I really should be introducing myself as a new member of the board... although given that a number of you have played my campaign, and are still talking about it all these years later... it almost feels like I'm returning home.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know, I'm one half of the design team that put the original Derelict campaign together... at least as far as Fred2 and the storyline were concerned... needless to say, I've been away for a while...

If you're wondering what I've been up to, I've been through two different job positions, and am in a new one now that I thoroughly enjoy. I got married, I have a 16 month old daughter who takes up a lot of my time...

Anyway, I plan on hanging out here, as well as re-acquainting myself with Freespace2... Gotta go buy a new joystick and download the SCP game.

[peterc10]

well ive only just come back.

new guy called hip63 is making a dvd version of freespace 2 scp (all in his first week).

inferno r2 and freespace (u no which number) still aren't out other than that i dont know wat u missed.

liked derelect btw, but some of the voices creeped me out a bit.

[redsniper]

they always come back...

While you were out: The SCP kept owning more and more. Blaise Russel and Ransom created some absolutely awesome campaigns. There was a hostile takeover by an0n (April Fool's joke). Derek Smart tried to make FS3 (not a joke). Derelict got revamped and voice-acted. BWO and MT still aren't done yet.

[Mad Bomber]

Great to have you back

[Black Wolf]

FRED kicks arse these days. A lot more versatile.

[peterc10]

derek smart, wasnt the guy who wanted to make fs3 but using a completely different universe and storyline.

[Sarafan]

Not much happened, only that it was discovered that Snipes was actually Petrarch's long lost son.

I'm actually looking forward to playing my own campaign with the full voice acting. I remember writing up much of the script and dialogue, although I am curious to see how someone else interprets it. I did try to make room for the sound files when I did the original campaign, but the sheer energy that goes into voice acting because a task that I didn't have time for back then. Most of the voices for the original five missions I did for myself...

I'm curious as to what has become the favorite missions from the Derelict campaign. I know what mine are, but I am curious as to what others think...

[Gloriano]

Welcome back

[Ace Pace]

Welcome back. I guess you need to sit down and check how your other baby developed.

It's grown big. 

[Sandwich]

Duuuude. Welcome back!

Hey, Icey... if this keeps up, we may have to re-open that defunct VWBB admins forum.

[IceFire]

VW Alumni definitely

[BlackDove]

Holy crap.

[Goober5000]

You know we're not going to rest until you re-voice Mackie for the entire campaign.

Ooh... I may have to play the campaign again just to narrow them down.

Off the top of my head, I think the most "holy crap, this is awesome" mission was the not the last one but the second-to-last: the mission where you blockade Beta Aquilae and destroy the Cthon.  Lots of fighting, explosions, and bombs; plus an amazing plot twist.

Mine was definitely the one where you're on sleep shift and the guy who disappeared a few weeks ago returns, although the final actual mission was very bloody good as well.

Well, the mission where you are with the lonewolf and you get to the pirate depot which has already been destroyed, then you have to protect the escort ship -- that's a total pain in the keester.  I really like playing Rites of Passage, though.  Tons of carnage.

[FlyingBadger]

Oh man, there were so many great ones in that campaign.

Defending the Phi Eridani jump node
Scanning the Shivan fleet in the nebula
The last two missions

I just finished playing it though again and there are at least another half a dozen missions just as good at those that I don't remember.

[Dark Hunter]

The riot mission. My absolute favorite.

You know we're not going to rest until you re-voice Mackie for the entire campaign.

Leave Mackie's voice alone. Ransom did an excellent job with him, and I would hate to see his voice changed.

[Mad Bomber]

- Luxor Station and the random chaos in the area, just cause I love large battles when they're well done.
- The last two missions, for the same reason.
- The defending-the-Cypher mission. I actually saved the GTD Ignatius on one occasion (4% hull), when the Nyarlathotep's beams failed to trigger. Took out the Nyogtha and Tulzcha too.
- "Wake up, sleepyhead!" Instant classic.
- For some reason, I just like Wayfarer Station. The idea of a random aggregate station just appeals to me somehow.

"I'd like to shove some duct tape up your ass"  Classic dialogue!!!!!!!!!!!!
