I would like to announce...

That I have started work on my first campaign for Starfury. I call it "For The Empire", and, to the best of my knowledge, will be the first Starfury campaign where you play a nonhuman captain.

As this is my first mod, I'm keeping things simple. "For The Empire" will only feature stock ships, and is unlikely to have any new components (although certain currently-useless componets *cough*tachyonscanner*cough* will be removed from the store lists). However, the story and knowlege from FTE will lead into several other campaigns I'm in the first stages of designing.

Sounds exciting.

Which will be the main race, the Xiati?

I'd tell you, but I don't know how much everyone wants to know beforehand.

Also, keep in mind this is also a lead-in to other campaigns, although those will be effectivly stand-alone (i.e. you won't be continuing your FTE campaign in these later ones).

Also, although this won't be absolutely required, I wouldn't mind if someone would help me with some event portraits.

Using the physics/datafiles from P&N-ism would be great.
There is a ton of good stuff in there, and a new campaign would be awesome.

Funny you should say that, SJ, as I was just playing P&N Homefront. To be honest, I don't think P&N is really suitable for this campaign. However, my later mods will include my own balance changes, some of which may be inspired by P&N.

Also, it's both a little exciting and a little scary that I might become the most prolific Starfury modder ever.

I am making a Star Blazer mod, the story is "The Quest for Iscandar". I am trying to have it very close to the original story, well as the resourcess of the game and my habilities permit me. I will provably have the story divided in two parts. The first part is 80% completed. It will take me like one mont to complete. So far I have 3 earth ships, and 6 Gamilon (all I need for the first part).
I did not wanted to anounce it earlier because I did not know if I could do it, but now I am very confident.
I will write again when part one is finish!
