Ahoy Zero,
Yes, you are correct. It will be a Co-Op MP Campaign.
The missions will be created according to a semi-historical timeline. I envision a typical mission lasting between 1-2 hours.
All skippers will use TeamSpeak and in-game chat to communicate with each other. We are still finalizing the setup regarding comm usage - we want to make it as minimal as possible.
The entire campaign will last a month or more - taking place once a week, Saturday evenings.
We will be tracking tonnage and awarding medals according to each Skippers performance.
MP play is really fun, I encourage all SHIII players to explore this aspect of the game. We play at least two nights a week as a "team" and have an absolute blast.
I hope you decide to join us, you won't regret it!
Cheers,
