I still have some of the first missions I made, back in late '99 when I had my plans for a super 200 mission campaign with dynamic branching, like all of us have had at some point. :D

I need to try loading them up some time. They should be fun to play just because of how much they suck compared to my recent stuff. The gameplay is actually not bad but the story and text are downright embarrasing. :D At least I was only 13 when I made them.

Really... that's the opposite of the missions I make. My storywriting skills are very good... but I have found that I suck at making decent gameplay challenges...

Enlighten one who was not part of the FS community at that point: what was Unholy Alliance?

UA was good in my opinion. The Shivan allies bit was a nice touch. (So was the gravity bomb. :D)

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Seems like one's never alone when coming up with ideas that pretty much twist FS upside down... And with the name from an RA2YR multiplayer gametype to boot... :lol:

Or maybe it's such a broad topic that somebody could have thought it up without even having heard of UA?  It happens; I had planned to do a campaign about a cruiser and some fighters getting lost in some unexplored systems, long before BR had ever posted on HLP.
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!

Indeed.  For example, Peter Drake, in one of the first user-created missions for FS1. :)

I got FS2 in October of 2000 and played that campaign in 2001, I believe. I was actually hoping that there would be new Shivan ships in it, but that was before Shivan mods ever existed. When Inferno was released, I think that is when the first Shivan models came into existence.

Actually, Dark's SF Gorgon and SI Nirvana predate Inferno significantly. IIRC the Gorgon existed in '99 but wasn't widely available. The Gorgon is now seen in a couple of campaign mods as well as the FS Port. AFAIK the Nirvana has long since disappeared (but is similar in design to the SI Arachnas, which was in ITDOH).
