Read the techroom, their ideology is actually very interesting. Cometary Man as the future of mankind, Shivan-proof and unlimited in its expansion.

There's a perfectly good planet down there we've been living on for millions of years, it's anyones guess why these punks want to live on a ****ing comet. No wonder they're so stupid. Their ideology is laughable.

In fact they're the only group I actually have a hatred for. I hope we get to p4wn them a bit in WiHR2.

Gef ships are powered by renewable energy: Solar Wind Power!

Of course any claim of Shivan-proofing is not wise, nor likely to survive emperical experiment.

Just for anyone who wasn't here for the fanboying over Steele, me and Dilmah G are currently brainstorming ideas for this GTVA campaign.

Anyone who lieks to IRC, there is now an IRC channel on esper called "#bp-tev". Join in and help us think of new ways to kill Buntu!

Success on Useful Dave's part then.

Snail, I will seriously get on to the IRC at some point and help you out. I'm always up for killing Buntu.

Nope, but the ability to disseminate the population across interstellar distances without subspace travel is a definite plus for the claim.

hey i have a Shivan proof idea!, make highly mobile mini-konosi and place them anywhere you THINK Shivans may get through and use them to PREVENT nodes from forming or the Shivans from using THEIR konosi (I.E. Narlethotep's(SP) built-in Konosos)

[Colonol Dekker]

A Terran (i dismiss Ubuntu words for our glorious civilisation) campaign should start either-
 
A- as another LOYAL pilot at the Orestes / Renjian conflict aftermath, just as Bei jumps out, Third fleet backup arrives.
 
 
B- Steels takeover of fleet actions in Sol.

The plan now is for the Tev campaign to start a few weeks after that, actually.

I think would be more appropriate story wise to be like Command & Conquer 3 campaign type of story, which the 3 campaigns are actually the same story in the same time as each other, you are just looking at the same story from different sides which shows the overall picture when combined.

We are contemplating doing that but it'd make it harder to empathize with the characters.

[NGTM-1R]

You don't necessarily have to faithfully adapt the Ubuntu side of BP either. You could subscribe to the earlier C&C method and tell different stories for different sides.

Or alternatively, Starcraft style, in which one campaign take part chronologically after the last. That is another way, at least to avoid multiple endings.

This seems like the original plan.
The GTVA campaign would be from the start of the war to about...the capship mission?

[Jellyfish]

Or to Artemis Station

[The E]

Which is set at the same time as Artemis.

[General Battuta]

Which is set at the same time as Artemis.

Not quite. There's a slight but significant gap between the two.

[starlord]

let's remember to include the battle of neptune in it then...

[redsniper]

Nah guys, set it after Part 1. Make it a GTVA victory campaign Whether that jives with the actual Part 2... we'll see.
