Thinking of PERHAPS creating a new campaign
The_Small_Time_Modder:
and now the 3 missions following mission 9...
Mission 10: After the mysterious encounter near the white cruiser wreck in the wreckyard, the NDF is now on high alert, could this be another form of the mechanoids? could the jupiter incident be repeating itself all over again?
It has been three days since the dangerous encounter, and already the NDF scouts have found something.
It is a base, designed by unknown hands, built into several asteroids.
the covenant has been ordered to go to this area, sneak through any defenses, and investigate.
Mission 11: After successfully gaining data on the base, the NDF then swiftly attacked it, destroying it and anything else that got in the way. However the fleet that mounted the assault lost six of the nine vessels that were part of the siege.
with the mysterious threat aparrently removed, the NDF has found another gate to another system. The covenant fleet is ordered to act as the NDF advance fleet and get a small foothold on the other side of this gate established.
After a few hours of entering this new system, one thing is apparent, there are not just one or two stars in this system, there are five.
There is another thing apparent though, there is a small gorg raiding fleet barrelling towards the gate! However the fleet is too small to be an attempt to eradicate the fortress on the other side of the gate, why would they be attacking with such a small force? With a battleship, two cruisers, the covenant and the X-ship blocking their way to the gate, what chance do they have of even passing the covenant fleet?
Mission 12: The NDF is baffled. A pair of the mysterious ships, the exact same type encountered at Hel, gated into the scene, annihilated the gorg fleet, and gave the covenant fleet a run for their money. If reinforcements had not arrived in time, it is likely that the Covanent fleet may have been lost.
The most chilling news of all, however, is that the NDF has confirmed this is not the mechanoids doing. NDF intel does suggest, though, that these are machines, not biological creatures. The NDF has designated this new and twistedley powerful race the Xiion, after the newly discovered system's name, Xiios.
The NDF has ordered the Covenant fleet, along with the aid of two extra battleships, to investigate the inner Xiios system and find out as much as possible. What will the Covenant fleet discover?
The_Small_Time_Modder:
and ill give everyone a cliffhanger with mission 12...
Mission 12: NDF command has litterally wet itself...
The four smaller, white stars that orbit the Violet, super hot Xiios star are the work of the Xiion!
The vardrags are absolutely awe struck by the news, saying that technology is millenia ahead of their state of the art systems. Based on studies from the black meteor project, the program that oversaw the reverse engineering of a mechanoid, the mechanoids seemed incapable of such a task as creating a star... apparently from almost nothing.
The ability to destroy can be a great power... But the ability to create? It is only something the gods of ancient human lore were believed to be capable of. Now, before every living things eyes, the Xiion have created their own stars to their own benefit.
The reason the Xiion created these four extra stars is currently unknown. Could they be using light to power their vessels somehow? or do they use light to construct their infrastructure and warships?
Answers to those questions can wait, for a golden oppurtunity awaits the Covenant fleet. The chance to capture an intact, abandoned, Xiion warship.

Just wanted to lay out my plans for this race...
1: The Xiion have their own ships, three corvette classes, two destroyer classes, two cruiser classes, a battleship class (a modified version of Freespace's orion destroyer), and a carrier class.
2: completely unique weapons, shields, supports and engines for the race.
3: Xiion vessels have more armor and tougher shields than ships of other races. Many of their weapons have devastating potential.
and now into the vessels, heres what i think one of the Xiion Destroyer classes should look like.
these two images come from X3: Terran Conflict if you didnt know.
I own a copy of that game.... and i have yet to get as SINGLE one of the most badass fighters in the game, the xenon LX, its freaking AWESOME... theres a picture of it below the two pics i have for the destroyer model.
On a side note, the other ship is the Terran Vidar. Its like the Mustang Super-Snake of Corvettes in X3, and i am lucky to own one in that game ;)
The_Small_Time_Modder:
The only problem with creating all this... including the Xiion race and its ships, i cannot create the ships due to the fact i do not possess a modeller nor do i think i can get one without causing issues at home.
If anyone is willing to help out with that, let me know. I was thinking of making credits for this campaign, so if i can figure that out ill add in anyone who chips in on this bad boy, i was also going to put the entire nexus skirmisher community on the credits (once i figure out how to make them that is). But that is one of the final steps, im still near the beginning of my project.
To anyone considering assisting with modelling, i reccomend you read my previous posts in this subject.
ALSO NOTE: im NOT intending on keeping this sucker PRIVATE when i complete it!
The_Small_Time_Modder:
yesterday my internet was down for about three hours, so i took that time to create the new race for my future campaign, i am pleased to say i perfectly nailed it (in terms of how to correctly code it).
I also managed to sucsessfully create a test ship class for the race. now all i need are some ship models and weapons fire effects and ill be good to go with completing the Xiion race.
