A couple ideas that don't require me modding anything really. Mini-campaigns, stuff just for the hell of it.
The two I've begun developing:
Freespace: Sol FireUses: Freespace Port
STORY: It is only a year since the collapse of the Sol Jump Node. While outside the GTA and PVA rebuild their shattered remains towards a lasting peace, back home things are taking a turn for the worse.
The Vasudans stranded in Sol aren't taking to their new home so readily. Already they have banded together and begun spreading anti-human sentiments amung their people.
The GTA remnants, shattered and few, have blockaded Earth off from the rest of the Sol system. With a handful of warships and the resources of Earth below, they are settled in for a long siege.
Meanwhile, the GTI have determined this to be an opportunity to gain power and take control. Plotting, scheming and manipulating, they hope to bring about the anihilation of the Vasudan remnants and the fall of the GTA defense force.
And at the edge of the system, near the debris of the destroyed Lucifer and the collapsed node, a singular beacon, overlooked in the aftermath, has begun broadcasting a countdown. To what, can only be imagined.
INFO: The Campaign will be composed of several missions from the perspective of the original Alpha One who destroyed the Lucifer. A member of the GTA, he/she will be forced to choose between loyalty to the GTA and the tempting lure of the mysterious GTI. Vasudan fighting sprinkled in liberally.
There will be actually TWO paths to take in the campaign. A turning point mission will determin if you continue with the GTA or follow the path of the GTI. Two endings possible.
Freespace 2: Vasuda RisingSTORY: Two years after the Second Shivan Incursion the GTVA is rebuilding slowly but surely. However something has happened that looks to change all that once again.
Vasuda Prime, once home to the Vasudan race, has begun to change. The surface is re-shaping, the atmosphere altering, and the very foundations of the planet being remade to something radically different. GTVA scientists studying the world have determined the blasts of the mysterious Flux cannons on the Lucifer 34 years ago have had some unknown effect on the planet. The GTVA orders the world sealed off to all but the highest ranking officers and science personnel.
During a routine scan, the GTVA science team is attacked by Vasudan craft bearing no identification. Two days later, the orbiting GTCv Nightstar is sabotaged and the ship's it was escorting destroyed by unmarked bombers. Mere hours after a ground team is killed by a strafing run from an unknown fighter group.
Each attack has only one thing in common, a beacon broadcasting a single warning: "Stay away from Vasuda Prime, Holy Ground of the Destroyers."
The Hammer of Light has returned it would seem, and have declared war on the GTVA teams at Vasuda Prime. While the GTVA tries to put a stop on the attacks, the planet below continues to change in ways that have even the most experienced scientists fearing the end result. The end result could be a great discovery...or the starting point of armageddon.
INFO: A straighforward campaign. Fly for the GTVA. Fend off the HOL. Discover the mysteries of Vasuda Prime. There will be an underlying story to uncover of course (secret
).
Anyway, just working on them in my spare time. They will be finished....whenever. Any thoughts?
