It has everything; drama, politics, combat, and suspense. You could write several novels about this campaign and it's events. I can't wait for the next part.

I have posted it in this thread: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,4786.0.html

Not only this story is very good by itself, but also it is an awesome tutorial for Aurora. I learnt a lot about combat, and I am currently implementing some of the interesting quirks in my current game. . .
For example, my new scout ships will get rid of their active sensors (Also known as the "SHOOT ME! I'M OVER HERE!" beacon) in favor of 3 very large box launchers loaded with long range drones loaded with two kind of buoys :
- Active sensor with a few days duration (enough to gain some intel on the ships and even allows a lurking stealth fleet to shot without compromising its location)
- Geosurvey/small EM & Thermal passive sensors with a 6 month lifetime (dual use - durable hostile monitoring and checking a planet at the same time)
Thanks for the mostunwieldy detailled oceanic space sim around

Your writing alone was enough to grab my attention and lure me in. I can't believe what I had missed. Excellent writing leading to an excellent game where gameplay and mechanics trump visual fluff (that's what we have imaginations for).
Keep up the writing. I can't wait to see what becomes of poor China. I am rooting for them all the way.

As of yet, my approach to Aurora has been purely about the first 3 x's of the 4X game type, so combat details have improved greatly my grasp of the fourth X.
Wish this campaign would continue.

Very eager to see the next installment.
Thanks Steve!

I would like to continue with the campaign as I have expended a lot of effort on it. It may be a while before I return to it though because of Newtonian Aurora.

Assuming we get a 'I'm done with the NATO campaign' from Steve, what is stopping members of the community from carrying on regardless: either a single player or 3 players. Steve could post a few thoughts on what each faction planned for the future and then release his campaign out into the wild to fend for itself.
My time is short and my actual combat experience with Aurora nil (I dislike going beyond the sim city aspects of this great game) but I want to see the Chinese achieve something.
Anyway - [caveat] they sell 1 litre of wine in barcelona for less than a euro [/inebriated caveat] i would be willing to partake to keep this great campaign going.
ps - free wifi for the apartment, don't make me laugh - it only works if you sit in the stairwell of the 3rd floor in the dark on your own pretending to be normal.
EDIT: Free wiki doesn't make sense even when the wine is finished and the beer begins
