Even the main FS2 campaign did that once. cant remember where.

In the Great Hunt(FS2), where a Cain was indicated as a Lilith.
If the mission name is unfamiliar, it is the mission where you encounter the Ravana first. It blows up the GTCv Lysander and sometimes the Actium as well.

hold on there partner! if you have 3 jump nodes, then they always have to be on the same plane, because three points always make a flat triangle.

[Goober5000]

They probably meant the XZ plane, not any old plane.

[karajorma]

I assume he means on a flat plane with everything else in the mission.  

[Goober5000]

You know, it would be pretty funny if a FREDder went out of his way to put all the ships on a single 2D plane... but the plane wasn't aligned on the XY, XZ, or YZ planes in FRED.

aww... the logic... it hurts my head..

[karajorma]

How would anyone tell except by looking in FRED

      That wouldn't be hard, all he'd need to do is put everything on the standard plane, and then once everything was in place, selected it all and move and/or rotate it around. No big deal.

Rushed over-confident n00b campaigns. Like that one guy with the wierd username made on the NTF awhile ago.

Every mission was near impossible, involving hundreds of fighters attacking Alpha 1, whose wingmen die instantly, leaving everything to him.

Furthermore, grammar was bad, systems were messed up (wrong jump nodes and such), spelling was terrible, and it was generally as if it had never been tested.

[NGTM-1R]

Or possibly he was a massively more skilled player then you (or me) and could beat that many fighters with ease.

Goober: You've inspired me. I'm going to do that.

Quit making pointless posts.  It's called spamming, and it's annoying.

[pecenipicek]

i responded to karajorma's inquiry

(i wonder did i spell that right?)

and i know that i sometimes SPAM but its rather rare...

[karajorma]

I think you need to explain it to us then. Cause I didn't understand how it could possibly be a sensible answer to my comment and by the looks of it neither did anyone else.

[TopAce]

I guess he wanted to be witty...

Well, as I've said before, the Fredders here have had a hell of a lot more time to work out how to use Fred than [V] had. So a lot of people here could easily write missions that surpassed the [V] originals.

As for what I don't like in a mission, silly oversights, like in Op. Templar when you chase after the transports like mad, disable the engines, only to watch helplessly as your AI wingman obliterate the target you were supposed to capture.

[karajorma]

That's actually a pretty good point Flip. I've probably spent more time in FRED than any of the [V] Designers ever did.  And that doesn't include all the stuff I've learnt from bouncing about ideas on here

[pecenipicek]

man i hated that... in FS1 when you have to capture the vasudan Isis Rasputin when you were barely disable it your wingmen blow it up..
