For me, this campaign should never be related to Freespace universe. You could replace Freespace ships by Esarai's/Vengence/Steve-O models. I'm currently modify ships. The only thing that stuck me is POF CS 2. It crashes when I try to reduce the size of a ship. I have several ships I want to put in are 3 Km long or greater.

Is there any work left for this mod, because its a large file to download.

I finished the campaign a few days ago.  It may have been short but it certainly lived up to the hype of the trailer. 

The use of FreeSpace 2 ships actually didn't kill the immersion for me.  It was the choice of the author and I respect that.  The storyline and excellent voice acting certainly merit a playthrough.

Regarding the size of the campaign.  I actually ran a test using 7zip (ultra compression setting) and the campaign comes out to about 840 MB. I don't remember the exact size so take that number with a grain of salt.


@LoneKnight: Do you plan on releasing additional mini campaigns in this universe?

EDIT: I did come across one bug.  In the ship yard mission, after you perform your task and get past security the drone reattaches itself to you and drags you almost all the way back to the checkpoint before releasing you.  This doesn't break the mission but it is a tad annoying.

We'll see what happens with time. I'm in my last semester of college, and getting ready for finding a job as a Game Designer. Volition is actually on my list of potential companies to apply at Bearing how things work out, I'd like to continue releasing projects to cover the pilot making the first subspace jump, expansion into other systems and exploration, and probably ending it with the first encounter with the Vasudans many years later, as there are reputable campaigns following that conflict. I'd also like to one day replace the retail ships with unique ships for this series, but that's a pipe dream which would require a team of artists. I'm really glad that people enjoyed it.

Yeah that would be great if LoneKnight would use 7zip.

My IFF beacons not doing anything to the Constantine (I "only" hit their flak turret)

I've got the same problem.  I've tried the mission several times, but each run gives me the same error.  I'm currently running 3.6.14 RC4.  I haven't played around with other builds, but I am curious, is there a recommended build for this mod?

Turn off subsystem targeting before your attack (Alt S is the default). Be sure you aren't hitting a turret. That's what fixed it for me.

That worked for me as well, Thanks.

[LoneKnight]

Any idea what causes that / how I could fix it?

[swamper123]

I have a problem, the intro mission runs fine, but in the second one, it crash .

Sorry if it not attached I cant remember how to do it 

Not all subsystems in model "TCSF-Gallileo.pof" have a record in ships.tbl.
This can cause game to crash.

List of subsystems not found from table is in log file.

Do you have 1.1?

[swamper123]

Yes, the last version downloaded from freespacemods

[swamper123]

I also have a flickering black screen, I read that can be the new shaders, but I eliminated them, and moved my files into a fresh installation of FS2, any option for repairing this?

Edit: Fixed with the RC5 release

It's a bug from a fade-out SEXP while having VSync on (off? one of those).

Yes, it only happened with fade out's

[DOCTOR DOOM!!!]

Ive got lag on the first and second missions... Has something to do with those huge custom ships cause my framerate jumps back up when I'm not facing them...

[Jeff Vader]

Hardware?

[swamper123]

When I was able to run this mod, -I dont know why its crashes at second mission-, I also have that awfull lag.

[Nighteyes]

I usually don't write reviews for mods I play(maybe I should start?  ) but I felt like I should in this case.
the overall game was pretty good, I enjoyed the story, voice acting and music, I also really liked the news reports after each mission as well as the CBanims

on the bad side was the bugs:
massive framerate drops(first and last missions) for no real reason, apart from maybe mass weapon spam.
mission breaking bugs, M3 comes to mind, I died while boosting, boosting didn't start, and wasn't able to tag the station untill reading the "fix" for this on the boards.
the M3 bugs really killed my mood, and I almost stopped playing, you should fix them asap
another small remark I have is the missions wern't interactive enough IMO, most were there as an interactive movie rather than a typical FS mission, not a bad thing but something  to think about in future releases

[swamper123]

Fatal crash while trying to get in the second mission, attaching debug log
