Terran Invasion, there's so many Universe's and they have tried in multiple novels/games to invade the Federation (for varying reasons).

Hey TUN, its VERY doable... Theres a REALLY nice, Klingon Academy 2 Mod for STA2, that has a complete Singleplayer campaign... Multiple factions campaigns, etc. Voice overs. Unique triggers and missions reqs. It's very well done too. I just loathe the actual voice actors voice heh.

Having played this mod for half of the morning, it seems to me that the whole campaign is just the stock A2 camapign with different ships. Also seems a bit silly that the Enterprise has self-destruct when you lose the game if it dies

i really like your ideas sheva, especially the noxter^^
it would be really interesting for the voices if they would think this way, a bit like the orz in star control 2(ur-quam masters), so we would get both funny and creepy conversations^^

wow, that looks cool.  Not nearly as good as FO, but it definitely looks cool.

Aye, Unleash Mayhem is correct. The campaign in that mod is simply the exact same one from stock A2 with the voiceovers replaced with new voice files, and the ships replaced with new models. It's a clever little trick, but ultimately it was not done using custom scripts. This still means that there's no official way I know of to create a total and completely scripted mission from scratch. I still have confidence the FO team will find away once they get to presenting their storyline though.

What about these?  I don't suppose these are written?

I'm sure the Fleet Ops folks have some ideas, but I think it'd be cool to have:

1. Dominion fights Ciadan after several Gamma Quadrant worlds are (accidentally) depopulated by Ciadan explorers, coming into conflict with Romulans and eventually the Federation after launching a quick counterstrike via the Bajoran wormhole and trespassing in Federation space
2. Iconians take revenge on Borg, allying with Dominion perimeter forces after capturing Borg plans to invade the Gamma Quadrant and alerting the Dominion to the impending attack
3. Federation leading attack on Dominion shipyards in the Idran system in the Gamma Quadrant encounters three-way battle between Iconians, Borg, and Noxter Swarm, destroys Borg Unimatrix in the Gamma Quadrant, calls in Klingon allies and joins with Dominion, Ciadan, and Romulans to stop the Noxter Swarm after they nearly wipe out the Iconians

Something like that.

I think it would be cool to see campaign "packs" where you downloaded an addon, and you got an option in the single player menu to play the campaign you just downloaded... that way the creator could do whatever he wanted with the campaign... sort of like adding a map.
