Here is a storyline proposal

But a singleplayer camapign is already planned out by the devs, with storyline and everything. It just hasn't been made yet.

So what.... you saying he cant come up with suggestions or ideas? whats the problem here?

Aside from the fact that the original post is a complete storyline, not just ideas for the existing one? There's a bit of a difference between the two.

AN FO compaign is so far in the future that I don't think there's any problem with coming up with your own ideas .

That being said, Gamer's original suggestion sounds an awful lot like the Armada II stock campaign in my opinion, just with different factions

Romulans replacing Cardies and the Dominion replacing 8472, right?

Would be nicer if the A1 missions were converted to FO, perhaps with A2 missions as bonus

You can already play the A2 missions in FO, via the A2Classic mod import . Yes, I would like to see A1 missions too, but although there have been several plans of doing such a thing, nothing yet has truly materialized.

Isn't that being worked on? I remember a video about it a while back, but nothing shown past the first mission.

Wait, really?  Where can I find this import!?

Does that mean play the A2 campaign with full A2 units?  Or some strange hybrid using Fleet Ops ships?

The home of the import is on Moddb, here is the thread: Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Star Trek Armada II Import

It's a stock import: it's A2 in its entirety (minus a few minor details that will be fixed in the next FO patch)

That was a very well done proof of concept (Premonitions) made by Megadroid for the Mission Mod: TUN and others have said in the past they wanted to work on A1 missions, but have so far not done so.

No problem, I just didn't want anyone to think that they were coming up with the FO storyline and then getting disappointed later that it has already been planned out.

Not bad. I'd be happy with a retelling of Armada one - as I thought it was pretty good. Plus we have the voices.
Add a chapter for the dominion investigating the Borg incursion and pursueing them into federation space. Then undermine the borg campaign (destroy a key facility and/or plant a virus dirupting locutus's memory) and retreat killing everyone who saw them to avoid breaching the peace accord.
Adding and updating the missions to play to fleet ops strengths.

the armada story was pretty bad imo. the game was fun, but the story was full of clichés and seemed b movie.

they focussed on the already slightly ridiculous omega particle, and pushed it even further having it just be "found" laying around by the ferengi. toral was pretty bland as a villain. the borg cloning locutus also seemed pretty funky. it wasn an over the top story in every way. and its resolution felt silly, going to the DQ and pimp slapping the borg.

not to mention that the borg had contained omega so it wouldnt explode, but dont make any more of their own. the borg made omega before, just they couldnt contain it, and it sploded.

I think the omega particle is an egregious example of a macguffin if i ever saw one. they all fight over it, but it's so OP that nobody can ever actually have it. that's why i feel that the romulans in fleetops shouldn't have any involvement with omega, but that's a different matter altogether.

the armada games were never known for good storytelling sadly.
