Title: Need some ideas....
Post by: Unknown Target on November 18, 2001, 05:10:00 pm
OK, for the next mission in my campaign, I'm planning that your jump drive malfunctions, and you get thrown far, far away, into NTF controlled space, and eventually get rescued by Bosh, and he gives you two choices, join the STA (Shivan Terran Alliance) or die.
However, I don't know how to fit combat into this mission, or make it interesting...
Help!

well, youu land in this space..maybe its a nebula. let's assume it's a nebula..anyways you land in their, you begin seeing derelicts or shivan/terran debris or something, then shivans come and attack you. You fight off a few more waves, until a ravana and the Iceni jump in. Then Bosch gives you his little talk and mission  over. If you say no, out comes 30 dragons

Sounds interesting enough, but didn't the Iceni go *BOOM* during the Second Shivan Invasion?

I told you that It ("http://www.geocities.com/jskgames/home.html") would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

I got one.  You jump into the mission with your engines disabled and your jump drive inoperable and your sensors scrambled.

A Deimos corvette warps in right infront of.  Bosch gives you the two choices.  He makes a transport full of GTVA prisoners of war jump in close to you.  To join bosch you must destroy the transport within 2 minutes.  If you do not then the deimos fires its main beams and destroys you.  If you destroy the transport then a support ship jumps in and docks with you.  You engines and jump drive are brought on-line and you are free to warp out and join the NTF.

The rest is up to you...

That's good, but doesn't that sound like that one covert ops mission  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Anyways, I'm still trying to think of what to do, because I'm not going to start the mission until I figure out what to do in it.

Maybe it could really be a decoy and you could somehow scan it. Why sacrafice perfectly good POWs?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
