Hello everyone!

I have this idea for a reconstruction era campaign where player is playing as a pirate.

Basically, I already have two missions done and a third one on the way. But the question is : has it been done before? Are there already any campaigns like that ?

I searched Freespace Wiki and found nothing but anyway I need to ask and this seems like the best place to do so.

If I'm not being original on this one, I'll scrap this project and start something else.

I don't think so. And it sounds as if it could be very interesting.

[Jeff Vader]

I think there's one pirate campaign, or a few, on TBP but aside from that, can't think of any.

[NGTM-1R]

There aren't many/any. Somebody released one in the FS1 era, or so I've been told, but it's now Lost Forever as far as I am aware.

[Dilmah G]

Yeah it sounds like a good idea

Just a note from myself to the newer members. You don't have to tell us your campaign ideas and ask for our opinions, if you have a good idea go for it (not saying you told us your whole plot, but just in response to a larger number of people posting threads asking about their campaign ideas). Nonetheless, go for it mate

With the few pirate campaigns around, you've got a lot of room for originality and creativity. If it works out, your campaign has the potential to have a diverse plot.

The only two that really come close is Derelict (Where to pretend to be a pirate) and Homesick (Where you're a mercenary)

Don't forget Nukemod: Children Of Shiva hosted on Game Warden.
Though it's unreleased jet.

The Reconstruction era has always interested me but as far as I know theres not that many campaigns which is a shame so go for it!   

(This is when i get a huge list of campaigns that ARE based in the Reconstruction era  )

Thank you all for your replies.
You've encouraged me even more to continue working on this campaign
 
As for today, I'm planning a total of 15 missions, that will take place in Laramis, Luyten 726-8, Barnard's Star and neighboring systems.

This will be my second campaign. I decided not to release the first one to the public as it is ... well ... a bit substandard (although it served it's purpose as a fredding practice).

Welcome to the HLPBB!!!

According to your first post, you've already checked the Wiki - there are many interesting articles about FRED there,
like this one.

Your link nicely sums it up.

Thank you. I've already seen the article about pirates, and I will keep it in mind.

Basically, pirates in my campaign were never meant to be some mindless suicidal bandits . They will be more of an organised crime group, few in numbers but rarely engaging in a 'fair fight' with the enemy. Pirates will often use elements of stealth, ambush and sabotage to archieve their goals.

Your ideas are quite interesting...

There was a FS-1 Campaign called Hellwolf that was a pirate based Campaign.

I posted it on freespacemods.net

[Mobius]

Should we upgrade it?

[Dragon]

Yes.

[Macfie]

Play it first, then decide.  It was a pretty basic campaign.

[Snail]

Perhaps then not "upgrade" but rather "reimagine"?

[Mobius]

Upgrade = FSCRP-ify it

EDIT: Looks like the wolfpack's squadron logo is missing... is it available?
