can sum1 make a campaign that takes from when the colossus is supposed to get destroyed, it takes over like a monster?  In other words, can a campaign be made where the colossus doesnt get destroyed, and the GTVA destroys the Shivans for good?!?!?!  I would love that, and Ill help as best i can if it happens!

[Charismatic]

It can happen, any FREDer or campaign maker can do it. But IMHO i dont think any will by your asking. It takes time and even more time. And effort to say the least.
EDIT: And yeah. That would be so unfun i would not even finish it, even if i foreced myself to start it. Defeat the shivans with 1 colici? Impossible and rediculous. That would be a mockery of FS2..

OMFG!!!111oneoneone
I doubt you'll be able to get anyone to "make you" a campaign - if you want it, you'll most likely have to do it yourself.

I can just smell the flames and personal attacks coming from a mile away.

Just as a future warning, ZmaN: though you don't intend anything harmful, or you simply don't no any better, it is often best to not post threads such as this, simply because you'll get a response like UT's.

The Colossus was never designed to go toe to toe with a Sathanas juggernaught.  It was designed to defeat a much smaller and less powerful ship (i.e. the Lucifer).  You'll notice that the Sathanas had to be defanged for the Colossus to even have a chance....even a single primary beam cannon would tip the scales and allow the Sathanas to defeat the Colossus.

SO...try and beat 80 Sathanas class juggernaughts.  Not even with 80 Colossus' to match would you win.

Plus that goes into the area of total mediocrity as the ships keep getting bigger and bigger and more powerful and then its just sort of silly.

1) You're gonna have to make it yourself
2) Before you make it yourself, get used to using better grammer. Unless you plan for it to be a joke campaign.
3) Go read a book, or play some other campaigns. Figure out what you like about them. Figure out what they did well, and what they did badly. Figure out how they kept you interested.
4) Then start writing the campaign.

I'm sure that there's a way for one Colossus to neutralize 80 Sathanases. After all, the Stargate writers came up with a semi-plausible way to wipe out virtually the entire fleet of a highly-advanced interstellar dictator playing god, using a black hole, a flying pyramid, and a two-story high grey ring.

Thrawn could've done it.

Screw the Colossus. Alpha 1 will destroy the Shivans for good.

Thrawn's a loser. Carter would kick his butt any day of the week.

If all else fails, Carter would kiss Thrawn and then he'd die as all of Carter's loves have... (well minus that stalker cop, but he doesn't count)

Now, who's talking!
You do know that you write your posts and mission dialogue in a different way... he would not use sum1 for example. Stop bashing newbies and people with bad grammar, it's so cheap. I know it is amazing and makes you feel happy, but you simply avoid the fact (again) that guests who read these kind of threads will never register and even attempt to make anything for the community.

I think HLP needs more bans. Wait... *rewords*... Admins must use the ban button more often.

As for the topic:
It would be possible anyway. The main problem is that we have very few(if any) what-would-have-happened-if campaigns. The majority deals with events after and before the events of FS2, not during. I only remember Neo-Terra to be a what-would-have-happened-if campaign, you play as the NTF there.
Other problem is, that people here hate the Colossus. They would be more amazed to see a mission where a Fenris destroys three Colossi (<-Has it been approved what the heck is the plural of 'Colossus' after all?).
Such campaign would also require a hell amount of missions. Destroying all the juggernauts? That would be at least 80 missions, not to mention that having Destroy the Sathanas-type missions becomes monothone and boring after a while.
If you have FREDding knowledge, enthusiasm and time to make such a campaign, you're welcome. I would certainly play it and beat it if you make it acceptably difficult.

Carter?

Well, I guess that fits in with the overall munchiness of her character. But AFAIK Carter hasn't ever really been presented as a tactical genius, more good at coming up with ways to use bits of technology to achieve a goal.

That may sound the same, but there's a definite elegance to the way Thrawn went about things as opposed to Sam.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I try to come up with useful suggestions.

do you guys remember the Thrawn vs Bosch thread?  I still got to go with Thrawn on that one.

Spelling is a part in a larger whole called grammar.
