FSCRP team. Mobius is main FREDer and project leader. I'm responsible for asset work also being second in command. Admiral Nelson is providing new features, cbanims, testing, proof-reading and Knossos support. Nightmare is our internal bug-squashing individual. We also use skills of squad of testers, and writing skills of Iain Baker.

Q: What's the content of first release?
A: One campaign about Shivans, and one campaign about HoL. 14 missions in total. A summary name for the first release is Shadows of the Great War.

Q: Release when?
A: Soon. A matter of week or two. We're finishing testing stage, and we're definitely not kidding about this!

Q: Plans for the future?
A: More minicampaigns of course. At this point, another one set in the early Reconstruction is being drafted.

One campaign takes place shortly after destruction of the Lucifer. The second one is set after Hades Rebelion.

We're proud to announce that SerRes' portal on the FreeSpace Wiki (https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Category:Series_Resurrecta) has been expanded and now features 24 articles, plus 2 articles which are partially related to the project. The proofreading effort of these articles is WIP, but we've pretty much covered most aspects of the first release. Said articles will be expanded in the future.
