A couple ideas that don't require me modding anything really. Mini-campaigns, stuff just for the hell of it.
The two I've begun developing:
Freespace: Sol Fire
Uses: Freespace Port
STORY: It is only a year since the collapse of the Sol Jump Node. While outside the GTA and PVA rebuild their shattered remains towards a lasting peace, back home things are taking a turn for the worse.
The Vasudans stranded in Sol aren't taking to their new home so readily. Already they have banded together and begun spreading anti-human sentiments amung their people.
The GTA remnants, shattered and few, have blockaded Earth off from the rest of the Sol system. With a handful of warships and the resources of Earth below, they are settled in for a long siege.
Meanwhile, the GTI have determined this to be an opportunity to gain power and take control. Plotting, scheming and manipulating, they hope to bring about the anihilation of the Vasudan remnants and the fall of the GTA defense force.
And at the edge of the system, near the debris of the destroyed Lucifer and the collapsed node, a singular beacon, overlooked in the aftermath, has begun broadcasting a countdown. To what, can only be imagined.
INFO: The Campaign will be composed of several missions from the perspective of the original Alpha One who destroyed the Lucifer. A member of the GTA, he/she will be forced to choose between loyalty to the GTA and the tempting lure of the mysterious GTI. Vasudan fighting sprinkled in liberally. :D
There will be actually TWO paths to take in the campaign. A turning point mission will determin if you continue with the GTA or follow the path of the GTI. Two endings possible.
Freespace 2: Vasuda Rising
STORY: Two years after the Second Shivan Incursion the GTVA is rebuilding slowly but surely. However something has happened that looks to change all that once again.
Vasuda Prime, once home to the Vasudan race, has begun to change. The surface is re-shaping, the atmosphere altering, and the very foundations of the planet being remade to something radically different. GTVA scientists studying the world have determined the blasts of the mysterious Flux cannons on the Lucifer 34 years ago have had some unknown effect on the planet. The GTVA orders the world sealed off to all but the highest ranking officers and science personnel.
During a routine scan, the GTVA science team is attacked by Vasudan craft bearing no identification. Two days later, the orbiting GTCv Nightstar is sabotaged and the ship's it was escorting destroyed by unmarked bombers. Mere hours after a ground team is killed by a strafing run from an unknown fighter group.
Each attack has only one thing in common, a beacon broadcasting a single warning: "Stay away from Vasuda Prime, Holy Ground of the Destroyers."
The Hammer of Light has returned it would seem, and have declared war on the GTVA teams at Vasuda Prime. While the GTVA tries to put a stop on the attacks, the planet below continues to change in ways that have even the most experienced scientists fearing the end result. The end result could be a great discovery...or the starting point of armageddon.
INFO: A straighforward campaign. Fly for the GTVA. Fend off the HOL. Discover the mysteries of Vasuda Prime. There will be an underlying story to uncover of course (secret :drevil: ).
Anyway, just working on them in my spare time. They will be finished....whenever. Any thoughts?

:yes: :yes:

both ideas sound great. :nod:
-
Wonder which one I should do first...
-
You could be a wierdo and do the FS2 one first.. then go back and do FS1..
or not ;)
I'd do the FS1 one first.
-
Actually the first one reminds me a lot of MindGames (it's different enough to be worth doing though) so I`d probably say do the second one first.
-
the fs2 1 first
-
They both sound cool. I like.
Hex, you have a gift at writing, it seems. Perhaps not on a book scale, but you do have a certain touch with things such as what you posted above, at the very least. Make use of those skillz! :D
-
Thanks Sandwich. :D
My computer is FILLED with Universe Designs and Campaign Designs that never got used.
One day I'll have to learn modding so that I can make some of them realities. For now, minicampaign. :)
-
Oh and I've decided to start work on the first one once I get the Port downloaded and installed. :D
-
first one rocks!
The second one is interesting as well, but the first is much better by far...
-
First one. :yes:
We have far too many FS2-era campaigns, and far too few FS1-era campaigns.
-
Woohoo! Mini-camps!!!
They both sound awesome, but I'd say do the first one first. We need some more campaigns with Apollos in! (Apollos ROCK) :nod:
Definitely use the FSPort stuff, and you could get some really cool things going on there.
Good luck!:yes: :) :yes:
