A campaign where your in a small Rebel Taskforce (mostly Corvettes and a few fighters) being relentlessly pursued by an Imperial Star Destroyer which culminates in a final battle where you must hold out until a MonCal ship arrives.

We'll need the Battle of Endor that's for sure.

If the imperial shadow fighter is included, (from rebel assault), it could be included in a few missions on some kind of secret campaign, or special assignments. We could say that some of those survived and are used after the battle of endor.

On the part of the Empire I would be for a Kampange during the Thrawn Crisis.

For the rebels campaign Dark empire would be quite nice.

the first thrawn trilogy is definitely on our minds once we get the shipset up and running.

the time just after the thrawn duology is when i want to make my campaign.

I like this. Corvettes are quick and have decent firepower, making them good for fast strikes. I want to play as this task force doing the stuff that provokes a ISD to chase it down first, then running away is good.

GIMME MY STINKING DREADNAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or at least a carrack- those two ships look AWESOME)

why do i always seem to be the person that kills threads?

Well, the outward appearance of your posts is sure to discourage people from replying. The lunatic tone in, for example, the 'give us endor' part is, well, kind of strange.

The amount of exclamation marks in a post is inversely proportional to the general quality and maturity of the post.
Using capital letters to express intensive emotions, like in 'flight INSIDE the DS', remind at least me of dsmart's style of posting, and that just makes my blood boil.

Then, phrases like 'GIMME MY STINKING DREADNAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' are not only in capital letters and full of exclamation marks, but also sound quite rude. In these forums we use a little word called 'please'.

Next, I once again advise you to master the url tags here at the forums (see jr2's manual for url tags.

That being said, there's also the option that maybe people just don't have anything to say.

kill me

Gladly!  Where do you live?  I'll be there sometime this evening.  You can meet me outside, I doubt your dad wants to clean up the mess.

GIVE...... US........ ENDOR!!!!!!!!! i mean the flight INSIDE the DS.

I've been wondering...... Since the beginning, every fredder who has some skill has been avoiding the battle of endor syndrome. In case we decide to make the battle of endor mission, how could it be done without filling space with thousands of ships? Or rather, how would it be possible to give a feel of thousands of ships around us?
Perhaps making a background?

[Snaga]

  mmmm ..... forgot to end the quote after the "Inside the DS" sentence.
Sorry

[brandx0]

I've already got a loose structure set out for the Endor battle.  Trust me, it'll be good, and it won't have "Battle of Endor Syndrome"

Even though it's the Battle of Endor... hehe

Oh, and for the record, the Battle of Endor was relatively small compared to some of the other battles such as seen in the prequels.  There were only about 60 Star Destroyers at Endor, and about 50 or so rebel ships.

[maje]

Speaking of Endor, does anyone know what the exact stats for each fleet was?  Unfortunately, there is a lot of information lapses and debate, particularly of what classes of ships, how many, and name identification.  We know that there are several MC80 Star Cruisers, mainly the Reef Home, Defiance, Maria, and Liberty, as well as Home One (I've heard this designated as an MC85, not sure if it's appropriate or not).  Other questions are if the Independence and Home One are one and the same, or two entirely different ships altogther, plus then we have to take into account the number of Corellian Corvettes (are they all CR90s, or were there any CR70s and captured Assassin-class? (X-wing Alliance gives the Masanya as a Modified Corvette (conjectured to be the same thing as an Assassin-class), though the X-wing series has been known to screw up canon from time-to time)), Nebulon-B Frigates, Gallofree Medium Transports, the two Braha'tok gunships, and the Flurry (Truce at Bakura)  There must be other ship-classes as well, since there are a whole slew of unidentified background ships in the Rebel Fleet during the end of The Empire Strikes Back, plus whatever other ships that generally are considered numerous (such as the Corellian Gunships).

With the Empire, it's a bit less complicated, however, were all the Imperators mark Is or mark IIs? How many Tectors were there.  Supposedly there was a Carrack-class Light Cruiser (this came from the story on Hyerspace that created the history for the Braha'tok Gunships), a communications jamming vessel, and at least one squadron of TIE Defenders (this may be inaccurate, I can't remember where I got the info for the TIE Defenders).

As for actual game play mechanics, I know XWA broke up the Battle of Endor into four missions, the Intial Attack, Destroy the Executor, Clear Fighter Screen, Destroy the Reactor.

Personally, I would prefer a huge battle which I think could be done similar to how Wing Commander Saga did it's autopilot feature for the Prologue Campaign, and also with a recent Babylon project tech demo where there's a seamless transition from realspace to hyperspace (though there may be stability issues with this one).

Say, the player gets within a certain range of a bitmap that's representing a Star Destroyer, and the bitmap is taken out, and a model returns in it's place.  (Not sure how practical that is or even possible).  The B5 tech demo simply swapped one backdrop for another.  Don't know if that'll work for a model.

Hey, what about also including the "wraith" squadron's oddyssey as a campaign? This was a nery nice story.

it could be done with a LOD, since i dont know if fred is capable of doing it (never made any missions myself though )

[TopAce]

It's possible in FRED, technically. What it looks like is a different matter.
