You should play it.
In hindsight, Silent Threat would have been a lot more interesting if it pursued a conspiracy angle rather than portraying the GTI as a bunch of angry guys who happened to build a giant destroyer. That doesn't strike me as how an intelligence agency would defect. They wouldn't take things by blunt force - they'd take them through manipulation. Hence, the silent threat. ;7

(You might be interested to know that it is compatible with retail FS2. :p)It's almost 2015 Goober, no one (sane) runs retail over FSO anymore.

While neither would be pleasant, I think a hypothetical GTI victory would be 'less worse' than a hypothetical NTF victory.
That's a very interesting thought experiment that probably deserves its own thread. I happen to think that an NTF victory would be "less worse", because they just wanted to be left alone in their three systems with no overbearing GTVA and no Vasudans around to annoy them. The GTI, on the other hand, placed no such restrictions on themselves.

This completely ignores their offensive actions into Deneb and EP in the game. (Yes, Deneb was for Bosch's benefit, but he sure didn't sell it to his rank and file that way. Koth's offensive doesn't even have that minimal excuse.) There is no evidence for the position you're taking, and plenty of evidence for its opposite.
The NTF's prime goal was to survive... this was not a conflict such as the one between the Terrans and Vasudans, in which both parties were attempting to annihilate one another. The NTF just needed to stay coherent and maintain at least a small resemblance of power through their military... the GTI had far different and more sinister plans

The NTF's prime goal was to prolong a bloody standoff while Bosch pilfered Ancient excavations and contacted the Shivans.
