If a pre-Great war campaign would interest more people, I would be willing to do it (With some modeling of course). Just keep in mind, the farther back we go, the more new ships we need. if we do a pre Great War campaign, we might need a new primary, replace the ML-16. Maybe a Vulcan?

We could have no primary slots, just secondaries. The Vulcan, and maybe a few missiles, that would be cool. once that Angel is on my drive, I'll start work. Anybody want to help? I don't need mission desingers yet, if you really need a mission job, go talk to Shadow Wolf IH about the Combat federation, its going really well.

Anybody got some more ideas that we need? We could ask the source code guys to let us have missile under the wings. This would be good for Robotech, and Babylon five also.

I will probably make a Vulcan that is primary, that way you can't put a Vulcan in the missile bank, it would look stupid.

I would like to see that campaign.  I'll also help you were I can.  But ITHOV comes first.  And if you want to get a hosted site for this, do it quick.  :yes:

Several people have named their models using the names I supplied such as Woomeister (GTB Notus) and Venom (Ennead - I think I named that).


I made the Boanerges concept model, actually.  It's (very dark and blurry) picci is on the Reciprocity site.  Posted images ages ago, although the maps are a bit crap compared to the one I just finsihed. (of course, that took the best part of 2 weeks to draw......)

Any part time help would be appreciated. I think this could be a secondary project, anything that's in progress will come first.

I could really use some people to make the GTB Apolloyon, and GTB Andromeda. Some people to make other miscellaneous things as they feel fit would be cool.

maybe some alphas, and betas were left over, you could use those...

 Some one made an awesome render of a Prototype Apollo ship, i recommend using that as a early GW fighter, as for old primaries, wouldnt it be safe to assume there were 15 lasers created before the ML 16?

I always thought the ML-16 was a take-off of the M-16. It stood for Machine Laser-16. 16 might have been the caliber, but I'm not sure. I already have the ML-Pulse Laser. It was the first. That is the main weapon, I have the Vulcan, a capship version, and artillary also. lasers were not common.

We should quickly wip up a site, and get hosted with a forum.  That should help move that along.  I think that we can do this quite well.

Right. Who wants in? Everybody and anybody who can MOD, write missions, or just has good ideas can join. I need someone to design the website, as I'm no good at web design, but is it possible to get a forum without a site?

I'm definately in.  I can wip up a basic site, as long as someone else can take over.  They may host us aslong as we get the new site up quickly.  Anyone else?

The site is up at http://tvwarproject.dreamstation.com I'll go get hosting. It is rather empty, but we've been operating for an hour, so don't whine.

I'll of course take over, but thanx for the site Thor.

So far we've got Me, and Thor. Any other takers. I already have a ai table ready, as well as some ships and weapons.

ai includes terran fighter, vasudan fighters, stuff like that. the ai still isn't THAT great, but its better now. Same on all skill levels though.

The 16 in ML-16 I believe stands for the fact that the sixteenth prototype of the weapon was the one that worked the best, and so was the one that was ultimately sent out to the GTA. I'm not sure if this is canon or not, as I'm basing it off a half remembered, possibly fan written thing about there being 6 previous lab only versions of the Subach.

Wit reagrds to weapons, I don't think lasers would be all that uncommon. The TV War started in 2321, and while they obviously wouldn't have FS2 levelsof tech, that's still over three hundred years into the future, and with the rate of the advancement of weapons technology, I'd not be afraid to use lasers, even in the TV war.

Also, on the variety of ships, I definitely think this should be severely curtailed. Humans had been in subspace for a very short time when the TV war began, and prior to subspace it still would have taken several years for a ship to get even as far as Mars(assuming they haven't found some new means of propulsion that is, even so, it still would have been several months at the very least). Space travel just wasn't practical, and so there wouldn't be a lot of non government ships around. Just keep it simple, for the sake of logic if nothing else.

Good Points.

However, I would tend to think that the GTA had at least one more cap ship than the three we know about.  If we did, we have a very limeted number of Orions, the only ship with a hangar of anysorts.  that means there are limted fighters.  So it makes sense that there is some sort of ship that fits inbetween that acts as a carrier.  And Remember, that these are proposed ships.  We don't have to include them all.

Thanks for the imput

No worries. I've been holding out for a Pre Great War campaign for awhile now, really hoping someone would do one. Now that it's starting to look possible, I just want to see that it's done as well as it possily can be.
