They're in 90% of all FS2 campaigns.

Re: RELEASE: Storm Front I - Prophecy
Okay, I see your point. I also think that StormFront II isn't as good as the first part. In retrospect it may not have been the best idea to bring in the Shivans so early. But SFII it is a necessary basis for later (Episode IV).

But in Episode III there won't be any Shivans. :)

As are pirates, or rebels or a hostile Sol Faction and so on. It's nearly impossible to do something completely new or never-seen-before. After ten years it's only natural that we run out of ideas. Also Shivans are The-Big-Bad-EnemyTM of Freespace.

Usually though they have new weapons. I hope that SF2 will have some cool-looking Shivans rather than reuse the old Shivan ships we're all familiar with.

Re: RELEASE: Storm Front I - Prophecy
New ships? Uh, oh. I fear, you will really disappointed by the campaign. This plays just two years after Capella. So there won't be any new ships. :(

Edit: By the way, I like the speed in which you have been doing the releases. How many missions does part II have? Hopefully as many as part I or a least more than 10. The fact that you are able to release it so fast though makes me worry that there aren't many missions in part II.
22 missions. But not all of them are brand new. The original version of Part II was finished about a year ago, but since then MANY things changed dramatically. Only eight or nine missions of the original campaign remain in the final release.

Nice campaign so far. Ok, I have troubles getting Lambda out of the trap in the junkyard in SF:1, but well, guess I'll just have to try harder.

Only thing that I found a bit odd was the changing avaibility of the ships - one mission I get the Erinyes, next one I don't. One mission I get the Tauret, next one there's none.

That's just in a few missions, because some of them would've been a bit too easy with such heavy fighters in my eyes.

Yeah, I think so too, but as far as I saw it, the heavy ones wouldn't really be necessary anyway, so maybe just scrap them and give them a bit later to the player?

But well, before I just argue over a really minor thing, let me say again: great campaign. If I find the time, I might even go over some of the missing translations if thats ok for you?

Thank you. :) It's okay for me, though I myself couldn't find any more missing translations in my last overwork.

@High Max
I updated several things in the tbls (Some balance issius with the new weapons). Mainly, I made several missions a lot easier, e.g. hostiles don't use the Prometheus S anymore - only in a very few missions at the end.

So are the links on the front page for the "bug free" version, I figured I'd wait until stuff got smoothed out before I download.

∞ Why not? There might be new GTVA and Shivan ships. Please note how during the main FS2 campaign technologies that were being developed became available to use...there must have been more WIP ships and weapons that didn't become available before the end of the conflict. ∞

Re: RELEASE: Storm Front I - Prophecy
Since I'm no ship designer, you wouldn't meet any ships you didn't know from over mods already, anyway. In future StormFront Episodes, there will be some new ships and weapons, but for now it's just the Amalthea class (My own tbl-mod after all. ;-)) and the Cairo installation.

I didn't know that new ship/weapons mods are such important for the campaign players here. :)

Okay, I was finally able to download this, but for some reason it tells me the root files are an unsupported archive.  The mission files extracted just fine.  Help Please.
