Mog got it right first! You win a NEW...oh wait, sorry no budget  

Dave, how's about taking a crack at another fine story from the logs, Refiner's Fire and...you might get Scippy with that one, it was a classic Romulan/Gorn sssssssssssstory (had to capture the flavor) plus then there's the Juggernaut one where a Feddie a pirate and a Tholian walk into a bar...no, no, no...er take on a seemingly unstoppable ship.

Btw, tried out the missions... LOVED EM! You da man!

It was a Klingon not a pirate.

[Mog]

Juggernaut had a Fed (Kosnett ?), Klingon, Thoilan and a pirate called Greymane ( ? ) in it.

Refiners Fire had a Gorn, Fed v Rom & Klingon, with the "decoy F-DD".

There is such a wealth of possible scenarios in the CL books, but I think the majority of them would be better for skirmish/multipay rather than D2 missions.

OK, had to go dig it out ... that was one of the best stories in Captain's Log (IMO at least)

The O.P.C. Hammerfield was Deth's ship, and yes, Neil Ricca's ship was the Heavensent.
Horatio Jone's Exeter was in that one, along with Lestha on the Doomslayer.

Oh, and Crim - yes, one of these days

Captain's Log#2 was a good one.  A favorite of mine is the running battle campaign between the Klingons and Hydrans in Captain's Log#4.  Of course, there's always the ISC Strike Cruiser CSS Celestra and Rom Sparrowhawk in CL#16 or 17??.  I could see converting this battle into a D2 special mission.

 BTW,  Frogs won.

I just tried the OP link and it goes to a null page.

Juggernaut had a Fed, Tholian, pirate and a Klink. That was a wicked beast with the rotating shield.

Personally, the best SFB campaign I ever played was Operation Unity. If Andros ever become workable in OP, that would be one hellacious campaign.

There's a difference?

Oh wait, you're right.  There is a difference.  Whenever the pirates want to appear "swashbuckling", they do bathe.


My favorite scenario to play from a Captain's Log was from #8, I believe.  "Ceasefire Collapse".  This was at the end of Day of the Eagle, when a sizeable faction of the Federation believed their war was lost and arranged to sue for a seperate peace with the Romulans.  The scenario starts with a R-KE and a F-CC sitting nose-to-nose, diplomats on the planet below, and their supporting fleets behind them.  Then something goes horribly wrong......  (I'm sure it was Fluf's fault)

The Juggernaught  mission is available for EAW with the Juggernaught model at Fleetdock13.

I also recall "Ceasefire Collapse" and a handful of other SFB missions being made for SFC1. Not sure where they are today, maybe at the old Klingon Intelligence Breifing site. There are a great many SFC1 missions I want to see brougt into OP. Repair Rondevous, and The Quantum Factor (custom made monster mission) are just two of the SFC1 ones I want to try in OP.

Played a couple of these in OP(all I've seen so far) in single player and here are the results.

One called Rocky Horror.  It was in a thick asteroid field, I had 2 or 3 quasi allies(I could target them but they were'nt shooting me) against 1 plasma rock monster.  Dispatched it and it ended.

next one was one called Pound of cure I think.  said something about not being surprised about the condition of my ship.  faced 3 enemies that were fighting each other as well as me.  Blew up one of them and went toward another and I crashed to desktop.  My ship was fully intact by the way with no damage at the start.

thx Mace,

in all the "Masters" missions the ships from allied races are still technically your allies, but you can target them and they'll turn on you if you damage them (any AI will turn on each other if they happen to damage each other accidentally, e.g. with t-bombs or esgs)

I haven't seen a CTD yet, but I've been doing most of the testing on the EAW side.  If your ship was undamaged at the start of the mission then something funky is definitely going on.

EDIT: Was it using the stock shiplist, OP+ v2.0,  OP+ v2.1, or OP+ v2.1b?  (just in case it's related to a shiplist issue)
