WORK IN PROGRESS: Deadly Secrets...
So, I want you all to see, what I'm cocking up!
The campaign plays 10 years after the destruction of the Capella star. The starsystem Barnard's star has never explored like the other systems of the GTVA. Only one outpost called Humar is there, holding the line. :D
But there is more than the GTVA thought. Unidentified signals from the middle of the system are making unsure, if there is more than some pirates or something like that.

The brotherwar:
After the crazy admiral Atapeth decided to build a new rebellion, he declared to form an old tradition of the Vasudans new. The brotherwar. That war will cost more lives than the Great war. The Secrets of the GTVA will be deadly. Deadly secrets!

Well, that is it for the moment. I'll give more informations later. But please give your comments to this! The campaign should be good. Thanks a lot!

Re: WORK IN PROGRESS: Deadly Secrets...
Make sure you come up with a reason for their being so many ships involved in it if it costs more lives than the great war.

A ton of ships showing up are gonna make people question where they came from. Not shooting your idea, just masking sure you thought of that.

  
Re: WORK IN PROGRESS: Deadly Secrets...
Thank you for your comment.
I thought of this, I just forgot it to write it down over there. :rolleyes:
At first, the GTVA searched for many places in their worlds where the survivors from the battle of Capella can live. Actually some of them find a place they could call home. But many others don't. And there is the system Barnard's star which is very imprecise explored. And so, the GTVA thought they get a place for all of the survivors of the destruction of the Capella star.
Then, the GTVA finds the remains of the Hammer of Light. Actually the attack the remaining troops of the "HoL". But the last finish stroke will be arranged by Atapeth and his rebellion. And this rebellion also attacks some ships and the outpost in the system and destroyed most of them. Actually there is a bloody war, because they want to get Atapeth. Like in the FS 2 Main campaign with Bosch.
But you are right, often the player is asking: Where does this ship come from? I hope I can answer that question with this explanation. Please give me more Feedback. Thank you very much!

Re: WORK IN PROGRESS: Deadly Secrets...
Well don't give away too much of the story.

But I think you may do well to deal with less ships. A new colony, post war...limited resources.

These things lend to smaller scale fights where ship loses really really matter.

Not just giant battles where you hurl forces at each other.

But it's your show.

 
Re: WORK IN PROGRESS: Deadly Secrets...
Thanks! Even there not only big epic fights. Even most of the first missions are smaller. Thank you again for your comment!

Sorry for the double post, I don't know if this is allowed or not. Just want to ask if anyone else has a comment or a question.

General practice is to use the little modify button at the top right of a post.  :)
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

Comment: It sounds interesting.
Question: When is it expected to release?  :D

 
Re: WORK IN PROGRESS: Deadly Secrets...
Well, I don't know exactly. I hope (and work) it will release at September 2009. But I don't know exactly. Thank you for your comment! Imposible Uncorrect

Re: WORK IN PROGRESS: Deadly Secrets...
Cool, I like the idea.

As a little word of warning though, it's not a great idea to set a release date as it tends to cause people to complain, either because the campaign was rushed and is full of FREDing and spelling errors or because you can't meet the deadline.

Also, if you ever need any help with grammar or whatnot (I know English isn't your first language) there are many people willing to give you a hand. (Not that I'm expecting an illegible campaign.)

But don't let me discourage you, it's a great idea and I'm looking forward to playing it :nod:

Nice. Just asking, but are you writing this out in a word .doc? My advice is to load a word .doc up with all your ideas and mission outlines etc, it really helps when you need it :)

Wow! Thanks.
Am I writing this in a word doc? Yes I do, and I will ask if I need help! Thanks a lot!
