I just wanted what everybodies favorite FS1 campaigns were. I know a whole bunch of you are going to put down Awakenings or DOP but, I always thought Aftermath was a excellent one. However I never saw it mentioned. Am I just wierd? :nervous:
I also have Both Black horizon chapters. The volition site told me it was one of the best. What do you guys think of this one?
-
Cardinal Spear was pretty cool - it had a neat plot and some neat settings. :)
-
I've always like derelict........
-
That's not FS1...
-
I never played any user campaigns for FS1 :( I really should remedy that some time...
-
Ummmmmmmmm. Aftermath :D

Lessee... the original Eagle still holds a special place in my heart for being the first campaign with any custom ANIs (i checked). Which is why I'm bringing it back and completely revamping it :) (points to sig)
Cardinal Spear was interesting. I kinda hope someone goes back, mods it more strenuously and SCP-ish (e.g. a model for the GTB Gorgon, use of the GTF Angel model, making the Vulcan cannon a ballistic primary, etc). It was one of the first campaigns with new ship models, if not the first.
Battle for Altair... not a bad first effort. And i did like the idea of being extremely limited (your selection of ships towards the end boiled down to basically 1 bomber and 2 fighters that the Orff could scrounge up).
Awakenings was probably the best of the ones I played. Dunno what needs to be said. B)
McCarthy was a decent campaign (and looking back, using old-school VLLs, ML-16s and Furies to fight Shivans was a fun challenge). There aren't many campaigns with a major plot branch, and this one was well written.
I never got the chance to play Aftermath or Black Horizon. I hope you still have Black Horizon, Kernal, cause the VW archives won't let me DL them...

Here this is a archive site where I found the campaign list again Here. (http://web.archive.org/web/20031209223316/http://archives.volitionwatch.com/fs1/missions/campaigns.php3)
Unfortunatly(sp?) I can`t seem to find the creaters site :doubt:
I never played, it still is in my storage folder so tell me what you think. :)
The patch doesn`t seem to be working properly so if it doesn`t work for you either i`ll email the one I got from the creaters site a while back go. The volition site is calling it a php3 file which I have no idea what it is. I`ll send you the zip if you need it.
Edit: Are you trying to port this one? (http://web.archive.org/web/20030604210141/archives.volitionwatch.com/fs1/missions/campaigns.php3?Cmp=Eagle)

Technically, ETF is just heavily inspired by Eagle, not a straight port. If it were a straight port, it'd be long done by now :P
I've split the story into two halves of 14-15 missions or so (as opposed to Eagle's 4 missions total), and completely scrapped any of the "you're forcibly drafted into the GTI" plot that the original Eagle seemed to be edging towards, since I'm setting ETF in 2336, a full year after the Hades Rebellion.
Many of the basics are similar though. You start a mercenary company with almost nothing to work with except your own moxie and a refurbished Amazon drone. Between pirates, the remaining Shivans, and the Hammer of Light, you've got your work cut out for you.
I've written down quite a bit of backstory, going as far back as the middle of the T-V War for some of it -- click the link in my sig to see.

Thanks for the archive linky, btw. :)

I've never really played any FS1 campaigns outside of DoP and Awakenings, so I'll have to say Awakenings.
Of course, ST: R probably will be when it comes out. :)

Sorry this this topic is old........
Does anybody have a copy of Cardinal Spear: Vega? I finished original one.
The archives linky I put above is slowly wasting away. :(

Wait a few weeks. ;)
