Improved Single Player Campaign (Federation)

Description
The Improved Single Player Campaign Project - Federation
by the ImpSPCam Team

Well, here it is. The Federation portion of the Improved Single Player Campaign. All 10 StarFleet missions as redone by the ImpSPCam Team. This was developed and tested with Patch 1.1 applied along with a Single Player Officer limit of 750. Some members of the team also had the A2 Physics Project installed during testing, since all of this was supposed to be a part of that project. It is suggested, but not required, these conditions be in place for use of this mod. It may work with your personal install but it has not been tested that way.

ImpSPCam contains the following things. Improved AIPs based upon the ideas and concepts of Achilles and Freyr. Bigger maps using what the stock game contains to enhance the lighting and backgrounds. Clearer, more concise Objectives screens. Improved techtrees to give the AI, and the player, access to special weapons earlier and more often. No longer do the Borg fail to use their most efficient weapons systems. Consider yourself warned. A few small surprises are also included. No, we will not tell you what they are here. That would spoil the surprise, would it not? And those in the know already best not be spoiling things for the others, either. Go play the missions and find out.

ImpSPCam also includes a special set of AIPs done by that master of online play, Freyr. Most people are unaware (or have willfully chosen to ignore) that Freyr is a gamer first and modder second. He has attempted to get the AI to emulate his own style of play. He has been largely successful in this. These AIPs will be in a separate folder marked "Freyr's Extra Spicy AIPs". This Folder can be found in the Bonus Materials Section. Be warned, these have all the pity and weakness surgically removed. Team members have been known to run and hide whenever Freyr suggests we try them. The ImpSPCam Team accepts no responsibilty or liability for any permanent, irreversible brain damage caused by using Freyr's AIPs.

As to play balance, this is an issue we decided early on not to concern ourselves with. A desperate battle against impossible odds with little hope of survival, let alone victory, is something all true warriors enjoy. These AIs will come for you very hard from the moment you tap the Spacebar.
Freyr's AIs are even more elegantly lethal. Live free, die well, and may the bards sing of your selfless sacrifice for a thousand generations.
For those of you who are not up to the challenge, the file contains backups for all ten Federation Missions. So you can restore your game to the safer, easier Stock Missions. The backups are also included to allow you to restore your A2 install, in case something goes wrong.

The ImpSPCam Team are:

Ameba, Chiletrek, darylukeh, delta-dids, Exodus_499, Freyr, StarFox1701, The Joelteon 7, the StarFleet Kid, thunderfoot006(Team Leader)

The Team did all the hard work. The Team came up with all the good ideas. The Team members deserve all the recognition. Me? I was the Team Go-Fer. Whenever the real modders on the Team needed someone to do simple stuff, that was my job. Otherwise, I just sat there being quiet.

The Team would like to extend a very large thank you to Achilles here. His gracious permission to examine and use his ideas and concepts gave this project the perfect start.

The ImpSPCam Team will also re do the Klingon and Borg Campaigns as well. Release date on these two is TBA.

Any problems or concerns will be answered in the Forum thread for this mod or the Comments Section below. The Team respectfully asks that the Forum thread be the place to address problems, due to the limited functionality of the Comments section of the Downloads page. We will still answer questions there, however.
