Title: Any campaigns where you are in the NTF?
Post by: DavetheGrave on October 20, 2013, 12:03:20 am
I've looked through all the lists and all of them are GTVA-centric. Do you guys know of any where you are in the actual NTF?

I would recommend "Great Tin Can Run".


"Neo-Terra Reality" is not nearly as good IMO (implausible story and a couple bugs that make playing really hard in some points) but it's a relatively lengthy NTF campaign.

There's also Crossing the Styx (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Crossing_the_Styx).

There are few of them:

Neo-Terra (http://www.freewebs.com/neo-terra/Neo-Terra.zip)

Utopia - Return to Neo-Terra (http://www.freewebs.com/neo-terra/Utopia%20campaign.rar) even it is about a NNTF afaik.

NTF Campaign Part 1 (http://web.archive.org/web/20020930043726/http://archives.volitionwatch.com/fs2/missions/download.php3?MissID=103) a very old one that is still retriveable from volitionwatch.

NTF Saga Episode 1: 67th Desperados (http://web.archive.org/web/20020713053533/http://archives.volitionwatch.com/fs2/missions/download.php3?MissID=234) another ancient one from Volitionwatch. Needs a GTF Ares Adv. (http://web.archive.org/web/20030521055335/http://archives.volitionwatch.com/fs2/mods/search.php3?MODid=63) and NTD Fury (http://web.archive.org/web/20030613085128/http://archives.volitionwatch.com/fs2/mods/search.php3?MODid=42).

This is all i actually know about. But i am sure there are much more out there.

The last four links are questionable. Did you bother to try them?

EDIT: **** IT those links left something in my computer that keeps taking me to ask.com and I can't seem to get rid of it!

Are you referring to "Great Tin Can Run" or "Neo-Terra Reality"?  I played them both.

The former, and I'm surprised anyone knows since I released it at a bad time and have never gotten any full review of it.

Sounds like a good candidate for review in one of the newsletters.

The one where you capture a bunch of decommissioned Aeoulses near the beginning (just to be 100% sure we're on the same page)?  Yeah, I played that one and really liked it.

We're on the same level, and I wish what you said was where it mattered. I only know of two people who may have put some effort into finishing the campaign. :(

Dave, look at my sig.
There's nothing wrong with it, just that it looks extra conspicuous. ;)

I finished it Yuezhi.  It wasn't too bad.

I aborted a campaign in which the protagonist signs on with the NTF some time ago ... it was more of a prologue to another project and meant to flesh out the character before she re-appears in the main campaign but I think it still qualifies.

I uploaded the dump for that campaign to FSMods and you can check it out (Download at FSMods (http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.883)); it deals mostly with the end of the Rebellion and the escape to and through the Knossos I...

The missions in the dump are all alphas but they should work in a fashion without you having to mess with them, just usually "access via techroom" instead of being a campaign - all unfinished missions are missing though, so there are a huge story gaps
Spoiler:
which deal tie together some story threads about the GTVI and NTF and the importance of the main character of the story to individuals in both factions

There are also some standalone missions in multiplayer where you're the NTF. Two of them are official Volition missions, and several fanmade ones exist as well.
