Neither will your Raynors last long against an armada of Sathani and Dantes anyway.

Except we beat that Sathanas, immediately after we beat that Lucifer, also immediately after we beat four or five destroyers with only a destroyer group already cut off from reinforcement. :P
Although, I would absolutely love to play as campaign as part of Steele's task force.

Yes, because the no hope is clearly better than the forlorn one.

I mean, if this is how the GTVA can utterly wtfpwn the Feds, they have no hope against the Shivans.
That, and Admiral Steele is one glorious, magnificient bastard and I would be truly honoured to be one of his pilots. I salute that man's tactical and strategic genius.

You drooling fed scum make me puke. You'd sacrifice humanity to cling to your childish spirituality, whilst the Shivans lurk in the dark, waiting to tear us apart. Only we understand the darkness that which threatens to engulf us all, only we know what they can do. Only we know how to fight them, as we have whilst you hid in your cradle, protected by our sweat, blood and tears. 9 Billion lives is a small cost compared to our utter annihilation at the hands of the Destroyers.
Don't tell me that you are disgusted by me. You haven't earned the right.

While you bloody Tevs would sacrifice your brothers and sisters, everything you hold dear, just to live in constant fear for one more day? Oh, yes, let's start shooting people, maybe that will help. Maybe, even though we have seen in the past that shooting Shivans does **** all, just maybe it'll work this time? Is THAT your grand plan to save humanity?
What is it that you're fighting for then? You say you have something worth dying for, but do you actually have something worth living for? And what will you do, should you be able to defeat the Shivans? What will you find next as a stick to keep the population in line?
Oh, and don't go on about "spirituality". Sufficiently advanced technology, mate, only that. It's not my fault you cavemen are flummoxed by electrical lighting.

Byrne does have a line in m04. He at least thinks he's not an idiot.

Temporary setback at best, especially when the SOC operation that brought the Vasudans in firmly on the side of their erstwhile allies paid off, giving the Tevs unassailable Logistics.
Unless you were mocking the Wargods, and I missed it due to the internet :P

Isn't it clear by now who Admiral Steele really is?
He has contingencies for his contingencies for his contingencies, it's so obvious!
The only person nearly as well prepared as Admiral Steele, and no-one else can be that well prepared is...
Batman.
Yes, more reason why the GTVA is awesome.
They have Admiral BATMAN.

The reveal at the end of the previous page was the result of a long journalistic campaign on the part of Useful Dave and myself, gathering and collating our evidence from those meagre scraps that Steele/Batman had not erased from the public record. Though, his performance in the Sol theatre speaks for itself.
We've got Batman. Give up, Feds.

You'd be surprised at the recruiting stuff the GTVA considered releasing, but some people saw the possibility that it could turn certain organised crime elements into insurgents, once they saw just how much a GTVA officer had done to destroy their schemes. That kinda snuffed out the idea of a propoganda campaign showing just how awesome Admiral Steele was. Instead they had to start a war with the UEF to show just what he could do,

Not from what I've seen.

Nope; Dilmah never finished it and it needs a few adjustments to fit canon (Narayanas did not have artillery at that point in the war, for example.)
-
pity! I hope this'll be corrected! As I understand it, there's no mission in that precise timeline (the battle for neptune)...
Also, why has the upanishad been changed? I loved the initial design...

Oh yeah, I much prefer this one over the former version.

the solaris changed too! :eek2:

IIRC the old Upanishad had some horrid overtiling issue on the texture.
The old Solaris is IMARAPEURCOMPUTER. (not that the new one isn't, but the new one doesn't have weird booleans)

Yeah I believe it's in one of ShadowGorrath's campaigns as something called the Devastator.
Its performance is bad but the worst thing is the horrible lighting seam thing on the hangar deck.

Didn't the old one also have awful smooth shading too?

The Hyperion and Tethis have that too (the smooth shading).

It does. Blowfish fixed the Karuna though.

No wonder I didn't see that carrier...

Oh yay the Karuna's fixed.
It seems to be missing turrets 6 through 27 though, and a few others sporadically.
-
Oh yay the Karuna's fixed.
Not quite; the released Karuna has fixed smoothing but still needs LODs and optimized textures. Blowfish only got to smoothing before release, which is why karunas no longer look like marshmallow ships.

There's a perfectly good planet down there we've been living on for millions of years, it's anyones guess why these punks want to live on a ****ing comet. No wonder they're so stupid. Their ideology is laughable.
In fact they're the only group I actually have a hatred for. I hope we get to p4wn them a bit in WiHR2.

Just for anyone who wasn't here for the fanboying over Steele, me and Dilmah G are currently brainstorming ideas for this GTVA campaign.

Nope, but the ability to disseminate the population across interstellar distances without subspace travel is a definite plus for the claim.

hey i have a Shivan proof idea!, make highly mobile mini-konosi and place them anywhere you THINK Shivans may get through and use them to PREVENT nodes from forming or the Shivans from using THEIR konosi (I.E. Narlethotep's(SP) built-in Konosos)
-
A Terran (i dismiss Ubuntu words for our glorious civilisation) campaign should start either-
A- as another LOYAL pilot at the Orestes / Renjian conflict aftermath, just as Bei jumps out, Third fleet backup arrives.
B- Steels takeover of fleet actions in Sol.

