Good evening, all.
It'd figure that I'd be slogging through WCRPG's proofreading and come up with an idea for another miniature campaign. The thread kinda says it all - a campaign centered around the action over Vespus in the wake of the Battle of Earth, prior to the start of WC3, the action in which Concordia was lost.
My initial thought was to have the players serve as pilots aboard Concordia herself, but as I think more about it, I'm thinking perhaps having the players serving aboard a different carrier coming to reinforce Concordia's group (or perhaps resupplying Concordia, with both ships getting caught in the ambush). I'd have a tough time picking one, of course...certainly the fleet carriers would be out, so maybe an escort carrier, or a Yorktown.
I really just had the initial thought today, so I haven't had much time to develop it. Anyone who would like to put in their two cents on the idea is welcome to do so, of course. My greatest concern at this point is coming up with a rationale as to why Concordia was close enough to the planet to get knocked out of orbit in the first place. How isn't all that relevant; why is.
I'm also pondering the last image we see of Concordia, of her broken hull half submerged off the Mistral Coast. There must be one hell of a continental slope there. Or Concordia's forward sections were all crumple zone. Or only half the ship is there...I mean, she was close to a kilometer in length...
Anyway, I'll open this idea for discussion. Thoughts? Besides "get your butt back to proofreading already"?
