wat... How else are you supposed to show the systems under attack without a command briefing?
And the FSPort team disagrees with you. When I wrote that briefing, Galemp singled out the node map stage as one of his favorite parts.
That's the thing. I don't think it's necessary to show the systems under attack. If you don't have the capability, I wouldn't have done it. It's not something Volition would have done, so by doing that it reinforces the fact that it's just a fan campaign whereas before that, the quality of work sort of "cast an illusion" that it was not a fan campaign. Or like "wow, the quality of work and voice acting on this campaign is great. It feels just like a Volition campaign, oh wait, no no, they made a system map out of mission briefing icons."
Just list the systems off, no need for visual displays. That and on my resolution at least the map was a little cluttered, which made me think "wow that looks cluttered" rather than "oh so that's where they're attacking".
I mean it's a minor thing of course. Not "your campaign is the SUXXORS" or something. And were it not "Silent Threat: Reborn" I may not have even cared.
But anyway still got to finish it. I'm guessing I've got 2-3 missions yet including the one I'm currently dying on.
