Played your mission and i have to say it's really interesting. :yes:

some comments from me:

first: why is there a test.vp in the vp file?  :wtf:
It has the same content as the EvsN.vp, and it increases the filesize, you should remove it.

I don't want to spoil things from the mission, so i use Spoilertags.

Spoiler:
The background is cool, reminds me of a Sci-fi artwork i had on my wall years back.
The way the nebula overlays the planets is really a cool looking effect ( reminds me of New Caprica in BSG ), but
some people may find, the planet bitmaps should be placed on the nebula ( thus overlay it ), not vice versa.
It's not very B5-ish, but i like it.


My only REAL complaint is the the fact that you used Micro$oft's Sam.
It isn't the best choice for voice acted missions, it would have been way better to do it yourself or to ask a friend.


[/end nitpicking]

Besides the point i mentioned above, a really entertaining mission, hope to see more from ya in the future.

Thanks, I didn't know that there is a test.vp in the vp. It is really stupid, I will remove it soon, but not before monday, since I do not have access to my host for now.
Thank all of you for your comments, I will soon release a 2 mission-DEMO of a short campaign I am writing.
The point is, I am a big fan of B5, not Freespace. So I do not present much in the SCP forum, I am only and will only be here for TBP.

The mission needs to go into the /data/missions directory.

Please take a note here: .vp files for TBP (and only for TBP, do this for FreeSpace and suffer my wrath) belong in the base directory. And I believe you have to select the campaign in the campaign room before you can play the missions in there.

Okay. This mission should show up in the techroom, specifically, the mission simulator. Make sure it's set to show "Single Missions".

Any chance this mission got upgraded? The link is broke so I can't even try it.

Hello, I have updated the download link. Mission tested, it works with latest Zathas.

Maybe I'm just not good enough at TBP but I found this mission quite hard even on very easy! I could only finish it when I started disabling the Narn weapon systems right from the start. So I'll suggest to make the whole thing easier and the Narn attack as soon as their ships are hit, otherwise it kind of looks ridiculous with both sides still talking peace while I am blowing up the Narn guns :)!
