Trimurti is a 12-mission campaign that follows the events of Freespace 1 from the perspective of the Shivans.

Please note: This campaign can be very confusing and vague. If during any mission you feel unsure of what you are doing or how to proceed the recommendations on a failure will explain the mission in perfectly clear english.

Installation instructions:
Grab it on Knossos!

Tried getting it on knossos but I got an error saying "FS2 is missing." Also in the description it displays a bunch of strange code

[JSRNerdo]

I installed FSport to test this and it was worth it. Probably.

Also in the description it displays a bunch of strange code

This is a "feature"

[Asteroth]

Should be fixed now.

Just got it...and I just realized the weird code is shivan

[Asteroth]

So, any thoughts on this? Good or ill, especially for something as ... unconventional as this, would be very helpful.

[Nightmare]

Have you asked one of the staff members to highlight it? It seems a bit unnoticed to me.

[Asteroth]

I haven't, no. Should I have?

[Nightmare]

Releases are not as common as they once were, so your chances are good. Admitted, I haven't played it yet, but making 12 missions takes some work, and 300 views after almost 2 weeks is sad. So, yes.

[HLD_Prophecy]

So sorry I didn't see this before, it looks awesome! I always wanted a campaign like this when I was younger.

Will play!

[CapellaGoBoom]

I don't think we have ever gotten a true campaign from the shivan perspective in freespace before. Tides of Darkness explored that but we played as a former NTF pilot flying shivan ships. Trimurti was a fun little campaign with strange yet straightforward objectives. I had a bit of trouble figuring out the best course of action in some of the missions but nothing resulting in hair pulling

I recommend (if possible) we explore FS2 from the shivan POV. Maybe we can get a deeper understanding of what happened when the shivans got bosch and the "12 others" (quoting because of what was revealed in BP). That campaign would be cool IMO. Not demanding it, just sayin

As I finished Trimurti this idea, of course, played heavily on my thoughts. Would you believe that the biggest obstacle (immediately anyway) is that I've simply run out of storm-themed names for ships? The only untaken ones I believe are Tornado (undesirable because it just makes you think of the FS2 missile) and Typhoon (way too similar-sounding to Typhon, even if there's no actual relation between the words).

[General Battuta]

Whoa this looks extremely my ****

I'm sorry to fan-girl like this, but you have no idea how happy I am you've taken notice of this. Your work has been a major inspiration for me.

Damn, I haven't played a FS campaign in a while, time to break my dry spell!

The wikipedia section has a bunch of storm types that you might want to try using (check the sidebar). Some of them might be a little too human-sounding, if that makes any sense, but it's worth checking out if you haven't--there's some stuff beyond the storms everybody thinks of (Supercell is my personal fav for the Sath, btw).

Largest ship should be called a hypercane imo

Keep bothering me until I play it. I really mean this, I made bigchunk bother me every week for a YEAR until I played his campaign and it turned out to be one of my favorites ever.

[rubixcube]

Got a taste of all the missions through the Tech Room (yes I'm lazy)

Overall impressions are really positive:
Love the atmosphere, this campaign rivals Sync and BP in terms of eeriness. Like the use of fractal patters for loading screens, seems very fitting for Shivans.
Music choice for briefings is excellent as well.

Last mission gave me the chills, very well done, music was also a wonderful touch. (BTW why are the tracks called Psamtik and Aquitaine?)

I can certainly see the BP inspiration here, this could almost be BP cannon, not that that's a bad thing.
Quite like the use of storms for ships; fits with the theme of Shivans being a force of nature, calling jump nodes web tendrils was also a clever choice.

Mission design is overall solid, but will have to play more to get a better idea.

Yes, I think you'll like it 

My only criticism is the use of number sequences for Shivan dialogue, IMO it would have been better to use vague english (like some of the BP stuff), but then again maybe thats just me.

This one flew under the radar. Will check it out this weekend.
