More missions
« on: June 01, 2021, 01:16:09 PM »

Can we get more missions in the game? Is that planned? Or maybe there are mods that do that? I really like that aspect of the game and kind of like it more than the campaign itself, because I'm not huge on open/sandbox games and I really like the limitations of the missions.

There's been a few that I struggled a lot and they seemed just impossible (Forlorn Hope is one of them), but since they were there, I knew they are in fact  not impossible, which encouraged me to try again and again, until I finally cracked them. The story provided is also nice bonus, though I would even more like some kind of an outro story after winning the mission.

Also by the way I suspect they need some rebalancing. Sinking the Bismar is trivially easy now, and I remember I struggled with it several years ago (before the campaign was introduced). Didn't it have wolf frigate then? I wonder if this part of the game is going to get any love, or it's basically forgotten with full focus on the campaign?

I know that a lot of faction mods add missions for their own ships, so those might be fun to check out. There used to be a mission pack or two, but I think the people that made them left and they haven't been maintained.

If you want to get into modding yourself, missions are a pretty good way. IIRC they don't require any compiling, so you could make some of your own with a basic text editor.

Modern Carriers now features one mission to demonstrate air superiority, so do check out!

I do generally prefer the mods that come with a mission or two so I can get a fast preview of such mod’s content before committing an entire campaign into it.

Since all my mods have poor reputation, I deem my efforts unworthy thus no more updates will be made.

Thaago's right. Missions can be made fairly easily. And with the list of commands given to moders, you could make whole campaigns. I'd consider doing it if I had the time.

Thanks for your answers. Personally I don't feel I know the game enough to be able to create interesting missions, but I would love to play some if others made them. I'll look into faction mods, to be honest I haven't yet tried any mods (the list is quite overwhelming and I don't really know where to start, but I'll try).
