I would, if I knew where to find it...  Maybe it's right under my nose, but I can't be bothered to look...  Well, since I should really play something other than StarCraft, give me a link, and I'll have a look:-)

*edit*

Never mind, found it in your sig.

Screenshots: you might want to refraise the one with the Deimos (You can see what the ship is [well the name at least] ) I won't spoil it though...

For some reason, when i installed this thing, the lighting got extremely dark.  

Also, I had to work for a few minutes deleting tech descriptions because the ships table was so big.

Well, sometimes when you install a MOD, you can't just put the .vp in the fs2 directory. You have to extract everything to the correct folder. The ships table is around 390kb, so hack some things out before you play.


After I installed this, I was actually a little disapointed. I mean, after the events were finished you just sudden;l saw, return to base. There were close to no messages also. I like the storyline, I think it just needs some more attention.

The VP does not have to be ripped apart. All you have to do is make sure you have no tables in your table directory. I admit the table limits have been broken, and I didn't realise that until last week. I will eventually just tell people to use the fs2_open project "to play this campaign"

:D

before doing anything, make sure you have to other mods running.  failing that, rename it to A.vp
