i'll point out mine...

bugs.. like
A) ones that make FS2 freeze up
B) tiny little errors done in the freding stage where you have to escort a convoy of large vessels, and one of them is a GTF Ulysses.

[Gloriano]

Bad story, and badly designed missions and then, suprise what peoples would not expect me to say is. Bad grammar and spelling in missions.

[Fergus]

You're right, we didn't expect that, nor do we expect every new campaing to have some new unexpected encounter with more Shivans..oh no, never suspect them.

Backgrounds that are badly done. Nebulas should follow a pattern, a bright center with fainter nebulas around it, a band like the milkyway etc. some structure in them. I hate it when they are splattered wildly over the screen.

And...wrong lighting on the planets. It isn't that hard to set that up correctly, but some people seem to forget about that.

Er - that's not an error in the FREDding stage.  That's an error on your end, because you have conflicts with the table files.

[karajorma]

Well it can occassionally be due to the designer leaving a ship out of the VP

It's an easy mistake to make

[pecenipicek]

bad, fungus-like overgrown textures...

[TopAce]

Neither that is a FREDing error, unless you blame the FREDer for not having a good taste by putting in ugly-looking ships.

Invalidate this post if you were thinking about overscaled nebula images. I don't like that, too.

And of course, no one would ever suspect the NTF to somehow procure a fleet out of nowhere and make yet another comeback.

Ooh, and just to spice it up, let's have them team up with the HOL, despite being racist against Vasudans!

One other thing.  Ship names, I hate when people use them badly, or blow up some ship that wasn't meant to blow up.  Just bad use of cannon names (I remember seeing a GTC Bastion in a user campaign once...can't remeber which.)

[Kie99]

Well there was a Myrmidon in ST that was an Orion...

Mwhahahaha...horror of horrors, I seem to be planning something original.

Pet peeve : missions where if you play it on "hard" all of your wingmates die about 1/5th of the way through, and you're stuck alone for the rest of it.

"Alpha, we need you to take down that Demon class cruiser!"

Gee thanks, I'm flying a Myrmidon with Hornet missiles and Prom-Rs, and now I have to spend the next hour chiseling away at this cruiser *by myself*.  

SImilar problem: Missions with 20 minutes worth of "fluff" (oversee cargo transfer, blow up  three herc 1s,  escort a transport to way points that are 5 minutes away), and after the fluff, 20 ships jump in and blast the **** out of you.  Now you get to play through the fluff all over again!

This strikes me as an odd thing for you to post.

   Uh oh, if my campaign is ever finished that'll only be the first few missions, I swear!

This, regarding to overscaled nebulae?

My point on this is that if I make missions that are long, I do not  make them hard, at most I put the tough part at the beginning so you would not lose too much effort if you get blown up or you lose the mission. I confess, one of the JtEP missions is an exception to this, but that is only one example. Anyway that campaign is short, so I had to lengthen its duration with a trick of some sort.

I am joking, that was no point.

I hate it when there is loads of dialogue during battles and I'm too busy to read it.

Play on FSO and turn the speech synthesis options on.
