A Funny, Strange, (and Somewhat Scary) Glitch
I played the FS1 port a while ago using SCP.  I also had the Transcend campaign installed.  (These were in separate folders using the -mod commandline.)  I played the FS1 port mission Where Eagles Dare (I think), and one of the transports went down.  My screen flashes black and I'm stuck facing the planet, nothing around me.  I can't move my ship at all.  This is similar to the scripted events where the Transcendant "captures" you.  I fixed it by taking out the Transcend folder from the FS2 directory. 

My only question is this:  If the campaigns are in separate folders, they can't interfere with each other...right?  Unless someone let the Transcendant out of his nebula...

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Maybe he has :)

Campaigns in seperate folders can't interfere with each other unless one of the folders is Data or you have mod.ini / multimod features enabled to let them do so.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

After playing transcend, if that happened in another campaign, I'd probably soil myself. That would make a good easter egg though.

This should be a reproduceable glitch.  Try it for yourself...its scary...   :shaking:

@Kara -- I don't think I had any of those running.  Maybe he is coming for me...  *Runs and hides*
