Freespace: BtA - How the West Was Lost, Surrender Edition
2This is the sixteenth mission of the Between the Ashes campaign anthology's first campaign, Slaves of Chaos. BtA is a series of three campaigns for Freespace 2, all set between the events of Silent Threat: Reborn and the start of the Freespace 2 campaign.
In the main run of this mission that went up this morning, I did the honorable thing and fought my way out of the pirate ambush. I decided to go back to the simulator and try surrender to see what they'd do. Unsurprisingly, they eventually opt for murder anyway. Surrendering under false pretenses is a war crime for very good reason, but as we saw in the main video it's the only practical way to win if you don't know that help is coming. Fortunately for this version of events, they committed perfidy first by failing to honor the surrender.
Unlike previous Freespace content on the channel, this is going to be a blind first play! Between the Ashes was released during my decade off from this game, so all of this will be brand new to me as I play it. A sequel, Between the Ashes 2, is in development, but won't release until 2022.
