A short campaign which takes place during the second Great War. You have recently been transferred to the GTtca Reuil and must now join the 33rd blackbirds in defending a science group from attack. Should be an easy job, but you never know what happens.

Update
Stilljoe7 has helped proofread the entire campaign and 0rph3u5 has given me some very nice backgrounds for the later missions. This and a few minor things have been added in this update (uct_1_1).

Installation:
Create a mod folder in you freespace 2 directory and copy these files to it:
Mod.ini
uct_1_1.vp
uct.bmp

or extract this:uct_1_1.rar

Mirror at Freespacemods

Please note that the newest version has not been put on sectorgame yet.
Alternative mirror download: sectorgame

Tested using FSO 3.6.10 final. MediaVPs are needed.

Thanks goes to:
Spoon and Renegade for playtesting
PeterV for creating the Hestia carrier
Everyone who helped me with my FREDding and modding questions.
Singh for his background emporium
0rph3u5 for his help with backgrounds
Stilljoe7 for proofreading


Hope you enjoy the campaign.

For when you finish:

Spoiler:

Could you let me know which ending you got? I'm kinda curious

[MatthTheGeek]

Looks interesting. DLing now.

[General Battuta]

I've heard good things.

Wouldn't it have been easier to put the three files into a zip, rar or 7zip archive and upload that instead of uploading each file seperately?

And what does the "tca" in GTtca stand for? Tactical Carrier?

This campaign ought to be getting a bit more attention.
Where are the players?

[Black Wolf]

Highlighted. Hopefully that'll kick up interest a bit. Also grabbed myself a copy for my own perusal - looking forward to a bit of free time to have a play through.

[Renegade]

goooood Idea....
its really a very enjoyable campaign.

[Rodo]

Nice fredding skills ReenoiP,

Spoiler:

besides the fact that I completely loose the Reuil in the mission "Division" and I could progress in the campaign (check the campaign file)

and some weird story maters, it's a good and fun mini-campaign, hope to see some of these beauties in the future ^^

I'm looking forward to this also. There's a lot of new talent springing up out of the woodwork. Blaise, Ransom and Axem, your days are numbered

Played it.. liked it! I loved the (brief) visiting of undiscovered space, even if only setting one foot in there before running away again with the stories' vessel. Without spoiling too much, I slightly hoped we'd end up in more unexplored areas. And that means your mod worked, your storytelling captivated me enough for me to want to see more before getting back home to the area of starting level.

I did find a few spelling errors here and there. Perhaps an update with the help of a second person could solve that. I'd offer to find them all if I were a native speaker.

Since you wanted to know the following:

Spoiler:

My ending involved getting the Atlas, the Reuil AND the Gabriel home safely.

[Colonol Dekker]

Welcome back to HLP. Did you try clicking on your old profile name to get the old e-mail address or asking a Mod for some options re: login info?
 
 
On topic, spoiler tags please

[ReeNoiP]

Thanks for the praise everyone

Just tested out the continue-even-if-failed problem. It's in every mission  . I thought you automatically had to restart if you failed a primary objective. I will fix the campaign file and re-upload.

What do you mean? Just type the full link?

[Colonol Dekker]

Assuming a mis-quote.
 
I don't need the full link/path. Rather could some kind soul chuck it up on freespacemods and link it?
 
Opera mini hates mediafire

[ReeNoiP]

There. Campaign file fixed and .vp and .rar re-uploaded.

Hunter has put up a mirror on sectorgame, but it's still the old version. I will add the mirror link to the initial post once the updated file has been put up.

[Thaeris]

When is new content going to be allowed back on FS Mods? I really dislike having to use MediaFire or Rapidshare...

[Hunter]

Sectorgame is accepting all mod submissions here.

Finally got to start playing and the first two missions are very nicely done. The battlemusic in mission two was making me really nervous for some reason....
I think it would be better to refer to "the nebula" as "the nebula beyond the Knossos portal" or "the nebula beyond Gamma Draconis" at least once in the first command briefing though.

But due to the nature of the mod I was wondering about something. Would it be possible to have missiles, that you fired, no longer available for the following missions? Say you start the campaign with 500 Tornados, you use 50 of them up in missions one and thus have only 450 available for mission two ect. Maybe the carrier could produce a certain number of missiles per mission to make sure you have some available for later missions, allthough probably only enough for just a single fighter, unless you safed them up before.

I think something like that would add a bit of additional spice to such "far away from home" campaigns, if it was possible.

[The E]

It's very possible. FRED has all the options you need to implement it.
