VASSAGO'S DIRGE
A FreeSpace 2 Campaign

In development since: May 2009
Released: July 2010

Author: Axem
Email: narfing@gmail.com

Number of Missions: 9 (6 completely playable, 3 cutscene/playable missions)

Description
Shortly after the Sathanas is destroyed, the GTVA begins an operation to take down a Ravana-class destroyer, the SD Vassago and its fleet. Meanwhile the Vassago begins an operation of its own. But for what purpose? 


Notes
This campaign makes heavy use of not-very-loud music. I advise that before starting the campaign, you turn the Music volume to max and Effects to about half or 2/3s.

It has been my (and some of my Beta Testers) experience that turning on the "Disable Vertical Sync" command flag will cause problems with camera fade in and possibly some of the synchronized music events. Please have that command flag turned off.

If your game appears to have frozen after a fade to white, it hasn't (atleast I really really hope not). Just wait for the next level to load. :)
