(WIP) BP: The Balance of Power
(If this Announcement belongs to the BP-board, please move it.)



In an alternate Blue Planet-continuity, the War in Heaven never occured. The UEF was aware of the threat the GTVA poses and prepared for a daring strike.
Soon after the reunion between Sol and the rest of the Galaxy, the Federation striked back and pushed the pitiful rest of the Expeditionary Force back through the node. While the GTVA gathered for a new attack, the UEF invaded Delta-Serpentis and suceeded in conquering the system. Even more worse, a powerful and charismatic politician convinced the entire Ross-128 system (and even the local military) to join the UEF-war effort. But that was not a very surprising message. Most of the Lost Generation wants to return to their womb now that the Delta-Serpentis-Sol jump node is functionable. While the GTVA has the superior firepower and many brave terrans who stand to the alliance, they are facing an impossible situation. Another attack against the UEF would cause even more terrible revolts and the economy must now prepare for a two-front war.

During these dire days, the GTVA must face another conflict, which already lasts nearly a decade. The war against the Greystoke-Syndicate (former known as Pirate Confederacy), a powerful network of black markets, corruption, smuggle, piracy, mercenaries and other scum. Even anti-vasudan terrorists and separatists have gathered around the Syndicate. Now that the GTVA is weakened, the Syndicate can proceed with it's plans to gather even more power....
And you, pilot, are in the middle of this conflict while being observed by the powers that rescued you in the last moment.
Watch your six.


Features:
-a lot of "new" ships, most of them modeldumps.(including the Heavy AWACS, GVD Pharaoh, the ships from Teerals' Workshop, ships from the ED-asset-pack (nebulae are used too))
-some new planets
-new music
-alternate storyline
-10+ missions
-new intel to explain the backgroundstory
-and moar

Screenshots:



(Don't expect a zod-invasion on Mars)






What's already done:
-an intro cutscene!
-7 missions (including one mission with in-mission-jump WOHO!)
-all assets I need are implemented
-VP'ed

What I need from YOU:
-Betatesters (not yet)
-Spellcheckers (not yet)
-maybe kitten-pictures
-a name for a new vishnan ship (it's big, me says)


Unfortunately, the work on "The Glorious Revolution" is freezed for now due to some problems I must solve. It's not dead. After I finished this, I will continue working on it because I love the Zy and their fighters :D

A month ago. And I don't want to release a campaign that isn't well fleshed out.

Re: (WIP) BP: The Balance of Power
Just my guess but I wouldn't expect it to be more heavily armed than the Hatshesput since the design seems to emphasize rapid deployment and / or a larger fighter-carrying capacity.
This mod looks like it'll be fun. :D

I'm not BP fanatic, but I must admit it looks pretty good. Something like more rational version od the UEF-GTVA war. And I'm glad to see stuff from my workshop in some mod :).

Oh I'm just kidding. It's heretical towards BP universe and that's great. Looking forward to it!

Re: (WIP) BP: The Balance of Power
Wait! 4 vishan beam cannons deep in the nebula... Is this Vishnan Odigitria? Why shy destroyed this pretty Sagittarius? -___-
BTW. I think it should be named Guardian or something like that.

Damn you're good! But that's right, the Odigitria (my favourite ancient destroyer) will be featured as a new vishnan ship.
Guardian sounds good.

Oh and this is just a random pic I did. The Sagittarius will be used as a Carrier of the Greystoke-Syndicate. For now, there is only one mission where the "Stokey's" (which is the fantastic slur for the Greystoke-Syndicate, like the "Feds" and the "Tevs") are confronted, or rather said, being attacked by suddenly appearing vishnans.

Looks interesting indeed. I wonder what the purpose of the Vishnans will be...

Seriously, though, this looks interesting. I look forward to seeing where it goes.

I don't really expect Orestes control to say something like "I'm too tired for this bull****", to be honest...
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

It was Morian who said that. According from what happened to him (and according to his feelings shortly after the events) I decided to give him this phrase for now. Fortunately, the campaign is still WIP and I can change it.

Might as well make myself useful - I can check the dialogue for spelling/grammar/whatever errors might have slipped in.

Ah good. As soon as I'm finished with it, I will send you a message and you can check the grammar and so on.
