What kind of features are you excpecting/do you guys like/want from the "average" campaign? (things like how long it is, additions to weapons, edited tables)

My campaign ( FreeSpace 2: Distorted Reality ) will have a fair amount of small additions such as: more weapons, possibly a massive fighter sized heavy missle, and more player-flyable shivan craft (there is more, but I don't want to spoil it).

In short, if you could choose one feature to add to this campaign, what would you add?



PLEASE HALP ME HALP YOO!!!

Me, I just like campaigns with a good story. Take Technological Superiority for instance. It had great potential, but it seemed... thrown together. There were several glaring plotholes, the coding was poor, and I had to seriously tweak a few missions to get them to work, since the guy failed to properly input some new textures.


So, just make sure that it works, before releasing it. I get really really tired of fixing mistakes I find in campaigns....

[NGTM-1R]

I'll settle for coherent story, as long as it's fun to play.

[Nuclear1]

As long as I can play through it without experiencing too many bugs, I'll be happy. The story should make some sort of sense as well. As long as you get that down, then I'll gladly play it.

Just one big release...like me.

Good history(but I prefer something original rather than cool stuff I have seen and re-seen before).
New ships and weapons,as well as changes on already present stuff are ok.
A different storyline to the one we saw before.Something like "What could happen if...".

[TrashMan]

I actually had grand plans for mycampaign... but they dwindled.

Jsut chapter 1 was supposed to have more ships (like hte NTCv Echelon - the tragedy is that the ship is done, but hte missions with it have been throw out) and more missions - but lack of help caused tthis plan to be cut to size.
I even planned a branching storyline with 4 endings.

Guess I'll have to leave that for Chapter 3

The only thing I ever want for a campaign is for the creator to write the story first, then decide what mods they need.

It's not exactly a principle I've been good at following in the past.......

You forgot the Star Wars Empire Fleet, the Alliance Fleet, A BoE Mission or 10 and the Minbari versus the Shadows!

[Colonol Dekker]

Ahhh, crud

Also the battle of hoth...........with ewoks.

Put the Romulans too....

You can't have a good campaign without Bosch Beer!

[Aardwolf]

I'd like to see some sort of... explosion... like... thingy.

If you can build a story around a new ship, it has to be a good one (I don't mean it's automatically good, I mean it must be made well). Building a story around a group of new ships would be harder. Especially if your ships suck. But that's a modding issue, not a Missions and Campaigns issue.

[CP5670]

I mainly like to have fun gameplay with a balanced difficulty and minimal mission bugs. A believable story (doesn't necessarily have to be epic or original, but something well thought out that gives the missions some context) helps a lot and mods can also be good if used correctly, but the gameplay comes first as far as I'm concerned.

And the Shivan homeworld. You can't omit that. It's about the only thing I remember from Plasma's old RAMALAMADINGDONG Campaign thread.

That should be an HLP law; if you're going to make a campaign, it is mandatory to include at least one obscure mentioning of Bosch Beer somewhere in your campaign. So say we all.


Back OT: Regarding what I want in a campaign; just good characters. I just want characters that are fun to hear about, to fly with, and that you actually feel something should they die. Homesick is really one of the only campaigns that have really done it for me, I mean, who didn't love token Vasudan?

Thank you for helping, most of the useful ideas here will be taken and used in my campiagn. Please keep posting what you would like in it, though. These ideas not only help my project, but will probably help some other persons project, too!

P.S. Nuclear1, did you receive the e-mail I sent you about  my project? I sent it to your Yahoo! account.
C'mon! I need you. (It seems as though one of my other testers has deserted me, but I'm still bugging him with e-mails too).
