but yeah, they're up, even the FS1 category for campaigns, including the awesome Destiny of Peace. (maybe if the mission converter worked i'd have some fun with it in FS2. )

Ah, this sucks. Hopefully people have those campaigns stored elsewhere. Titan Rebellion especially was an excellent campaign.

Wuzat about?

Someone should download whatever's left on the VA archives before they're lost forever. It's a valuable piece of FS history, and should be preserved imo

I can sum up the plot as Silent Threat: Freespace 2 edition, in terms that it's about an intelligence-based revolt, but the quality and balance is the best that I've seen in a user-made campaign.

It was just... never... finished... which really bites, IMO.

Hm, well I played it the other week and thought it was a little cheesy, and one or two missions were grossly imbalanced.  It was decent, but I don't think I'd give it more than a 3.5 or 4 (out of 5).

In any case, when you're ranking campaigns for balance and quality, don't forget about Derelict, Aeos Affair, and Warzone.

Really? I found the missions to work extremely well for me. Which particular ones were imbalanced? I'll give to the fact that the huge numbers of bombers tends to get a little unbelievable, but otherwise I found it well done, especially the TAG mission.

The bombers are exactly it.  The one where you have to defend the Moloch against about 50 of them, plus a Sobek and Hecate, is quite frankly impossible on anything above Easy.

The one where you have to fly in a straight line for 20 km just to scan a Pegasus with no lifesigns is both boring and frustrating.

The TAG mission, on the other hand, I thought was great. It was my favorite mission out of all of them, and the balance was pretty decent too.

I found this one a challenge, but not necessarily impossible. All it requires is being a little more conservative with Trebuchets until the big ships show up. I actually remember beating this mission on the first run on Medium.

The first nebula mission was admittedly a little boring, but as the recommendations show, it was there to introduce The Ship™. I liked the challenge of fighting without shields for a change.
