Capt Jeff paced accross the bridge of the USS Crasher. He was tense. "I knew these terrible days would not be far off" he said to himself.

Not even a year had gone by since the end of Hostilities. The "Storm season" as many called it had been brutal in the amount of lives lost, but most empires gained little, if anything from it. And now it seemed to be starting again already.

Borders are being closed. Starbases are being fortified. Fleets are being put in positions that only war would mean.

"Tactical, report". "All weapons systems are functional, shields and fighters at the ready. The 1AF and FPF fleets are arriving at designated coordinates". "Good" Jeff responded. "Signal command that task force beta in in position".

The time for war is soon.................................

Watch for futher updates, as this campaign comes to life.

My vote would Fed, Klink, Vs the rest. Why you ask? I will tell you.

The Romulans seek an advantage there Empire is slowly ebbing away. Theie alliance with the Klingons has cost them more in resources then there gains are. Their agents in the Minor races report that there is a under current of feelings of represion, the Empires of the Gorn, Mirak, and Hydran feel that the Federation is sweeping away there Heratige. That the the Federation is slowly eroding away there pride. The empires of the Lyrans, ISC, as well as the Romulans are growing impatient under the Klingon Leader ship. Much of the resourse of this Empires are being diverted to more and more Klingon Milatary Programs. The Romulans see an oppurtinity to gain Ground on the Klingon and Federation Empires by using the Minor races growing undercurrent of discoutntent with there major Allies to catapult the Romulans into the solatary power crushing the klingon and federation empires with a suprise attack from there once respected allies. Knowing the bitter hatred exsiting between the Klingon and Federation Empires, the Romulans feel that there would an inabilty for those two long term Empires to oppose this New Movement for Power and will crumble and the Romulans could Expend leaving the left overs for the Minor Races to squable over. Yes The Romulan Emppire would truely become mighty once more....

The time this matchup was tried in the past proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the Klingon/Fed team needs at least one more race. When this was done before, The Blue Plague was in full effect and the K/F team got whacked. Granted..the Early Era start didn't help much. Now, while the Feds can still field more players at any given time than any other single race, they cannot be counted on to field what they used to. I don't think the Klingon Empire is quite as sizeable as it once was, either.

Nope...while i'm not adverse to alignment with the Freds, there's no way The Feds and Klingons can handle the combined forces of the rest of the community. Now..if we want to make it a defensive scenario for these two races, it's possible it could work. I just wouldn't expect much in the way of offense. Perhaps SG3 will give us an idea of what sort of player base is left, though the Tholians are likely to skew things a bit.

Very true, though rember the Campaign when it was the ISC and Klinks? They were allowed to get on the server to set up/ stage for attacks. I think we could do this and make it fun. Just think if we had High Dvs in the Fed/Klink space and low Dvs in the rest. Yes it might turn defensive...but we could halfway through the game switch a race over to Fed/Klink, and to make it even more challenging fun is randomly pick the Empire that returns to the fold.

A small fun sever with this Idea might be fun to try, sorta test the waters, Im not adverse to playing a Defensive battle and you now that the PvP would be fierce with only two Races allied together, hehe

The only real problems would arise when you Feds kept "Accidentally" running into Klingon T-Bomb Showers ;-)

I don't even want to think about that campaign. Never was a larger instance of highway robbery perpetrated on one team in the history of this game. No..it's best not to harken back to that particular instance.

Hondo_8 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2003, 11:52:44 pm »

I was thinking more along the lines of how that campaign was out lined and set up, It was rather ingenoiuse. I think there was alot of good things displayed in layout and the Idea of the whole thing was great. Just shooting Ideas off anyway. I liked the large maps, but with the current mission set being alot more harder including assualts a map that size would take forever. I guess what Im saying is that we can always throw in some "origianl missions" to stimulate Movements, and "Evil" missions to bog down drives. If the Fed/Klink missions were easer then those of the enemies I think that would counter the numbers. Map size seems to be getting smaller promoting quicker PvP, and also stimulates more Cruiser battles. But since we have Dread rules a larger map could be used to incourage longer drives, yes the pvp is not there, but you reopen more stratigic options for approaching your enemy and also when the enemy is met there will be some fearce fighting.

Lets see....

Campaign could go EAW or Op at this time as I have server kits for both with the settings just the way I like them....

SQL would be a plus, but I suppose it's not needed for this type of campaign.

As for sides....remember this is a continiuation of CW6, so the sides would be pretty much the same with maybe 2 doing a flip flop due to differences since the last war....Map would look familiar as well...
