feat(content): Tim the Stowaway - Human mission
Content ( Missions )
Project Overview
After the Skadenga Saga was merged Wizrad requested I work on creating missions for the rest of human space rather then returning right away to the Deep (I left a loose end there I will need to return to eventually - Hroar!). From that request I began work on Saga's Saga, which was in essence a robust mission pack in human space. I was informed that Saga's Saga would be not practical to be merged, and instead was encouraged to PR the individual missions from it. This is one of those missions sets.
My goal is to make good on Wizrad's request of adding more content to the rest of human space, while also developing stories, characters, and environments in said space that are only briefly addressed or touched on currently in game. I also like telling stories in time, as this gives players a reason to return to human space after their initial pass on it. I also think it's interesting to see characters and situations change or develop over time and demonstrate to the player that the relationships they create can at times have more lasting effects then one off missions.
I don't believe any of my PR's are objectionable, and am willing to alter them as needed by the developers. It is my intent to see all them enriching the core game.
Other Project Missions:
The Stowaway - Timmy!
This adds mission chain in the Dust Belt that deals with a stowaway you discover on your ship. Choosing to help him will create future opportunities for you to interact and do other missions for him.
This mission chain is heavily nested in time. So it's something that might draw you back to human space, or the dust belt, long after you initially do all the missions there.
It mainly focuses on Rand and Oblivion, but also has some interesting interactions on New Britain, Dancer, Greenrock and New Tibet.
I'd like to point out that Bene-Dictator has contributed heavily to this mission set, and in reality it's both our story now.
FYI for other reviewers: Dane and I are looking looking to change some of the Hero of Rand missions, so we may nuke some review comments in those. I'll post another comment when we've done the changes.
I've done the additions I wanted to write for the Rand convoy missions, those can be reviewed now.
