don't worry...most of Cobra's post are spam..Off-topic...or.......anything note very constructive... [EDIT: i have just realized that we both registered in November 2004...and Cobra doubles my post count]

The [EDIT: FS2!!, not FS1] Main Campaign had little character development...and it was good..............the only things i remember about pilots talking about themselves are: In the mission when you must defend the bastion some pilot (female?) says that her grandfather died during the Great War fighting the (taranus?)......and............................nothing more, i think.

hey, a lot of my posts are on topic, and i'm involved in a lot of conversations.

i haven't played the main fs1 campaign either. but, i think all she said was "My grandfather died in the Great War" or something like that.

[EDIT] willy, you're thinking of the cain, taranis.

Raa: you have 8000 posts. i won't be able to catch up with you,

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities.

The exact quote is
Quote
My grandfather served on the Bastion in the Great War.  He died in Sirius, fighting the SC Tantalus.
It's confusing because they made a mistake.  It should be the SD Tantalus.

There are a lot of mistakes in both FS games: Remember the jump node from Earth to Deneb from one FS1 Command Briefs?

Actually we would, IIRC the Ravana had already been wasted and Kappa 3 was raving about the Sathanas.
BTW You can even order Kappa 3 to depart in that mission

i knew it was the sathanas! i just kind of doubted myself. the ravana was originally the sathanas, btw. I'm doing the middle mission first, so i can figure out how I'm going to do mission 1. but, I think I've got everything planned. mission 2: half done.

I think Cobra was trying to say that he got the Ravana and Sathanas mixed up.

Anyway Kappa 3 goes on his little panic attack in SM2-01, the Ravana appears in SM1-06 and gets destroyed in SM1-07. Unless he's a victim of time travel, I think its safe to say he was talking about the Sathanas.

i meant i originally put in a sathanas.

kappa 3 was raving that there was something in the nebula.

[EDIT] it's insanely possible that kappa wing was involved in some sort of temporal time vortex...

sorry for throwing the thread off topic.  But thanks guys for the inspiration to create characters of depth.  That now falls on the shoulders of an able stff member for Origins.  If we want to continue the discussion about the Ravana/Sathanas/kappa/temporal anomoly/panic/not panic but instead heart racing shortness of breath loud voice quick pulse attack....maybe we should open another thread for it?

Sucks to be whoever this aforementioned staff member is. ;)

Getting back toward on-topicness...

Since most of the campaigns with characters have already be mentioned, I'll just throw my $0.02 in.

I'm making one with quite a few characters, however its a real pain to make it all work. You have to find a way to let them develop. You can't have them talk for too long or else the player might get bored of it. Keeping them alive is another thing, of course you can say they ejected. Making sure that their personalities are unique is another one.

But I think the result is well worth it, it really makes you feel like you know the people you're with. So then you can be really evil and kill some guy off and the player will hate you forever. :drevil:

WARNING: This spoiler is about my campaign. I am willingly giving you a sneek peak of my campaign

Spoiler:
That's kind of what my real campaign holds. There will be a choice to either join the enemy, or to stay with the good guys. kinda like the sw: jedi knight series.

I'm gonna try this in Battle of Beta Aquilea...each 20% of hull damage a wingman receives...it's AI skill will lower one level (simulating injures that would hinder his piloting skill)...when he reaches 10% hull integrity the pilot will fall unconscious and no longer be a threath (IE: i will put the protect flag and guardanize the ship, and make him play-dead)...

Of course the biggest problem with wingmen, they are all rubbish, can't match the might of the great and glorius Alpha 1.  Idealy they should be able to match the piloting skills of Alpha 1, but that is more an A.I. concern.
Also, I always thought that Kappa Wing (just 3?) found the 2nd Konossos, went through, found another one, and found *something* (prob Sathanai)
