So, now that ShockEd works great again with the updates etc, I've decided to get back to making an FM. Still kind of getting used to the editor again....but I have a lot of resources (sounds, voice actors, etc) from a studio I worked with, so I can make a full on FM.
No release date, but I'll provide a back story...
I added a spoiler tag because this takes place immediately after the events on the Von Braun, and the back story may ruin the game for somebody who hasn't played It yet....but come on o_O who really hasn't played this game?
Late 2114 - Goggles is preparing the Von Braun to return to earth. He has relayed information to Earth that the Von Braun has a lot of bio-hazardous material on board. TriOp has redirected the Von Braun to the old TriOptimum biological research facility on Titan. TriOp sends out a team of scientists to Titan to gather the chemical simply known as XCT-3302 produced there after the Citadel incident. The chemical was developed as a weapon to break down and destroy the mutation that SHODAN created on Citadel, but after the chemical was produced, the facility was closed by UNN officials who revoked TriOptimums permission to be on the Saturn moon fearing another Citadel incident.
You play a UNN solder sent with the scientists to provide security and to make sure nothing is removed from the facility or added to it upon arrival of the Von Braun. You are part of a team of 10 soldiers and 8 scientists tasked with firing up the facility and pumping the chemical into the Von Braun's air purifier system to quickly kill the mutation on board.
I'm going to work on this in my spare time, and that isn't very much... if anybody else with experience in ShockEd would like to jump on board, you're more than welcome to. I'll provide as much information as I can. I'm mostly looking for one more person to do the architecture design. I can fill in plot elements and design the areas that need to be specially designed for plot reasons, but it would be nice to have a second set of eyes on things to add detail here and there.
*shrugs* I'll probably make this my first and final released FM for System Shock 2 as I really don't have much time to dedicate to it, but would still like the opportunity to share this all with you :) since this community has helped me out tons.

The Von Braun is almost ready to return to our galaxy.
except it never really left it - you are aware that our galaxy is slightly wider that 30 light years, I hope? because when we start to talk about galaxies, 30 light years is like reaching for the remote from your couch.

Ah yeah, I was running on no sleep -_- I forgot it was only 30 light years away. I thought it had gone further. Time to eeeedddiiiiiiiiitttttttt.
Thank you :)
For anybody wondering...the Von Braun was DERP 67,000,000,000,000 Miles from Earth.

It's nice to know that there is someone who is working on a FM for SS2. I really would love to play a new mission. Good luck :thumb:

Thought I'd poke an update out there, still working on this. Just getting the hang of everything again (Derp, ambient sounds). I'll have a few areas at screenshot state soon so I can give an example of what is going on :)

Pretty damn sure I have a copy of that first FM you were working on, on a hard drive backup dvd somewhere. Positive side to being a digital hoarder :p. Though may require a fair bit of searching.

I thought it was 67 trillion? The intro cinematic and one of Watts' logs says so. Also, they're in the Tau Ceti system which is just under 12 light-years from our solar system.
