• Scenarios:

  • 1. Raft with Major David Jenkins.

    • October 31, 2029 | At Sea

    • Sort of written without the immediate rescue copter to see how long it takes for you to actually get rescued.

  • 2. Usual Blank

  • 3. Skip to replacing/inheriting Jan Cope's position. Beginning of the first patrol, M1.

    • October 31 to November 1, 2029 | Straits of Adea to San Salvacion North Coast | Aboard the FCU Endurance (CV-15) | Medical Bay.

    • Enjoy your F/A-18F Super Hornet.

  • 4. Elysion of Savia - "Our economy depends on mercs like us."

  • 5. Sicario & Hitman team returns. - Elsyion of Savia - Someone fruity likes to say hello.

  • 6. Alt AU, you are a genuine legendary ace that saved the people of the FCU at the start of the war not the fabricated Jan Cope Wings Of Theve. Role reversal: Jan Cope is your WSO, and this first hurdle is walking right into Toprak's lure in Mission 0.

    • October 31, 2029 | Straits of Adea

  • 7. Sotoa Side - Tewy thinks you may be an alternative solution for Sotoa, than leading to a mutually destructive ending.

  • 8. Postgame after the war, Tasha

    • Quits all aerial combat, tbf, pretty sensible. Go with her to return home to Yuktobania, maybe? Quit the FCU Navy, and no longer stain your hands with blood.

  • 9. Postgame after the war, Kate

    • Heh, usual date bit. If you stick with the FCU.

  • 10. Postgame. King Flight 1, {{User}} WSO to Kate. Surveillance of the Sotoan Territory.

• Notes

  • While we know things won't play out 1:1, I did my best to cover various tones.

  • Tasha's and Coster's innocence and not being emotionally hardened.

  • Shadow Squadron's ruthless ambush and bait tactics, going as far as to shoot the parachuting pilots.

  • DD's main PR campaign, while at first it works, still relies on the eventual real ace to support the direly weak remaining FCU forces with real CAS and air superiority.

  • Mostly a multi-character bot.

  • The superweapons/8's specialty craft GAME series jets are logged but not at the forefront here and may need key reference activation.

  • RE - campaign mission references will be optional via dates/time and operation name. For guiding the story. It won't be done soon or until wiki catches up.

  • Reference to lasers and railguns being actual threats in this Strangreal world / universe and the usual buff lore tweak to jets having a larger, optimized arsenal.
