Title: Ascension of Beyond: Now Hiring!
Post by: TheVirtu on April 11, 2002, 09:22:33 pm: Well well well, after my return to FRED2, I am in the final stages of Act One of the Ascension of Beyond. And I am currently in planning of the second act of the campaign, planned to range from 6-15 missions. Now, The AoB isn't one of those 2 gig mod-filled campaigns that take four years to make, its a game designed for its storyline and gameplay, with table edits. And I am now looking for a team to work on the AoB Campaign, and possible future campaigns.

About Beyond: "In The Tau Sigma System star system of the Terran-Vasudan controled space, 11 years after the explosion of the Capellan star. A group of Vasudan extremists took rebellion and have been in a war with the GTVA for over a year, named the Tau Sigma Revolutionists. Destroying many ships with their stealthy ambushing skills and under their high commander, the GTVA sent more vessels to assist in this war. You are a new pilot on the GTD Messana, and begins with you arriving in the system. This rebellion may lead into a deeper, darker plan by a group, not associated with the TSR, an alliance of races appear for one reason: the total destruction of the GTVA. Can you stop the coming of Beyond?"

And I am currently looking for a reliable team currently of the following...

-5-7 FREDers with Experience
-A Manager to keep the site updated when I'm not around
-A Creative Mind to come up with story ideas for Campaigns by the team.

Oh, and what Virtu forgot to mention is that we'll hopefully be hosted soon too. He just sent in the request. ;)

Post by: Stryke 9 on April 11, 2002, 11:02:43 pm: ... Why does it seem that so many new campaigns simply use randomly coupled, dramatic-sounding words for titles?

Or is 'beyond', as a preposition or poetic-license, strictly abstract noun, somehow capable of moving upward?

Post by: Styxx on April 12, 2002, 08:01:50 am: Well MT has a distinct and valid meaning, that connects directly to the very point of the story we want to tell... :nod:

Post by: CP5670 on April 12, 2002, 08:26:25 am: TPI's title is direct and to the point; summarizes the campaign's story without too many details. ;)

It would be really funny if someone created a campaign called "Under the Bottom" and it got hosted here. :D:D

...Sounds like a porno...:D

Back on topic. I'm no master at FRED, but I'm getting better at SEXPs. Drop me a line, I might be able to help with a few missions here and there. :D So long as you give me an outline of what you want done in the mission. Note that I can't do Breifings or Debreifings of any sort, though I can try to learn. :D

Yes, but how?
Title: Ascension of Beyond: Now Hiring!
Post by: TheVirtu on April 13, 2002, 07:56:34 am: The Ascension of Beyond means like the rising of the big bad enemy in this campaign, the Beyond Galactic Alliance.

I just beta tested the first four missions for Virtu and I gotta say, they were really good. If we can just get more guys to FRED for us we can have this campaign done pretty fast! Help us out!

Oh, and you sure see the Beyond in the first mission. All I'll say for now :D

And...well...Virtu has a few mistakes in the briefings
Squad Leader: Almost all of the personnel aboard Tau Sigma station have parished. We are going in to reinforce their position.

;););)

Post by: Alikchi on April 13, 2002, 10:31:38 pm: Did you see any errors in mission 1?

In the scripting (like in the SEXPs and stuff?) I don't think so. I'm not good at that stuff so I wouldn't notice it anyway. I was just playing for content, plot, etc. I liked how you take off in the middle of the beam fight in mission 1 though. :o Little spoiler there :D

And Steak: Yes, it's true that they could have just been whisked away in a church, but I doubt it somehow. ;)
