Hey, I had an idea for a campaign, but I'm not sure if it's been done yet already. I've been getting into the new series Battlestar Galactica (which more or less got me frantic to play Freespace again) and was thinking that might make a good kind of Freespace campaign.
Here's a little brainstorming I've been doing on it. If I am correct, (haven't played freespace 2 in awhile so bear with me) the node from Epsilon Pegasi was still active to Capella. I'd start the campaign off with the battle of Capella and you are a fighter in a battlegroup rescuing civilians from a colony near the edge of the system by the Epsilon Pegasi jumpnode. The Capella start begins to go nova and the ships are being held up by shivan forces. As the fleet realizes they wont be able to make the subspace jump to the node where the rest of the forces with the GTD Aquitane are in time, they make the only move they can to save their lives. The commander gives the order for all the escorted civilian craft to enter the epsilon pegasi node with the rest of the military craft in the area. Now, their only hope is to jump through the nebula with the few military craft with them, while protecting the Capellan refugees, and try to use the old knossos portals in unknown space to find a way home.
This could have a bunch of interesting missions as well, protecting civilian craft, search the wreakage of NTF ships in the nebula to find out how they reactivated the portals, protect gas mining vessels that need to refuel the fleet, and they are stalked by the Shivans who follow them behind every step of the way.
I dunno, I'm rambling on, just throwing up some ideas. They probably suck, but I thought it might make for a different campaign then what I have seen out there. Anyone wanna help me with it? hehe.
