Beauty - thx Skyflyer!

Thanks KF - I'll see if I can figure out which one it was.

And no, haven't found Quantum Factor yet (I've got a bias against fileplanet, and haven't found any other live links to it yet)

+1 karma Skyflyer!

Naturally, I just found my copy on CD...2 minutes after you posted. LOL

NW you have to try this mission out.

Hey NW,

Since i have a fileplanet subscription I already downloaded and emailed you the Quatum Factor mission a couple of days ago after KF asked for help in the matter. Check your inbox and look for an email marked RE: Quatum Factor mission, it is attached to the email.

+1 Karma for your help too GermzSlap.

I also e-mailed the Quantum Factor's author out of courtesy and to see if this may have been made for SFC:OP already...

EDIT: I got the following message upon attempting to e-mail Clewis: "This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed."



Qapla!

No problem, lets hope NW gets it updated for OP, i dont think its been done yet, i havent seen it posted anywhere.

I had a mission in a hex with a planet - well, all was fine except that I warped in RIGHT ON TOP OF THE THING.  Needless to say my ship went kaBOOM.  We made it to the life pods and I did have the satisfaction of spacing my helmsman.

I note that ship mission matching is a bit odd - I was flying a Mirak X cruiser around and was getting really wimpy opposition.

Finally - My map is weird - not the original one that came with OP, it looks like one that was with that last comapaign I mucked about in a bit.  Is there a way I can get back to the default OP map?

These missions are a kick Dave - I find myself glad I did not delete OP a while back when I was thinking about it...

Kzinbane,

You can reinstall SFC: OP and then go here and d/l the enhancement package: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163365240.0.html

or you can use these unmodified by me campaign maps I've attached.

These maps are from my personal SFC: OP META ASSETS folder.

1. Make a back up copy of your current maps in the META ASSETS folder

and

2. Then copy/paste these 5 SFC maps into your META ASSETS folder.

Again, these are unmodified stock/OP+ 4.0 campaign maps.

These work fine for me but I take no responsibility if your PC gets messed up using these maps.

Qapla!

KF

EDIT: Now that Kzinebane has the maps I have removed them...

[Kzinbane]

Thanks KF - I'll give the maps a try first.  I have installed, re-isntalled, re-re-installed (etc) OP and verious enhancements so many times it's not funny.  I don't quite understand why the last D2 server campaign didn't uninstall and give me back my original map(s).  Then again I just drive the computer, I don't know how it works - kinda like a car.

Thanks for Quantum Factor (everyone!) I finally tried it out last night, very cool 

I hadn't checked my hotmail in awhile, thanks germz!

Kzinbane - thx for the spawn-by-planet report, I'll play with the initial placements a bit more.

thanks for the feedback everyone, keep it coming!

I'm liking these missions a lot, I've actually done a sngle player campaing for the first time in years.

Keep up the good work Dave!

[NuclearWessels]

Thanks DH!  Holler if you find any mission results anomalies ... I'm still running across little oddities.

Just updated the pack to include a chance that someone will try and doublecross you when making contraband deals (they try to get away with the money and the goods - you'll have to hunt them down after the deal).

NW what about a generic Quantum Factor style mission???

D/l updates now.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh yeah!  Happy Turkey Day to all the loonies south of the border! (Yaya, it's a day early, but I'll probably forget tomorrow )

I really liked Quantum Factor - actually, I'd like to include a few more of the monster scenarios where the monster has some effect other than just weaponry (maybe one that kills/incapacitates crew units, one that drains power, one that impairs top-speed, one that ...?)

I've never seen a monster use a tractor beam.  I like the idea of planet crusher with a powerful tractor.

I'm all for that! Monster missions are cool but I really want to try the Quantum Factor as a Skirmish or universal campaign mission as close to the SFC1 version as possible. Please

How about one that you can only kill with photons? and phasers repair it or something? dunno

I'd love to do something like that, but with the api we can't tell what kind of weapon caused the damage.

oh bummer.

[FPF-DieHard]

Dave, does the amount of ships in your fleet affect AI draw at all?   I appear to be getting 4 opponents in the Base defense mission whether I have 1 ship or 3.

I LIKE this BTW if ti is intentional.
