In that case, what are the best fan missions/campaigns for FS1?


Cardinal Spear and Awakenings are both really good. :nod: More at the VWatch archives.

Thanks.  I haven't tried Cardinal Spear yet, but Awakenings is awesome!  My only complaint (minor) is that it should have been broken up into 2 campaigns.  I can't imagine anyone giving a damn about anything that came after the second Lucifer's destruction.  It would be like having 30 more minutes of film after the destruction of the Death Star in Star Wars, people would walk out of the theatre.

Awakenings was good. It had an excellent plot and some decent voice acting (Admr. Porter got on my nerves though).
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

That one where the Vasudans try to take over that planet the GTA wanted to colonize was pretty good too.  You get to blow up a ****load of Vasudan ships. :D
Gargoyles, Season 1.  Buy it, or DIE! :)

Destiny of Peace, I think it was.  If I'm not mistaken, that should also be on the Silent Threat CD. :nod:

I even got a mission in there too ;)

ST's main campaign has a handful of good missions, but the rest are mediocre or substandard.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

Duh. :p  What did you think I was talking about?

There was another decent one where you fly a Valkrie and protect a cargo group from a Cain-class cruiser.  That was hard as hell since you only got the default loadout (ML-16/Avenger and the heatseaker...forgot what it was called.  Damn its been ages since I've played FS1!)

The guy who played Dr. Lang was great; he was my favorite voice in the campaign. :D

That was also very good and had a lot of original mission and plot ideas for its time. :yes:

I liked DOP alot. In fact, here's my list of favorite campaigns (dang, I'm a nerd):

  • Derelict- Gotta love Duct tape! :D
  • Awakenings- Yet another Lucifer killing
  • Destiny of Peace- Mmm.... Conspiracies...
  • The Regulus Campaign- Yet another gift from Peanuts, and it doesn't even include any mods.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!

Ok, I gotta post this... every time I get an email reply notification to this topic, I see the question "Does Silent Threat get better?", and the first thing that runs through my head is a resounding thud of a "No." :lol:
