Re: Campaign/Mission recommendations
I tried Derelict but was soon unable to continue because of some kind of bug. Didn't felt like doing ctrol+shift+s for 40+ missions afterwards.

Might also be worth checking out the wingcommander saga and the babylon 5 mods.

Lemme guess: you got to the first "loop" mission and the game crashes when it tries to load it.
No actually, it was in that nebula (dream sequence?), where they hear beta 1 and talk about him a bit. Then nothing happens. Nothing at all.
Urutorahappī!!

Did you find him and follow him?
If you don't have Knossos, you need it.

Re: Campaign/Mission recommendations
Yay, mention! :D

If you do play this one though, don't forget about the single demo missions accessible from the tech room.

Ah yes, especially The Face of BoE (Obligatory). ;)

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

 
Re: Campaign/Mission recommendations
The ones I remember off the back of my mind are Transcend and the JAD Trilogy. I also finished ST:R, which in my opinion is done with ingenuity, though I would recommend playing the original Silient Threat first (if you can), as flawed and broken as it is, if only to see the rather large differences done between the two.

Transcend is the first thing, out of the several dozen horror movies and games I've ever seen, to actually scare me. The writing and atmosphere is sublime. I insist you play that one. Sync, the prequel (I think?) is much the same, though I think Transcend is definitely scarier.

JAD, whether you get some of the in-jokes relating to Freespace 2 or the HLP community or not, is simply hilarious. That's also another one I insist you play. It has the most hilarious jokes I've seen in a very long time.

Inferno is worth playing simply because of the spectacle of it being a spiritual incarnation of a Freespace 3. I never liked it, personally, probably due to the fact that most of the sound affects were ripped right off of Descent 3. (:p)
I'm kidding. Inferno is really good, though most would agree the story is rather linear at best.

Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

:yes:
Still, I'd like to see how INFSCP, BWO and MT face off together when they are all finally released given that they are all related in some way.  :nod:

  
Re: Campaign/Mission recommendations
Yes, those five campaigns. Definitely. I recommend you play them in chronological order: ST:R - Sync - Transcend - Derelict - BP.
Er. But. They're. Umm... They're not in the same universe... :wtf:

Well

- ST:R, is the earliest

- Sync and Transcend can be played together anytime after ST:R

- Derelict follows the same principle, although Derelict and BP can really be played anytime after finishing FS2 campaign

IMO

Transcend is post-FS2... Omicron one flies an Erinyes

My recommendations:

The Aeos Affair
BluePlanet: Age of Aquarius
Derelict
Flames of War
Flames of War 2: Coming of the Storm
FreeSpace Port
Silent Threat: Reborn
Aftermath (Port)
Awakenings (Port)
Cardinal Spear (Port)
Crucible (Port)
Destiny of Peace (Port)
Shivans: Phantoms&Echo Gate (Port)
Rain on Ribos 4, Hellgate: Ikeya & Light of Antares(Port)
Shrouding the Light & Shrouding the Light: Origins (Port)
The Road to Victory (Port)
Ghost Revenants
Homesick
Inferno: Release 1
Into the Depths of Hell 1-4
Into the Halls of Valhalla
Just another Day 1-3
Pandora's Box
Procyon Insurgency
Sync & Transcend
Twillight
Warzone

Definately Play these:

BluePlanet: Age of Aquarius
Derelict
FreeSpace Port
Silent Threat: Reborn
Rain on Ribos 4, Hellgate: Ikeya & Light of Antares(Port)
Shrouding the Light & Shrouding the Light: Origins (Port)
