Good first try, but needs some serious work:


Briefing screen is a bit cluttered. Try spacing the icons out a bit.

Player's loadout is not limited at all. Multiplayer weapons should not be available in a single player mission.

Why the **** are there Shivan fighters guarding the Iceni?

How is the Iceni even alive? It got blown up in FS2!

Give the enemies proper names. "Help" and "Bombers" are not proper wing names. Try using the zodiac ("Aquarius", "Cancer", etc) for wing names.

No backgrounds.

Not spellchecked.

Too many wingmen. The mission practically plays itself. Limit the numbers on the good guys' side.

Why would Command send only a single corvette to attack an Iceni-class frigate? The Iceni-class outguns the Deimos, big-time. And why would the corvette be damaged at the start anyway? Command would send a full-health corvette.

Enemy bombers jump in waaay too far out. Makes it too easy to intercept them. Have them jump in... say three times closer, at least.

Don't understand the presence of those asteroids that just blow up right at the start.

Why are the enemies jumping in at the start? Shouldn't they already be there?

Lack of any kind of background story.

I know I must sound harsh, but a good mission is much harder to put together than you may first think. I reccomend reading this (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/fredcommonmistakes.html), as well. You make some of the mistakes mentioned there.

Oh, yes, and:

I don't like the inceni because it's escape 3 times in fs2 campain. the asteroids are just for fun... the grat fox don't attack the inceni... the inceni attack the great fox, but they can't escape, because aplhas warp is brocken (in mp the warp of the great fox itself...)... orher names... sorry, i just played freespace 1 week, i don't know what are the wings called. you are right, the mission playes itself. but if you do nothing, you will loose anyway. it's a very esey mission. but i don't want to deleat good wingman, i should make more sf mara's. maybe more waves or something. i don't know how to make a background. what i spelled wrong? i'm not very well in english. i will bring bombers near to the GF, ok. why the enemys jump in at the start? because they have to come in whentehy want to attack the GF.

and most important, what i spelled wrong???


thx you for comment this stuff

A word of advice. Check out my FAQ. Especially the common FREDding mistakes section. It should help.
