Title: My campaign
Post by: kane544 on March 25, 2004, 09:58:42 am: I could sure use alittle help on finishing up my mini campaign. maybe a few ideas on how to move the story along. Also I could really use place to upload the first mission of it. The first mission of cours is just a test for the real thing. If people play I could use feedback on changes that should be put into the first mission. Any help would be appreciated.:) :)

Post by: kv1at3485 on March 30, 2004, 08:11:33 am: Haven't finished it yet, but I have found a pretty big bug.

The second convoy will only arrive only if all three Hippocrates depart. (i.e. If one of the medical ships is destroyed, the mission comes to a grinding halt.)

On a smaller note, you might want to check over your grammar and spelling a bit. And in the last briefing stage, the GTC Sol is displayed as a cruiser wing.

Needs music, a proper name, and you should take some time to mess around with the loadout options. (Not that I mind being able to fly a Mara! ;) )

And just looking in FRED2... where's the debriefing? :(

Post by: jdjtcagle on March 30, 2004, 08:26:03 am: Also, I dont think they had kaysers in that time;)
Title: My campaign
Post by: karajorma on March 30, 2004, 09:10:37 am: Well the loadout options will probably be sorted out when you put this into a campaign file :)

I tend to leave everything enabled while testing so I can give myself something fairly uber if I want to test blowing up enemy ships later on in the mission. :)

As for the mission itself I think I need to play it myself :)

Post by: kane544 on March 30, 2004, 10:01:15 am: I'll try and fix some of these bugs. I didn't include debriefings because this was just a test to see what needed to be changed.
Also if there are any more things you guys to report just let me now.

Post by: kane544 on March 30, 2004, 10:13:29 am: One other thing I could use ideas for my second mission. Thanks.

Post by: Janos on April 01, 2004, 02:57:20 pm: Soon it shall become the singularity, as you decide to add just one little ship.

You will never finish your campaign. Ever. You will just "hire" more and more "staff"/groupies who ***** and whine about your [dead] forums, and finally you end up - at 2006 at the earliest - with a small demo of the first Chapter [out of 16], which introduces several new races and ****load of ships.

Surrender.

Spoiler:
FINISH IT

Post by: kane544 on April 02, 2004, 10:03:27 am: I've already started work on the second one. Besides you can't rush these things so keep your pants on. Here's a little background for the second mission: Your job is to take Lexington Station back from the NTF. This takes place on the outer edge of Sirius. The station starts off on your side because Command thinks that the NTF wasn't able to capture Lexington Station. More details later...

Post by: kane544 on April 06, 2004, 09:58:38 am: Hey again. I need a little help on how to finish mission 2. Here's the situation up the point of the Liberation escaping. A few seconds after the liberation has escaped Admiral Bosch warps in with the Ridley's sister ships Sirius and Polaris. Bosch orders Lexington Station to surrender. I don't know where to go from there. I'm having writers block again.

Post by: kane544 on April 27, 2004, 09:47:33 am: Does anyone have an idea on how to finish mission two or do I have to do it myself!
Title: My campaign
Post by: Janos on April 27, 2004, 09:57:46 am: Well, it's your campaign :p I haven't played it yet, but try to come up with possible plot continuations..

If you want to go really cliché, make Bosch destroy the station (though I don't know if it contradicts with canon).
Or rather, make the GTVA launch an half-spirited attack, fending Bosch away but suffering minor-moderate casualties along the way.

Meh.

Post by: kane544 on June 02, 2004, 06:48:03 pm: If anyone wants to finish this campaigm they more than welcome to because i dont't want to do this anymore. Becaus e its so hard to think up ideas for missions and making the missions work right for me.
