War Stories?

I know I'm not a juggernaut on these boards or anything, but since it's essentially been established that the game will be good for those of us here, one thing is going to result:

Sweet stories.

I'm just thinking that maybe, if it seems like there's an interest, they could warrant their own forum.

Jusssssssssssst wondering.

LOL, i think we had this sort of thing for Starlancer when it came out. Didnt do very well.

So we'll prolly let the stories get posted on the General forum first then if it really seems like there are tons of stories being posted, we'll consider making a forum for stories.

But I feel that Freelancer is going to be bigger than star lancer?

Post Fri Feb 14, 2003 7:41 am

Yep, most definitely, but we still gotta see how the stories thing do.

Seems like Freelancer will provide a lot more story fodder to.

"It was a routine patrol mission through Zone 21 when suddenly..."

Wait... is this the thing where one person starts a sentence, then another person continues it? That'd be neat!

(Originally I thought his idea was full stories, then Tachyon posted, and conf00sed be up, so I'll just follow his lead.)

"my ship felt a violent lurch from behind. ..."

Why make your own mistakes when someone else has already made them for you?

No, I was just spamming actually... But, couldn't hurt to do it anyway!

"My radar showed no objects within ten kilometers, yet I was losing power to my aft shields. I radioed my wingman and said..."

"Uhh oh"

Topic =
I blame you, Tach.

That reminds me, expect me to post many war stories.
I LOVE those! Especially with my Medieval *starts kissing CD uncontrollably*

Crap......now it's ruined.

*looks for someone to blame*

It's all YOUR fault! *points at Tachyon*

I do what I must, when I must...

well, i think that war stories could go under tactics and so forth, cause when you say "well the guy creepd up from behind, i couldn't turn because i was boxed in, so instead i acellerated to mach5 but on the brakes did a 180 verticle loop and fired everything i got at the other guy, then my team decided to break radio scilence against orders.... so this is how u do it....."
Phoenix out
PS: with stories likethis...forum is a 60% probability b4 the game comes out

Well, here is a little war story for you. I'm leaving some parts out so I don't ruin the story. But i'm flying to a waypoint and bam, a whole fleet of rhienland ships is infront of me. Battleship, 2 Cruisers, 2 gun boats and a bunch of fighters. Here I am in my ugly Briton heavy fighter, with no thruster btw which got blown off a few jump points ago, and I couldn't land on any bases to get another thanks to the stupid mission, anyways, without thrusters i have no afterburners, which mean i'm about to get my ass handed to me. So i engage cruise engines and fly to the furthest cruiser. Cut engines right on top of it, unload some missiles and torpedos, engage cruise engines so shields can regen, then repeat. After about 10 minutes all the heavy ships were destroyed and the other NPC fighters on my side took out reinland fighters. I'm broke, low on missiles, have no thruster, but still alive .

Heh, cool stuff, Exodus. I haven't had that kind of experience in a videogame for a long time.

If I get enough free time, I'll try to write (new!) stories with stuff that goes on in atmosphere, i.e. planets and space stations.

And then you have to fight some more guys, ya Ex, SP is really really hard, grrrr. I did that, then kept dieing in the next part, hehe. Evil evil battleships

And what've people been saying about Rhienland having no military
