The time has come, All Hands To War


Mission 1 -

Command Breifing, Stage 1

Welcome to the GTD Minnow pilot. I'm Admiral Palardy, and I'll be in command of you and your squadron. Because of your brother’s recommendation, you have been assigned to Alpha wing.Untill your skills are up to spec, Commander Suppa will fly as Alpha 1, and you will be Alpha 2. We have no doubts that you will gain the skills required to command the squad.

Stage 2

*Quarterdeck Breifing

Briefing Stage 3

The fighters of Kappa wing will assist your srike force in any way possible.

Stage 4

There are also several wings of fighters in the system, possibly capeable of jumping to your area.

And that's just mission 1. I'd go further, bu I don't want to give away spoilers. Mission 1 also red alerts for no perceptible reason, and then tells you you'll be flying Anubises, though the nature of RA missions means you fly exactly what you flew last mission. There are other small errors and such all through the parts I played.

I'm not trying to be overcritical here. It's just that yu have to realize, the plot, mission and mod design etc. etc. may be the most incredible in FS history, but it's the little details that people notice, and it's the mistakes that people remember. Pay attenbtion to the little details, eliminate the mistakes, and you could have a great campaign here. Without them, well, it isn;t so great.

I know I spellchecked every word... How those got through all 3 people... I don't know... And I remember fixing the word Briefing... As for the RA, personally, im no so keen on the whole Return To Base thing in missions I make... It HAD to end there, incase the player chose to disable a cruiser, and kill it, since they pop up again in mission 3... I just see RAs as a way for the mission to end when I want it to... It's not going to be a common event after the demo though... AS for the Anubises, the very first paragraph in the mission 2 briefing explains it...

I haven't been able to finish the first mission either... I'm thinking having infinite waves of bombers isn't the best thing to do with this one... I order my wingmen to protect the cruiser and go after the bombers myself... and without fail, the cruiser goes down after I kill about 5 waves of bombers. It doesn't make any sense for them to come out of subspace close enough to the cruiser that 3 of them live long enough to fire off bombs no matter what I do....

Yes, I was part of the AHTW team.
I remember saying that it would make a great campaign if it used the FS1 Port.  I thought it would be a better looking campaign.  I have to look for some of the original (old ass) missions if I still have them.

Sorry I kinda bailed out Hippo.  I had become too busy to even look at my computer.

I'll reinstall and try again.

*edit*
Patched and unpacked all the files and it works great now.  Some of those missions are difficult.

Worked for me too, and now that my machine is up and running again, I'll get back in and try it again.

Well, as a playtester I managed to beat the first mission, on easy or very easy, whichever. But not on normal.
