YES!
The plot is finished (or at least at its 99%)
I'm recruiting members of all kinds for this project:
- Grammar checkers.
- Story Writers.
- Web designers.
- Mission designers.
- Beta Testers.
- Modelers
- Skinners

I have some designs for a new way to "create" ships (i would be more like assemble than create):
See here: www.geocities.com/willy_principal/FS2-modules-color.jpg
and here: www.geocities.com/willy_principal/FS2-modules-wires.jpg

We'll need the Multi-Docking feature for the campaign.
Estimated number of missions: more than 15 (fifty)

Here is the plot:
2367, November 30th: The shivans destroyed the Capella Star and triggered a supernova which vaporized everything in the system.

2368, January 1st: A new year begins, the GTVA celebrates the 'victory' upon the NTF and the Shivans. However, both conflicts weakened the unity between the terrans and the vasudans, and the cooperation between the terran worlds. The vasudans blame the terrans for the Second Shivan Incursion and terrans envy the vasudan economic development.

2368, January-June: Many terran worlds rejected the arrival of capellan refugees. The capellans are now migrating to the vasudan systems.

2368, July-December: The GTVA gradually becomes powerless except in Beta Aquilae.

2369, January-June: The pacts and treaties that sustained the GTVA gradually dissolved. The Vasuda Imperium renames the Galactic Vasudan Fleet to Imperial Vasudan Armada; The vasudans start a massive project to improve the IVA's technology. The Galactic Terran Fleet assets defected to many factions or formed private mercenary squadrons.

2369, July-December: The different factions formed during the collapse of the GTVA began to struggle each other. Small skirmishes occur in all systems. An important migration of terrans to vasudan systems is occurring.

2370, January-June: The vasudan systems are being overwhelmed by the continuous influx of terran inmigrants. The Vasuda Imperium decided to expel the terrans which inmigrated in the last six months, and to give a three-year permission to stay to all the terrans that inmigrated in the last year. The Vasuda Imperium is offering a deal for the terran inmigrants, if they join the IVA they would have an unlimited permission to stay for him and his family (90% of the ones that accepted this offer are capellans).

2370, July-December: The terrans factions are forming alliances and fighting each other: Ribos-Ikeya vs Beta Cygni-Betelgeuse; Delta Serpentis vs Luyten Coallition; Polaris-Regulus-Sirius vs Epsilon Pegasi-Adhara-Procyon-Mirfak. Vega, Antares and Beta Aquilae are neutral. Vega is totally isolated from any major conflict. Antares sells goods and services to both sides of the Ribos-Beta Cygni War. Beta Aquilae has its own Terran-Vasudan government (The General Assembly) and Fleet Command (Security Council), sometimes they send peacekeeping forces into warzones and try to pacify the area.

2371, January-September: A relatively calm year. The Peacekeeping Expeditions sent by the Security Council is maintaining the warzones in peace (most of the time), and the General Assembly is making arrengments so the warring sides sign truces or peace treaties. Such a calm panoram convinced the Vasuda Imperium to cut the budget assigned to the IVA.

I'd love to help, but I don't think I'm very reliable. I failed to help nuclear1's GTI Rebellion project, due to some serious issues with retail Fs2, and since then, I've tried to avoid commiting to projects other than my own.

So what's with the capital W in the name, anyway? :p

I'd like to help, but I'm way too busy with things n' stuff as it is.

Any other skills??

Web design? Skinning? modeling? Story Writing?

Well, thing is, I'd love to help, but I'm involved in nearly four projects as it is.

If you need a spare story editor, I might be able to do that, but otherwise, I'm not much good.

Where do you find the time for (nearly) four projects? And still have time to help. :p

Like I said, minor help. I currently:


Lead GTI
Stories/Mission scripts for TAP
Same for Mercenaries
Scripts/FRED for Pathways


I'm not available for much, but I can help out in little tidbits.

Web design? Skinning? modeling? Story Writing?

All of the above, with the exception of modeling. Unfortunately, as I said before, I'm not confident in my ability to join existing projects. I'd prefer to just plug away on my own campaign.

If everybody plug away on their own campaigns...............we'll never finish something............

*chuckles*

Dude, if "everybody" keeps starting more and more projects....we'll never finish something...

We don't need more uber-ambitious-dozen-staff-member-requiring projects that'll stall, we need to focus on, and finish, our existing projects. Our FREDers are overstrung. :sigh:

Not that I'm putting down what you're trying to do, which I'm not, I'm just saying you probably won't find enough staff (with enough free time) to help you finish this. Here's some advice.

Skinning isn't too hard, even I can do it, and I suck at modeling. And you don't need seperate people to do skinning and modeling. If they can model, odds are they can skin. So just look for a modeler. Also, you can write your own story, and your other members can critique it. You don't need a specific staff-member for that.

Anyways, I'm sticking to my own campaign. It'll get done swiftly if I'm not sucked up into any other projects. :biggrin1:

Well...
really...the only thing I REALLY need is someone with modeling and skinning skills...i can take care of the rest...

If you are confident in completing this mod, you can start to FRED already.
Use existing models as 'placeholders' for the needed ships, and replace them later.

It will be a lot easier to find staff if you have something done for it already. :)

Your concept isn't bad, but try to organize your stuff and work step-by-step.

As soon as you have something completed your chance of geting a board and webspace is a lot better.

ATM I think a team with only two members doesn't need a board...

I recently downloaded Blender and Truespace...............but i have no idea how to use them...................

any Guide, manual or How To around here???


Mental Note: Damn, even Cobra knows how to model...

Do you have to use so many periods all the time?
Google some tuts, check Karajorma's FAQ and WeatherOp has recently written a TS tut (check his sig).

Try Wings3d. I think it's really easy to learn. It has a pretty good manual and some nice tuts.

Also it's OpenSouce so it's for free (even though you should donate a few bugs, as it is a very handy software).
