The EOTP "There, but for the grace of God" Campaign is a total conversion set in the Echoes of the Past, Visions of the Future universe.
The campaign is set at the start of the war between the League of Sol and the Terran Coalition. The Campaign begins with your character, being a reservist in the TC Fighter Command, flying a standard patrol route....and stumbling on the outside fringe of the invasion force.
I am currently creating the missions using the existing ships as placeholders, and will switch them into the newly created ships as they are completed.
I currently need mission balance testers, a number of voice actors (both male and female), a texture artist, and a briefing specialist.
While I already have a modeler signed up, I'd be grateful for any additional modeling assistance.
I feel the Total Conversion could be completed by early Janurary if the right people fall into place.
Some more information on the EOTP Universe -
In the 21st century, economic crisis and fighting between nations gave rise to the World Society, a new political movement that plunged the world into war. As the Society emerged victorious, millions of people from the free nations of the world took to the stars in an attempt to escape the Society’s tyranny, eventually settle on the Earth-like planet of Canaan.
Over 350 years have passed since the exodus. The free humans of Canaan have spread across the stars, creating a prosperous union of interstellar nations under the banner of the Terran Coalition. Humanity is on the rise.
But now, a dark force has come from the past to threaten their prosperity. The League of Sol, descendants of the World Society, has arrived to complete the work of their ancestors: conquer all who oppose their rule. In response, the Coalition has rallied its best to war. It is the 25th Century, and the battle for the future has begun.
Join the saga of Echoes of the Past...Visions of the Future in a fight against great evil that involves dozens of races, spans centuries and reaches across light years. Join a fight that can never end... for if we abandon our posts, who then will stand?

I should have missions 1-4 of the Campaign completed with in-house testing before monday. Using the placeholder ships, but the new ships being modeled will have for the most part the exact same weapons loadouts and what have you.
Would really appricate some folks stepping up to help me test it out. :)

Sounds like an interesting idea. Unfortunately I've got too much on my plate at the moment to do any work for it but keep it going.
-
I`m not trying to be mean or smart but. :)
Your ideas are great and your story line is good, but if it wasen`t for me finding your site here, at HLP, an FS2 website there is no way I would have known it was for Freespace 2..
You may want to update your homepage.
Cheers.

Ah; well, see, EOTP is not "for" Freespace 2, per say. :)
That website is kind of temporary as well.
The idea though is that EOTP is more of a universe, and the FS2 mod is just a larger part of some things I'm working on for it. I've written a number of scripts, and am close to finish a novel set in it, for instance. Though, the "coming soon" :) projects page will detail all EOTP projects.
Thanks for the feed back though, I'll try to get that projects page in asap.

EOTP: There, but for the grace of God - Update
Here's why I stand as I save and shutdown tonight...
Mission 1 is completely finished and polished. All that's needed are the new ships.
Mission 2 is finished in terms of gameplay, but is missing half the messages, and will be tweaked just alittle more.
Mission 3 is mostly completed in terms of gameplay, but I've got some SEXPs to program, balance testing to preform, and messages to add.
Mission 4 is designed, and I'll start on it tomorrow....be intresting to see just how far I can push the FS2 engine, considering that Mission 4 (the last of the inital Canaan Defense missions), calls for nearly 30 capital ships in the game area at once.
Once these 4 are complete, provided I can get some webspace somewhere, I'll post them up for everyone to try out and test, and try to picture with different ships. :)
On the staffing front I really need some voice actors. Like. Lots of em. :) Also need a ANI editor type person - I have most of the concept art, just need to get it fleshed out some more. We still need a texture artist as well. Briefing specialist has been filled, and I picked up another modeler for the TC.
So, again, top of the thread has all the various ways to get in touch with me. :) Look forward to hearing from everyone.
