[color=66ff00]Just for those who are looking to know how we are coming along and had inital interest in the project; the plot jury are currently looking through a bunch of plot ideas (my own included, wish me luck :) ) but we'd like more.

If you have an interesting idea for a 10 or so mission campaign; you don't need to be able to script missions, just know what is and isn't possible in FRED with the FSSCP additions, then email it to me and I'll pass it onto the jury for consideration (I'm not part of the jury so bribes won't have any effect ;) ).

Try to steer away from the usual cliches and make it as fresh and interesting as you can. Thanks all. :)

or is that too cliche?

I think the general plot for FS2.9 would work well. Years after the Great War, a subspace node to Shivan space is found/created. The GTVA sends a large complement of its newest warships, fighters, etc to conduct an armed exploration of Shivan space.

Plenty of excuses for new ships on both sides. :D

So they could do what, exactly? Grow Turnips? :p You need to put more detail into it before it can be classed as an idea.

Come on! We've had the Neo Terran Front, Hammer of Light, Galactic Terran Intelligence, and the Earth Alliance... I think it's about time we had RENEGADE SHIVANS!

A bunch of Shivans break off from the hive and the xenocidal mentality. They cast off their values and start to think of themselves as individuals... Stealing Shivan supplies, cap ships, fighters, bombers, and gaining followers. I would call them Crimson Rogues.

It's 71 years after Capella went supernova. A couple days before the Second Beta Aquilae Convention (SEBAC), the GTVA's third fleet converges on the Vega node to make the jump to Beta Aquilae. Shivan activity was not uncommon in that area and the GTVA came prepared... Maybe not well enough. An aged and battleworn Ravana escorted by 3 Molochs and a mixture of Shaitans and Taurvis exit subspace being pursued by 2 Beasts and their fighter cover...

:wtf: The shivans aren't the Borg. We aren't going to **** them over. Besides, why would they be there anyways? All the shivans were in Capella...

Out of curiosity Maeg, are we going to be releasing the losing stories? Or will that be up to the individual writers?

I voted for a sequel at first, but now I'm rooting for a side-story. Therefore, we won't contradict any current campaigns (namely Inferno and such)

[color=66ff00]Although I am only the orchestrator of this project I have to admit that I'm strongly opposed to the side story idea for FSUpgrade, it simply doesn't allow us to move forward the way a story based at a later time will.

how about a sort of NTF Remnent (don't know about the spelling there), sort of a cross between Jedi Outcast and HW Cataclysm ?
(Taidan perspective). Sort of.

as a side issue, how about FS2 style squadron changes, but you could choose between Fighter/Assualt/Bomber only Squadrons ?
(ie, once you made a choice you had to stick with it, or somethin' like that)
