A campaign or hypothasized about the lag period between FS1 and FS2? If not id like to start a new campaign set in the late 2340's or 2350's about FS2.

I've considered doing a campaign showing the GTA cleaning the shivans out after the lucifer was destroyed. The next logical step would be to show what happened after that and up to the beginning of fs2. Probably the best way to do it is the make the mod in fs2 and change the weapons on the cap ships in fred to reflect the tech level of that time i.e. the bastion isnt going to have beams right after the lucifer jumps out.
I'm interested though

But there's no conflict during this period. What would you be doing? Would you just escort ships without an engagement?

Actually check up on the tech room, right after the Great War, you had to deal with the scattered Shivan fleets. Then after the Hades rebellion came the disolution of the GTA into the Terran blocs...
Edit: Can't forget that Khonsu had to fight his way past a corrupt Imperium to disolve the traitorus Parliament of Vasuda...
Lots 'o conflict! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I recall a campaign made for FS1 that involved a 'patrolman' who was alpha one, getting assigned to a real fighter squa, then the destroyer you're on getting charged with treason, all the while a subplot to the vasudans taking control of a new world...
Anyone else play that?

Operation Templar.
Not much happened between the two games, just lots of rebuilding (lots). But there's nothing that says the GTVI wasn't up to something during the intermission.
Now I'll have to post "Blood and Guts." Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll get made in spite of itself.

I know there is a method, but all I see is madness.

I did. good mission

Ok im going to attempt one, i think this s a radical new twist to FS2, it wont need 50 new ships and new stuff, because its a prequel. I think this in itself should be enough for the community!!
Ok so i played around tonight and extraced about 400 interface files from fs1 to fs2, right now i have the FS1 Main hall, many of the menu's and a new HUD which i didnt make. However much of it needs work, i need to get my hands on a FS1 mainhall or equivalent table, hint hint, if any one has this email me please at [email protected]. i need to change the animation cooordinates. I also need to fix the HUD, FS2s hud is slightly higher than FS1,s.
Now as far as that goes, The story will revolve around rebuilding of the galaxy, the eventual peace process leading to Betacq. A young rising officer named Aken Bosch will play a large role in this story. He's kinda like a Anakian (did i spell it right) Skywalker, we know he's gonna turn evil eventually but the game doesnt (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) I'd like to have factions like these terran blocks and PVA. But I'm thinking the HOL wasn't dealt with fully was it? They may have a large role in this story.
Does this sound like a good campaign idea???

I really dont have time to make a siggy right now

When the shivans were vanquished, the HOL had no reason to exist anymore, I think it collapsed by itself.
Anyway it sounds very interesting (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I thought he was talking about The Destiny of Peace ("http://archives.volitionwatch.com/fs1/missions/campaigns.php3?Cmp=The%20Destiny%20of%20Peace"). I loved that campaign, definitely one of the best. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

give me a some time to get my new comp running cause I have some FRED1 experience and it shouldnt be too hard to learn the new stuff in fred2

I remember a while ago I e-mailed (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif) and asked them if they could make a campaign about what happened between the two games. (this was a very long time ago infact.) They just said that there was a lot of rebuilding and exploring. Nothing about shivan remnents though. Most of the stuff you guys are talking about they told me.

Never played templar.
Sounds more like the destiny of peace.

there was never a Gigas, or a Karnak or SSD Diablo or Sons of Capella. Your point? User campaigns arent canon. As long as it reasonable ie another 10 lucifers pop up, we shouldnt hear complaints. After the Bastion launched all those fighters, all the Shivans self destructed?

I just created a brand new bluish interface for FS2, after colorizing and adding flavor to 150 megs of 100k a piece pcx files. The new loadout is Vped at only 24 megs (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) i bet i can compress it for Dl even more. It uses the old FS1 cursors and loading screens while making a transition to fs2 easier.
I just added all the fs1 ships and soon the old weapons. The campaign will have no NEW ships but NEW OLD ones like the never made before GTF-Angel! and 1 or two more. This campaign will be very short 10-15 missions, but its a mini campaign. One of many installments. Because we know bosch was a fighter pilot during the GW it can be summed that he had commmand of his own wing for a time being before his latter promotions. The first campaign introduces us to Commander Bosch Ace fighter pilot in the GTA. His squadron will participate in the Joint T-V effort to clean up space and maintain the armistice. However, the folks who started the T-V war are still there and undiscovered (not GTI) what secrets do they hold, what do they plan next??
thats it i hope this sounded halfway cohesive and sold you guys!

Not entirely sure, but I think someone did something on this. Probably Venom. It was never released, but I definitely remember seeing an Angel somewhere.
