Burn the land boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me. There's no place I can be since I've found Serenity. But you can't take the sky from me." - Ballad of Serenity

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

You forgot to mention the Space Crack.

Re: What do you want in a campaign?
Things I expect from campaigns:

1. Playability, balanced or rather easy difficulty Many campaigns I have played just lacked any playability because of the difficulty.
2. A plot that makes sense. It should also be close to reality and should never exaggerate. No two fleets of dozens of juggernauts facing off each other. No resurrected war heroes.
3. Thorough FREDding: no overlapping messages, immediately accomplished mission goals/directives. Using the Escort List, Initial Orders, disabling Player Orders for critical mission craft and any kind of transports, freighters, and cruisers.

I agree entirely. This is the reason I liked Sync, and to some extent, Transcend.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Ransom Arceihn takes care of similar stuff...

Anyway most players would like a good ending,not 100% good(major losses)but not completely unhappy.

Re: What do you want in a campaign?
*Alpha 1 limps off in his damaged Herc II into the distant glow of the Capellan Supernova, The piano theme music from the original Hulk series plays in the background. The camera pans back to the debris of his wingmates, the shot widens and you see a derelict Sathanas and derelict Deimos class cruisers, a sobek or two and an Arcadia station, the evidence of a huge battle taking place. A Mara drifts in to view, apparently dead in space, its engines flicker, then burst back into life. The piano music fades out, dramatic music fades in as the Mara turns to follow Alpha 1, as it pulls away we see that it is followed by its three wingmates. Fade out....................*

Re: What do you want in a campaign?
meh, both happy and unhappy endings are overrated. They just need to balance out. Like in the main campaign, you lose the Colossus, but you destroy the....Sathanas. That balances out. The best ending I have ever read is in the Hand of Thrawn duology. Anyone read it? No, you should....

Re: What do you want in a campaign?
Lots of extra st00f :)

K fine, a good plotline, a couple extra ships for variety, (can be from other mods), a few big, big, big fights (capship battles, couple 100 fighters (in waves)), like the one in derelict where you bring in the lucy to the station.

Make it like derelict, but with a different plot. And warn us if we need any mods, cause it's really hard to defend an unshielded, suicidal ulysses from seraphim launching harpoons.

 
Re: What do you want in a campaign?
A good campaign designer should include whatever mods are needed with the release. That's just common sense. (ie, NOT Tech Superiority. The two major modded ships were missing completely, and I had to hunt them down myself.  :mad:)
