Interactive Fleet Ops Multiplayer Campaign!

posted on March 2nd, 2010, 12:04 pm

I have an idea to plan some kind of a contest for FO. A dynamic multiplayer campaign for two teams.

The rules and a description are attached as pdf. Let me know what you think about the idea and what kinds of problems you expect.

Sounds kinda cool but it sounds like that all the missions would be played out and then a storyline would be created from the outcome of the missions. Really neat idea and i would love to hear someone elses opinion on it

Hmmmmmmmm i like it  .
There would need to be some modification to the game it self but yep great idea.
See what the dev's say

I think it's a lovely idea - it'll have to be fan based for now though as the Devs want to work on the campaign much later . I suggest if you are really serious about this, to draft your own campaign and we can have a forum wise event

I dig it. 

  I'd LOVE to start creating maps with a campaign in mind but as there are few to no NPC ships available it is a little difficult to add "flavor".  Also I am hoping that the Devs will create the ability for NPC stations to be set permanently on an NPC team but usable by any faction.

Well for the moment there needs to be no ingame support...just meet at tunngle and discuss the maps for the campaign (common well-balanced MP maps (2on2 or 3on3). Than start the first game, finish it, take screens of the stats in the end and calculate the campaign points. This should be sufficient for now.

It would be more like some kind of RPG for now...maybe we should collect maps first to get a pool of good (allow different strategies) and balanced maps. There can also be some special map features (Planets, Wormholes) that grant specific benefits during the campaign.

I will open a Thread for a collection of the best default and custom maps.
