Title: Should I bother?
Post by: The Spac on June 23, 2005, 06:53:06 am

I have come to the community quite late and probably all my campaigns that I'm working on have already been done.

I created that mission ages back, and another called gaurd duty.

under my old alias cyberspac. Well they only got 3 stars, I would like everyone to try em out and answer these two questions.

should I keep working on my own campaigns that I've already started?

And do I have enough fredding talent that my campaigns would even be worth playing.

Since I've just returned to the community I am unsure of the current standards of released missions.

Well, I just played the mission, and it definitely shows promise.  You certainly know your way around FRED, and you know how to put together a mission.  The only thing I would change is balance: the mission is a bit crazy for five minutes and then it suddenly stops.

A three-star mission is nothing to sneeze at; think of it as taking an AP test in high school: three stars is "well done"; four stars is "excellent"; five is "outstanding".  It's a good mission and it's better than average.  I'd say it's even better than some of the newbie missions that have been released on HLP. :)

Why not try out FRED Academy (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,28122.0.html)?  You can make some missions for some campaigns that are in active development and people will critique them.
