"...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. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Why has this been un-stickified? :confused:

Anyways, I was thinking of a test-pilot-type story, where a pilot is assigned to gaurd duty during the closed-system tests of a new Super-Destroyer, and he gets some rivals, etc,etc.

[color=66ff00]Sandwich actually proposed this whilst we were considering how to approach the upgrade. Two reasons for not choosing a total conversion that we could think of was that everyone here is here due to freespace and it's plotline which influenced them enough to make new stuff for the game.
Second reason is that most of the major TC's (starwars being a prime example) have the possibilty of drawing legal problems. We could never effectively distribute a SW conversion as it would most likely result in all media being taken by lucasarts.

The other main conversion, B5, is doing pretty well for itself and I think we'd be stepping on toes if we tried to do anything here relating to it.

by TC I meant original story, not based on some scifi show or anything. but it was just an idea ;)

[color=66ff00]Basically due to Venom's kindness we now have the use of all of the OTT models and artwork for the upgrade project if we need them. There are still quite a few slots to fill model wise (especially enemy ships) but if we do use OTT models then we have to do an awful lot less work. :nod:

All right, I think this should be done similarly to all the other campaigns (only the people working on it know the plot) but I also think it should have a much larger staff than the other campaigns.  Basically all of the HLP veterans/Gods/l33t etc. know the plot but the n00bs (myself included), and lurkers are left in the dark until it's finished.
For my plot suggestion: I remember from back in my lurking days there was someone claiming to have been one of the storywriters for FS3 before it got canceled. The story was that both the Great Wars had just been products of a bigger war between the Shivans and a fifth race: the Andarta, and that a task force was sent deep into Shivan space to investigate.
Whoa.. that was probably my biggest post yet

If we can get this guy, it would be good. Unfortunately if it was the story for FS3, then it would be copyrighted by [V].
One more thing- is their any official chat channel or someplace similar where everyone hangs out? Boards are one thing, chat is another :)

I just did a search for Freespace 2.9 and didn't find anything.  It must have been on the VBB.  Oh well, I'm sure one of the VBB survivors remembers what I'm talking about.

Singh: As far as I know (AFAIK) there is no chat only the boards
