The Team did all the hard work. The Team came up with all the good ideas. The Team members deserve all the recognition. Me? I was the Team Go-Fer. Whenever the real modders on the Team needed someone to do simple stuff, that was my job. Otherwise, I just sat there being quiet.

Special thanks
The Team would like to extend a very large thank you to Achilles here. His gracious permission to examine and use his ideas and concepts gave this project the perfect start.

Introduction
While I was working up the A2PhysPjct, I playtested the mod by continually grabbing an SP Campaign mission along with an IA game. Originally, I planned the SP Campaign redo as part of that project because the SP Missions are, well, let's just say they need some help. I had a series of PMs with Achilles about his ruthless AIPs and the ideas behind them. He graciously permitted us to use them. The more we looked into changing the AIPs and buildlists as part of A2PhysProj, the more we realized the Single Player Campaign needed to be split off into its own mod so it could recieve the care and attention it deserved. What you have before you is the first part of the mod, the Federation missions. The Klingon and Borg Campaigns will follow. NOTE: ImpSPCam has been tested with the following conditions in place: 1) Patch 1.1 applied. 2) The Single Player officer limit changed to 750. A modded RTS_CFG file is included in the Bonus materials folder. 3) Some Team members tested ImpSPCam with the the A2 Physics Project installed, since this was originally intended to be a part of that project.

This may work with your personal install, it just has not been tested that way.

Release Info:
Permission is granted before anyone asks to use anything included herein for another project destined for public release. That is correct. You have permission prior to asking to include this in your own publicly released mods. I do insist the people listed as part of the ImpSPCam Team be mentioned in the credits if you use any of this in your own mod. They put a lot of time into helping me out. Their hard work deserves public recognition and acknowledgement. Finally, we cannot really prevent you from taking all or part of this and claiming you did it. But if you do this, you and we will always know the real truth of the matter, won't we?
