The Campaign has been renamed 'Destruction'. More fitting for the plotline.

Damn and I was about to make a joke about having 30 Colossi and 50 Sathani to beat 2nd Great War, since you obviously have to have more of everything in a sequel. :p
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

VC, where are you located?  (you can PM me or just post you'd like to keep that private or whatever)  The reason I'm asking is I want to search for a better ISP for you...  I pay $45 US a month for mine, unlimited cable internet.  Tied in with $25 / month Vonage, you could actually save money in some circumstances.  (And you can keep your phone number in Vonage, + unlimited local & long distance.)

hi,
nice idea and a lot of work, i wish you the best  :yes:.

but one question: you said that the GTVA heavily integrated Shivan technologie, but that the beam weapons faded out.
i think thats antagonism.
because its based on the shivans and the shivans had far more advance beams as the GTVA.

I am now on the team (partially).

The GTVA also studied other Shivan technology that was never seen before, and utilized this to make more powerful weapons, such as the Subspace beam.

hi,
mhh ok, the terrans and vasuander show really good that they can copy and improve shivan tech.

This won't be a cliche 'super duper' everything. In fact, everything is not 'bigger' and more. The missiosn will feel a bit more intense, due to the speed and pace of it all, but yea i decided against calling it 3GW since it sounded a little cliche.


And the name 'Destruction' actually has 3 different meanings for this campaign. You'll figure them all out by the end.  ;)

Snail knows what im talking about (shhh dont reveal too much)

Just because they integrated shivan tech, doesn't mean its all about beam cannons. The discovery of Tachyon energy means that they've totally revamped GTVA cap ship warfare. the Terrans and Vasudans have different methods of warfare to give them both an indivdualistic feel, and also gives them an edge in battle when they fight in unison.

As some of you may know, Tachyon Energy is based on the theory that it can fire projectiles faster then the speed of light. Now because the new torpedoes fired from Terran ships are so heavy, they wont fire at the speed of light, but they will fire extremely fast, making them nigh-impossible to shoot down.

Vasudan ships use Tachyon energy to fire what would normally be a slow moving laser projectile at blindingly high speeds. The laser itself normally would not do much damage, but the extreme high speed at which it is fired makes it impact with great force.

All the remaining beam cannons that were left over from the GTVA have been used for the RBC's and Gunships.

Oh, and since Snail blew the whistle on the Subspace Cannon, i'll explain what that is.

Exerpt from Dr Ashen

"After Capella, the GTVA was left with an abundance of questions about how the Sathanas fleet blew up the Capella star, but we were also left with an abundance of data and scientific information. By using the theoretical energy designs, we were able to produce a weapon that utilises subspace energy into an unstable coherent beam. In practice, the beam is fired directly at an enemy warships engines and FORCES it to initiate its subspace drive. However, since the drive is not properly aligned and the ship not ready for the jump, the corridor it enters is unstable, and as a result, the entire ship would implode upon entry. This weapon was to be our answer to any future Juggernaut incursions."

The current team for DESTRUCTION consists of:-

Myself (Plot/Storyline, mission scripting, voice acting, modelling)
{303}Shiv (Modelling, FRED'ing)
Hades (Modelling)
GenericCorvette (Audio, FRED'ing)
Snail (Part-time) (Plot/storyline, mission scripting)

Quite a team if you ask me. All very skilled blokes.  :D

think i may be missing someone, but my memory sucks these days.

Ok, you have a new alien race which you will face and I am assume that the new race is evenly matched to the future GTVA. My question is how did the new race survive against the shivans? The shivans attacked races that expanded their territory and as the ancients said "The destroyers took note." If this new alien race is so powerful to take on the GTVA, how did the shivans not know about the race before and destroyed them. I doubt the race where able to stop the shivans because lets face it, the shivans are very powerful and have a huge amount of numubers on their side. GTVA just got very, very lucky. In FS1, the shivans only stop moving forwards after the lucifer was destroyed which was just luck that the vasudans found the answers on Altair. In FS2 if the shivans wanted to destroyed the GTVA it was well within their power but didn't for reasons unknown. How did the new race evade shivans?
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

All will be revealed in time. As we make progress, we will reveal small snippets of the campaign. I dont want to give away a great deal because then if you get all the spoilers, you know whats going to be in the campaign.

Dude, I didn't tell everyone about the subspace weapon, I read it before I even talked to you... :confused:

Oh, you have no idea. ;)

Do you mean the Shivans or the fact that the subspace cannon was leaked?
