Title: New Beginnings
Post by: caine440 on July 15, 2020, 12:44:33 pm

Hello all.
 Just started New Beginnings and seem to be confused on the 2nd mission.
I complete all the objectives except for the 3 recover crafts retrieving the cargo.
I did a time compression on the 2nd try and ran it for 30 minutes of game time and they never arrived to claim the cargo.
It says I completed the objective of protecting the cargo even though I can not find any to target or scan.
Thought this would be the place to ask as I could not find any walk through or videos on youtube for this campaign.

Thanks!

Hm, I don't recall such a mod or campaign name... could you point us at the place you've found the mod in and your installation method? Are you using Knossos?

When the Author is just an email [email protected]... you know it's really, really old. Wow.

I did not notice how old it was. I like playing the campaigns with voice acting so I picked it to play next off the campaign list.

I was looking at playing Nubian conflict and Phantoms after completing New Beginnings, if I can.

EDIT: I have no idea what this campaign is about.. but the voice files are giving me a good giggle.

"After the destruction of the Lucifer, only a handful of jump nodes were left active. They are guarded fiercely by GTI and PVC forces - for instance the outpost Atlas."

Right now I am defending the Atlas outpost. At first is seems the Vasudans are the foes but they did not find any Vasudan bodies in the defeated ships, only some type of odd empty body armor. Looking forward to finding out who the bad guys really are.

Derelict is defiantly on my play list.

That's the spirit.  You tell those Derelict playlist exclusionists!

Well I feel dumb, you have to call for reinforcements and select the recovery ships to call them in. Still a tough mission, I could not save all the cargo after 4 tries.
