Well you can get started now thinking about what you want to with a fairly legit campaign. Then just start feeding it in when this arrives!

Like you will be able to tell your own stories and have bar conversations be whatever you want amongst the current characters in your campeign. I'm waiting on custom characters for the moment because that's a bit of a can of worms due to how much it ripples through all other aspects of the game. But I'm trying to prepare the foundations for custom pilots. You will even be able to control expressions in your dialog by drag and dropping it into the lines timeline.

At the moment I'm working on Scimitar cockpit right now, which will then mean I can properly test through the Scimitar missions, which would mean I'm nearly to a point to test out of the 40 possible mission.

5 consecutive missions on the winning track.
up to 18 possible losing win mixes.

So do you plan to rewrite or augment the WC1 lore?

Well really that's why i'd like custom characters so that you could make new stories either with your own cast or just a few center piece characters from the original. But that's a lot so i'm not sure yet. Ultimately I think it'd be pretty cool if someone wants to make completely lore friendly campaigns and Loaf or someone who knows WC better than anyone could actually approve it or not as be certified lore friendly. But, he might not want to have to do that so I'm not sure lol. Basically since it's the tiger, it would need to be a campaign in a new sector. Before WC2 but after the end of WC1. I mean it's just interesting to think about the possibilities really!

Maybe something between WC1 and SM1? Or including some of the losing systems in the winning path?
 
I'm HOT on the trail of getting custom characters into the custom campaign system. This will open TONS of possibilities without stepping on canon characters toes. This is just randomly cycling through expressions. Meet Blazer :)

Hey Zachery since you seem to be interested in making a campaign would you be willing to test the campaign tool to help me make it easier to use? I'm trying really hard to make it as easy as possible so that you can focus on essentially story telling instead of the technical creation (though you can do that all you want as well.)
 
oh. My. GOD YES! I grew up with Wing Commander + SM1 (well, on the SNES). and i did dream of making my own campaign one day. so i would LOVE to test the campaign tool.

Cool! Is he though a Major or a Lieutenant Colonel? He seems to have both insignia. Yes, I am the soul of the party ..

Also these days I am working with @Direwolf79 on a Wing Commander fanfic. If you are interested, we can exchange ideas and include some custom campaigns in our lore.

My campaign is more of a multi-crossover if anything. Crossing Wing Commander with Mario (I grew up with Nintendo Consoles), Sonic The Hedgehog (Starting with the Mega Collection on Gamecube) and TMNT (May not have watched a lot of it, but i'm a HUGE FAN of them and their games)

I'm not even sure how that would work lol, are you saying the story has inspirations from those other universes?

I am painting and cutting pieces together in photoshop for this test, So I guess I need to decide what he will be. Even adding a batch of custom characters doesn't quite fix everything because then if multiple campaigns use the same characters the stories will be different. but I'm not sure how else to solve that issue. I guess each character could have a preset backstory and rank, and then I just create like 6-8 of them.
