Campaigns That Belong In Teh Hall of Fame!!!1111111
It's funny that everyone seems to have experienced major bugs with Derelict.  I never had any problems with it.  It definitely ranks as my favorite campaign.  Homesick was amazing, too, especially for its character development.  The only thing I didn't like was the lack of good weaponry for most of the campaign.  I know you were supposed to be an independent merc, and that you wouldn't have access to the GTVA's supplies, but it did sometimes get old being forced to use Subachs mission after mission.  Even with that, I had a lot of fun.  The ending was downright depressing :(.  Warzone, the Aeos Affair, and Renegade Reassurgence also deserve a lot of credit.  As for DEM and JAD, that goes without saying :D.

Kieto, I also enjoyed the Second Great War Part 2.  Yes, it had tons of uber-ships, but it was genuinely fun to play.    I happen to like the Battle of Endor :p.

Run through the whole thread, HiG and you will notice not only I found Derelict buggy. Bear in mind that you received a pre-Final release. I could modified a few things here and there after I had given you that Exlusive release.

My favorite campaign of all-time is still Derelict - I was playing it from the start, when it was just individual missions with voice-acting packs (Which is why my one has voice acting ;)  The final version didn't have any :cries: )

My main gripe with Derelict is that it was a little buggy, but I didn't hit any major show-stoppers.
Homesick was almost perfect - It just needed Derelict's voice actors and it would be ;)  (The voice actors for Derelict were superb! :D)

Homesick feels a lot like Derelict in that it has a lot of flavour-text. This is what I liked a lot about both Derelic and Homesick - The game world felt more 'alive', and the AI pilots had a lot more personality, it wasn't just shooting crap up with some faceless wingmen.

Those are the 2 best ones, but I've played a lot more besides. I can't remember all of them since I played most of them a long time ago. They included stuff like:

Aeos Affair, Vortex, the Titan Rebellion, The Special Operations Command, The Regulus campaign, LDK, Inner Troubles part 1, Enemies United and Beyond the cause.

A lot of campaigns, ranging from from pretty cool to ridiculously hard through to downright silly :D, but were all quite fun to play :)

Lessee... what else...
Ahh, the B5 mini-capmaigns, they were all pretty fun (But hard!! Bloody shockwave deaths got me so many times!!!)
And the BWO teaser, that was pretty good. The voice-acting wasn't as good as Derelict's but it definitely adds a lot to the campaign.

The Lightning Marshals wasn't bad, but I haven't played most of the recent ones since I am boycotting FilePlanet, and that's the only place you can get all the files...

This is a bit cheating, but my final favorite campaign is the multiplayer mod for the FS2 campaign. Play it on the hardest difficulty with 4 friends, great stuff :D
("Cover me you arseholes!" ; "Cover yourself, I've got 6 bloody dragons chasing me!" ; "HEEELP!" ; "Don't worry guys, I'm 2 seconds away from dropping my Heli-WTF?!" ; "Damnit man, why did you fly in front of my Trees!?" ; "I *%&%$& HATE you!!!" :lol: )

Cyker could you upload your version of Derelict somewhere? AFAIK Volition Watch Archieves are down. It's pretty hard to come by.
Some people will definitly try to do smg. with it - hmm...now if I think about it a Derelict - Reborn project doesn't sound so farfetched.
A minor thing: are all the missions voiceacted?

It wouldn't be hard to fix the mistakes in Derelict, or at least the FREDding ones. I could see that, which is why I'm not happy with the campaign.
Now, the Cthon jumps in and cue FS2 crash, I dunno about that.

Yeah I got that too.  I used cheats and Shift-K so i could get too next one.  Perhaps just re-do it from scratch that's what I do if a mission goes harikari.  Boring though.

re. Derelict Voices; No, only the missions they first released separately have Voice Acting. The rest of the missions you only got once the final release came out, and as I said they didn't have any voices :(

As for the upload, anyone got a good place I can put them? I'll package it in a ZIP with all the directories laid out correctly so all you got to do is unpack it in the DATA directory of your choice and stick the Derelict.VP in the right place :)
(The Zip'd WAVs are a little under 8MB)