The plan now is for the Tev campaign to start a few weeks after that, actually.

I think would be more appropriate story wise to be like Command & Conquer 3 campaign type of story, which the 3 campaigns are actually the same story in the same time as each other, you are just looking at the same story from different sides which shows the overall picture when combined.

We are contemplating doing that but it'd make it harder to empathize with the characters.

You don't necessarily have to faithfully adapt the Ubuntu side of BP either. You could subscribe to the earlier C&C method and tell different stories for different sides. :P
-
Or alternatively, Starcraft style, in which one campaign take part chronologically after the last. That is another way, at least to avoid multiple endings.

This seems like the original plan.
The GTVA campaign would be from the start of the war to about...the capship mission?

Or to Artemis Station

Which is set at the same time as Artemis.

Not quite. There's a slight but significant gap between the two.

let's remember to include the battle of neptune in it then... :nod:

Nah guys, set it after Part 1. Make it a GTVA victory campaign Whether that jives with the actual Part 2... we'll see. :p
-
We've alreadly mostly decided on when the campaign takes place.
-
let's remember to include the battle of neptune in it then... :nod:
There's a battle of Neptune mission lying around (the same one that was in the video).
-
has there been any follow ups regarding that idea recently? it would be nice to see a bit more of neptune in WIH... :nod:
-
Snail and I had some dev discussions, we had a few other guys join (can't remember all of you at the moment, sorry) and I don't know what's happened nao. Snail's had some RL issues and well, my responsibility with RL stuff has multiplied massively since then, having an inverse effect on my freespace time.
-
I'm still alive, but college is making time a little more difficult to find to work on campaigns.
-
If there still is to be a Tev campaign I'm thinking it would probably come in the form of a few vaguely connected mission sets rather than a single linear campaign.
-
Yeah, that was a topic of our conversations on the dev channel at some stage. Although we did have a fairly character-driven story at one stage, there were several factors that would've made its implementation hard, not the least being that none of us did any fulltime writing. That's not to say we couldn't write and had no experience with writing, but our lack of extensive experience would've made the process tedious.
Anyway, if anyone with time and effort comes along, I'm not sure many members of the team would object to the release of our dev pieces to you.

Would probably work great in a flashback narrative style, not unlike Vasago's Dirge but with a twist. The player starts as a GTVA pilot* who gets to face defeat in the Delenda Est mission where the pilot their life literally flashes before their eyes, portraying missions which likely took place before and later some during the WiH storyline. After this flashback containing several missions, with and some without briefing, the closure mission picks off where the first mission stalled and the player is saved by the Imperious (sp?). Optional would be a few extended minutes during that closure where the few wargod pilots who purposedly stayed behind are defeaten by the player, or perhaps are talked entirely into surrendering by a merciful Lopez once their capital ship is destroyed.
*Gender and name chosen to fit the story, perhaps a unisex name to leave the gender undisclosed.

Why not Alpha 1?

"We're not sure if it's a boy or a girl Mr. and Mrs. One, how about you call it Alpha?"
So far BP didn't really go for the Alpha 1 way of a silent protagonist, but fleshed them out and gave them names and personality. Of course the Tev campaign could go an entirely different route, but I don't think it would fit much. -Sara-'s idea actually sounds like it could fit right into BP canon in matters of style.
-
Actually we were going with the idea that the squadron would use callsigns rather than full names.
-
I'd say callsigns on missions and as terms of endearment perhaps, and surnames when rank is pulled/used.
We actually, at one point, had an entire squadron fleshed out with pilots who had full names, callsigns, specific quirks and attitudes.
Then RL got in the way for all involved.
-
Well, fair enough. As long as the overall mission design is on par, I don't care if the missions aren't full of character development and a fleshed out protagonist. The main hurdle I guess is making a war that is mostly defined by being a stalemate and war of attrition all that engaging. But that's not too difficult, especially if you jump around the timeline a bit, concentrating on interesting operations.
If this is really being done, I'm eagerly awaiting it's release.

Hey gais (meaning Snail and Dilmah, really), I'mma try and get this off the ground again. Unless either of you still has the time to lead, I'm going to just go ahead with it.
-
Well whilst I don't have the time to contribute greatly now, I can drop by to bounce ideas off, etc. Although I can return as a full timer in about two weeks if that's cool with you?
-
Yeah, that's fine. I'm going to try and keep progress at at least some level above zero until then.
-
Roger. :yes:
-
Cool. I'll see if I can get a missions or two done at some point...
-
Yeah, the three of us should get together soonish and chat about where we are at the moment.
-
My FREDing repetoire just increased considerably.
-
Awesome. :yes:
-
I might be on during the weekend.
-
Is it just you two or is anyone else involved in making this?
-
Scotty is involved, too. He's made a couple missions and done a lot of brainstorming for the project. Tantalus53 was onboard for a while, but he's been very busy with RL and Earth Defense lately. A couple other people hang out on the IRC.

Love the idea. I nominate "The Admiral Chiwetel 'Batman' Steele Bubblegum Deficiency Festival" for the name. :P
