Any word on a campaign story?

I love the game and adds fleet ops has done! Great job. Would love for a story campaign. I would do myself but the coding seems really complex.

Or is there a mod to play the original Armada 2 WITH fleet ops upgrades in graphics and such?

Theres the armada classic mod. But the textures and gameplay are just as ugly as ever, even if it has some of the program improvements from FO.

Cant you just take the files from the armada 2 campaign and insert it into the fleet ops program?

No you can not. The campaign maps for A2 reference ships, stations, nebulae, planets, etc. that no longer exist in FO. Trying to play the stock campaign in FO without the Classic Mod will result in a CTD. You would have to copy every odf, sod, texture, and sprite entry over to FO, which would basically result in the Classic Mod.

There are currently no story campaigns for Fleet Ops that are based on Star Trek. There is a framework in place (Megadroids Mission Mod), and there is at least one story-based mod in progress (The Undying Nephalim's excellent-looking Sigma, which has a campaign planned but won't be available until some time past the release of Fleet Ops 4.0).

Edit: There may be a campaign based on Fleet Ops' alternate continuity at some point in the far future, but it is way, way, way down on the devs' priority list.

I would imagine any campaign is probably going to be pushed off until the new game engine gets implemented in the future

I'd consider putting the time in to learn the system if and when I come up with a worthwhile story to tell.

Well i have been a screenplay writer for ten years. Would love to write the campaign if someone programs it with me!

I am just not good at that side of it.

I am a new writer, but I defer to experience. It would still be cool to have contributed to some part of the star trek storyline, even if unofficially.

On the off chance that the devs decide to ask members for their assistance in creating a storyline, I would love to help. Whilst I'm not as experienced as some of our members, I have won a couple of competitions for original stories, and have been looking for something to inspire me for a while now

Playing the old STA2 with the graphics upgraded to FleetOps standard would rock!

I agree, although I think playing a revamped version of STA 1's story would be pretty awesome too!

Hey I am new here. I had a major hankering for A2, then while troubleshooting the install I found myself here and installed FO. I am trying to play the A2 mod in FO but can't figure out how. WOuld you have any tips? I downloaded the A@ classic mod butI do not have a mod folder to put it in and the current FO does not have a 'load mod' option in the gui. TIA
