So I just finished playing the Blue Planet Director's Cut and find myself itching for some more Freespace. Trouble is I've played quite a bit of it. Have gone through and loved STR, Derelict, Sol a History, Procyon Insurgency, the canon campaigns... now looking for something new.

I'm in the mood for a campaign with some epic battles. Honestly, I could sit and play the penultimate mission of Blue Planet or certain SAH missions all day but it's time for something new. Can someone toss me a few recommendations of a new, great, and epic campaign to play?

[Herra Tohtori]

The Babylon Project? Raider Wars and Fortune Hunters campaigns. I suspect there are other memorable campaigns for it as well, but I haven't played in a too long time.

[General Battuta]

Transcend, in a sense, though it's probably not epic in the way you're looking for - it's got an epic story but not particularly epic battles.

[Dark Hunter]

I'd say the final battle was pretty epic.

Spoiler:

Fighting a trans-dimensional being that is mind-controlling your friends in subspace to creepy sad music is what I call epic.

[General Battuta]

Javito, in the name of all that is good and holy, please do not read what is in that spoiler text.

[Klaustrophobia]

the final battle was epically irritating is what it was.

[Droid803]

All you had to do was stop, then pitch up continuously while firing at the Pegasus
For like an hour.

Would Fury's AI profiles stop the AI from glitching up like that?

[ShadowGorrath]

Fury's AI profiles actually made it worse for DEFCON FreeSpace, but anyway...

Hey, why hasn't anyone mention 'Ancient-Shivan War' here yet?

I'd also recommend 'Dawn of Sol', since it's inspired by 'Sol: A History', but it seems that it's pretty buggy and didn't receive good enough responses.

[General Battuta]

Dawn of Sol missions could have been epic, but weren't tested nearly heavily enough. They're just irritating instead. Player task overload does not produce fun.

Agree! My rage internal organs blows hard... even couple of times i make a *invisible* post full of really bad words about this one ... but i never press post button 
Finished this today and feeling was really reliefied.

And Ancient Shivan war is just too short at the moment. While being nice it felt too much like a prequal to the "real" campaign.

[General Battuta]

'Nice' is a good word for its missions. They were pretty dull by and large.

[Javito1986]

So... besides Transcend and the ones I've played it's looking pretty bleak?

I did d/l TBP though, that certainly has a lot of promise.

[Lucika]

*checks his FS folder*

Rain on Ribos 4? FOW? Warzone? Inferno?

[General Battuta]

Inferno R1 definitely had some pretty epic battles.

Oh! The Procyon Insurgency had a couple great ones.

[Klaustrophobia]

there was a campaign hidden in the bonus missions of FS1 Silent Threat where you started out as a traffic cop at an installation and eventually uncover some dirty dealings in the GTA.  has anyone converted this for FSO that you know of?  i liked that campaign.

[Nuclear1]

Yep, the Port team converted it a while back. Destiny of Peace was its name.

[TrashMan]

How do you define "epic" these days anyway? The word is thrown around like crazy....

I've decided to replace the usage of Epic with Glorious.
So this thread would be "The most glorious of campaigns?"

[Dragon]

Of course, you can be sure that BP: WiH would qualify once it's released (it wouldn't be epic, but EPIC!!!, like songs by Rhapsody of Fire).
